“And if it comes back negative then you can do whatever you like while you are staying there.”
Ms Mclintock also believes that the news of a vaccine has provided an additional layer of confidence for those looking ahead to future holidays.
“As we’ve seen with the vaccine news and the positive impact it’s had on travel bookings, there is a real appetite for post lockdown holidaymakers to get out and explore, as soon as they can and it’s safe to do so,” she said.
“Now the amount of time travellers have to quarantine on return to the UK is significantly reduced, we would expect to see a direct impact on traveller confidence resulting in an uptick in searches and bookings on Skyscanner.”
However, the sudden changes to travel rules and regulations are having an impact on how far in advance holidaymakers plan their trips.
She added: “As well as flexibility around destinations, we’re increasingly seeing travellers wait until the last minute to book their flights and opting for flexible ticket options in order to continue to travel in the current climate with peace of mind.”
