Sunseekers can banish any winter blues with travel firms offering massive discounts in a bid to entice bookings amid the gradual easing of travel restrictions.
Fully-vaccinated travellers are likely to be able to jet away for February half-term without taking tests on their return following reports that the UK Government is preparing to ditch most Covid restrictions.
Travel bosses are hoping the anticipated change in Covid rules will enable the industry to bounce back after months of uncertainty. Many companies are using money-saving deals on a wide-range of travel options to tempt customers - and there are some real bargains available.
Phil Salcedo, head of market for UK & North America at HolidayPirates, said: "While traditionally this has been the most miserable day of the year, travel companies cutting prices to win back cautious British tourists mean you can escape the blues for over 20 per cent less than any time in recent memory.
“While we still have to be aware of changing regulations, book package holidays and take out travel insurance, the outlook now is looking increasingly positive. So we have the perfect antidote to gloomy January days – extremely well-priced holidays to blue sky destinations.”
