Considerations for a last minute booking after the 'Green List' updates take effect?

Hi 

I currently have 2 weeks off work and would like to get away if possibile. I am considering going to the Balearics, Malta or Madeira for a week.
I understand this may not be practical and as I have just got married I want to prolong celebrations with a nice vacation without having a stressful time. 

I am currently unsure how long to allow for testing (i.e. is 7 days sufficient - could you get away with less)?
I am unsure of what preflight arrangements need to be in place other than testing and any entry requirements of the country travelled to? 
Are any package providers generally better to deal with than others?



Many thanks

    You need to check the entry requirements for the country you will travel to as they all have different requirements-

    Malta for example requires proof that you have been vaccinated.

    You can check on FCO website for the latest entry requirements for each country .

    Where a test is required for entry it is generally has to be dated within 72 hours of arrival into the country - but again each country is different and the situation is constantly changing. So you need to keep checking for the latest information.
