Despite questions over the return of international travel, holiday firms say they have seen a surge in bookings following the latest Covid update.
The Government has said the decision on easing the restrictions around international travel will not be eased until mid-May at the earliest.
But what does that mean for your summer holiday?
While some are playing it safe looking at breaks in the UK, holidays abroad are available from June with Newcastle International Airport offering flights to more than 20 countries. These are subject to change due to the restrictions surrounding the pandemic.
But if you’re looking for some inspiration, here are some of the flights you could find yourself on this summer.
