Ready to fly?

From the 4th of October, the Government's traffic light system has been replaced with a new, simplified system for travellers returning to the UK. There is now just a Red List and Rest of World List.

If you are fully vaccinated within 14 days of returning to the UK you no longer need to take a test before your return to the UK from a non-red list country. You will only need to take the day 2 PCR test after you have returned and you will not be required to quarantine when returning from a country on the non-red list.

We recommend you visit the GOV.SCOT advice page for more information.

If you are arriving to the UK from a red list country, the rules haven't changed. You will still need to pre-book a mandatory 11-night quarantine hotel package for your arrival in the UK, which will include the day 2 and day 8 PCR tests. These same rules also apply to those who are fully vaccinated.
