Bookings in early February were found to be higher than at any point since the start of the pandemic with an increase of three million since September 2021, according to tourist office association Antor.

As of November, flights from the UK to the US have recovered to 92% of 2019 levels

Brits are continuing to prioritise spend on travel

The association has estimated that 9.2 million future international trips are currently booked, involving 26.1 million British travellers, spread evenly throughout the first three quarters of 2022.

Research, commissioned by BVA-BDRC, revealed the UK public are "more positive" about the situation in relation to Covid now than at any point since the start of the pandemic (with the exception of May 2021).

This translates to the highest comfort levels with overseas travel and travel by plane since this was first measured in November 2020.
