Travelers across the U.K. and abroad will be relieved by the news just in time for Easter. Travelers will be able to enter the country without restrictions in the spring of 2020.

The rule changes are possible due to the vaccine roll out, and will mean greater freedom in time for Easter, said Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.

TRAVEL UPDATE

All remaining Covid travel measures, including the Passenger Locator Form and tests for all arrivals, will be stood down for travel to the UK from 4am on 18 March.

These changes are possible due to our vaccine rollout and mean greater freedom in time for Easter.

The U.K. only allows fully-vaccinated people to enter if they fill out a passenger locator form within 72 hours. Travelers who aren't fully immunized must take a COVID-19 test before departure, fill out the PLF, and pay for a test after arriving.

There are no travel restrictions in place for anyone arriving in the U.K. after the rule changes.

The announcement will be good news for the airline industry as both directed particular ire toward the continued use of the PLF.

The Department of Health was said to want tougher curbs to keep track of future variant coming into the U.K., which had stymied previous attempts to revise the PLF system.

Travel leaders have claimed for months that PLFs are redundant and bad for business.

Ireland ditches most of its COVID-19 rules just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

The airlines UK chief told the Daily Mail last month that ministers are right to remove the remaining restrictions but that they need to cut across the economy.

If there is no requirement to self-isolate for those with [COVID-19] in the UK, jabbed or otherwise, there can be no justification for continuing with travel restrictions for the unvaccinated.

The forms have proved unpopular among travelers who say they are long-winded and add an extra layer of unneeded stress to international travel.

The CDC just relaxed guidance mask requirements, but they are still required on airplanes.

The UK travel sector is back, according to Sky News.

With travellers returning to the UK no longer having to fill out unnecessary forms, we can now look forward to a normal travel experience.

Julia Simpson, president and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council, said that other countries had stopped using passenger locator forms, but it was good news for the U.K.

If we want to compete on a world stage, we need to be open for business and not ask people to fill in lengthy forms.

The removal of all remaining U.K. travel restrictions, including the Passenger Locator Form, is the final important step towards frictionless air travel, helping to further restore consumer confidence as we welcome more customers back to the skies this spring.

With these barriers to travel removed, Britain is open for business and passengers can connect with loved ones and business colleagues again.

It remains to be seen if this is the end of the COVID-19 restrictions in the U.K.
