Brittany Ferries has called on the UK government to provide "urgent clarity" on the date by which returning holidaymakers can switch from expensive PCR tests to cheaper lateral flow tests.

The company has reportedly seen a 71% increase in reservations for the October half-term period and a 25% increase in forward reservations for 2022

The measure, announced by transport secretary Grant Shapps last Friday (17 September) and accompanied by the end of pre-departure tests commencing 4 October, will make an international holiday "more attractive and less expensive for travellers", according to the company.
