Alan French, chief executive of Thomas Cook, said this weekend was expected to be the busiest in bookings so far this year.: "The news is a shot in the arm for both the travel industry and families up and down the country who are crying out for some much-needed late summer sun."Bookings for October half-term are up more than 200 per cent compared to August as people lock in great prices for beach breaks in their favourite Mediterranean sunspots.

"There has been a pick-up in the long-haul market. With the removal of key countries from the red list, like Kenya, like Egypt, like the Maldives, those will see very strong sales over the weekend.I would expect this weekend to be the biggest of the year so farThe relaxation in travel rules was confirmed just before 5pm, but it saw an immediate spike in holiday interest.

Emma Coulthurst, travel advice expert from the holiday price comparison site, told The Sun Online: "It will be an incredibly popular option." But he called for the red list to be slashed further "given no variants of concern have been identified".

Family's holiday hell as they find 'nail in bed and pubic hair in sink'Almost three weeks after the holiday the family is still waiting for a response to their complaint and refund request. Should have done their research. Been problems with that company at that site for many years. It seems like you're playing Russian Roulette with your health if you read the horror stories families have posted from various Pontins sites around the U.K. Certainly a shadow of its former self. Would literally rather go out on a few day trips than stay at one of those places!
