Thomas Cook launches £1 deposits on holidays to Mexico, Thailand the Caribbean

If you've been keeping an eye out on holiday deals for a sunny getaway this year, you may want to check Thomas Cook's latest offer.

The travel firm, which relaunched as an online travel agent in 2020, is currently offering £1 deposits on a host of bucket list holidays including Dubai, Mexico, Caribbean Islands, and US hotspots such as Florida and New York.

The deals are valid on holidays that are booked with specific airlines such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates to name a few.

You can already book the £1 deposit holidays online, but it's worth noting that they are subject to availability - and that the £1 deposit is per person. Your booking confirmation will also provide further details on the dates when the rest of your balance is due.

With a number of countries relaxing travel rules for Brits, there are plenty of holiday options for those who want to get away for some sunshine.

For example, Mexico is one of three countries to be open to travellers without any Covid test or vaccination requirements, while Dubai recently eased its rules and axed pre-travel Covid tests for vaccinated holidaymakers.

Meanwhile, the UK's travel rules already eased back in February.

Under the changes, fully vaccinated arrivals no longer need Covid tests before or after arriving in the UK. For unvaccinated arrivals there are still pre-departure and post-arrival tests, although the requirement to self-isolate for 10 days has ended.

Currently all passengers still need to fill out a passenger locator form before travelling to the UK, but there are hopes that these could come to an end in time for Easter.

Travel restrictions can change quickly during the pandemic, so if you are planning a trip abroad always check the latest Foreign Office travel advice for a destination before booking or going on a trip.
