Spring holiday destinations without Covid testing.

Wednesday, March 16, 2022

In addition to the UK scrapping all Covid entry requirements, various other countries have also relaxed their travel rules in time for spring.

With many European hotspots removing all pre-travel tests requirements for fully vaccinated passengers, travel is easier than ever. A few further-flung destinations have also removed all Covid-relation restrictions altogether.

Here are the countries making Easter holidays easy for you.

France.

With pre-travel tests for vaccinated passengers dropped on February 12th, double-jabbed travellers simply need to show proof of two vaccine doses on entry and complete a 'sworn statement' health form. Your second dose must have been at least 7 days before travel, with children under 12 exempt from all Covid-related restrictions.

Average temperature for spring: High 17°C / Low 8°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport with easyJet and Vueling.

Spain.

Spain only allows entry to fully vaccinated adults, with children under 12 exempt from all entry restrictions. You must complete a health form 48 hours before your flight, which will return a QR code to show during boarding and on arrival. Unvaccinated under 12-year-olds must provide a negative PCR test result within 72 hours prior to travel.

Average temperature for spring: High 18°C / Low 8°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Madrid-Barajas Airport with Air Europa, British Airways, easyJet and Iberia.

Greece.

No testing or forms are required. Since February 7th, double-vaccinated visitors have been able to enter with their Covid Pass alone. The country also scrapped the need to complete a passenger locator form on March 15th.

Average temperature for spring: High 20°C / Low 12°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Athens International Airport with British Airways, easyJet and Wizz Air.

Italy.

Fully jabbed tourists have been able to enter Italy with proof of their vaccination alone since March 1st. Unvaccinated children six and over can show a negative PCR or antigen test, while those under six are exempt. Adults must fill in a passenger locator form and register any minor on it.

Average temperature for spring: High 19°C / Low 9°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport with easyJet, Vueling and Wizz Air.

Ireland.

Ireland dropped its last remaining entry restrictions on March 13th. Meaning zero Covid admin for the vaccinated or unvaccinated, regardless of age.

Average temperature for spring: High 13°C / Low 4°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Dublin Airport with Aer Lingus and Ryanair.

Cyprus.

No need for a pre-travel test for vaccinated visitors, simply arrive with proof of vaccination and Cyprus Flight Pass (completed 48 hours prior to departure) in hand. Children ages 11 and under are exempt from testing and proof of vaccination, while children 12-17 must take a PCR test within 72 hours or a rapid antigen test within 24 hours of travel.

Average temperature for spring: High 22°C / Low 12°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Larnaca International Airport with British Airways, easyJet and Wizz Air.

Hungary.

If you're fully vaccinated, there are no testing or quarantine requirements. Children 17 and under travelling with a vaccinated adult can enter without the need for proof of vaccination or test too.

Average temperature for spring: High 17°C / Low 8°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Budapest Ferihegy International Airport with easyJet and Wizz Air.

Slovenia.

From late February all of its testing, quarantine and proof of vaccination requirements were dropped, regardless of vaccination status.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport with easyJet.

Iceland.

Like the UK, Iceland recently removed all of its remaining Covid-relatest entry requirements.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Keflavík International Airport with easyJet and Icelandair.

Norway.

Since February 12th, Norway did away with all travel and domestic restrictions, with unvaccinated arrivals treated exactly the same as those double jabbed. No form-filling, testing, proof of vaccines or quarantine is required.

Average temperature for spring: High 11°C / Low 2°C.

Daily non-stop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Oslo Airport with Norwegian.

Tunisia.

All Covid-19 testing requirements for fully vaccinated visitors have been completely removed, with only a small chance of being asked to test on arrival. Your second vaccine must have been taken at least 7 days before your trip, with children 17 and under exempt from proof of vaccination or test.
