British Airways (BA) has introduced new measures to increase consumer confidence when travelling to amber list destinations.

The move is expected to "support Britons when they travel to a country that might be on a government watchlist to help them get home"

Those travelling with the airline until 30 September to a country which goes from amber to red while they are in-destination will be able to change their flight home for free.

It follows transport secretary Grant Shapps’ announcement on Thursday (8 July) that fully vaccinated travellers returning to the UK from an amber list country will not have to quarantine from 19 July.
