This site is aimed at people in the UK who want to travel to Europe during the pandemic. We analyse COVID-19 case data for each country and try to predict how likely it is will add or remove a country from its quarantine-free travel corridor list.
Keep in mind that this is only our independent assessment. We cannot predict how case rates will change, and we cannot predict government policy. We also cannot guarantee that this data is accurate. You should use this site only as part of your research into travelling abroad, alongside other sources.
If you think something is wrong, or you have a suggestion, please contact us at hello@tennessine.co.uk or on Twitter.
We've ordered each country in Europe from least to most likely to be removed from 's travel corridor list, and assigned them one of four categories:
UNLIKELY
POSSIBLE
LIKELY
EXCLUDED
will be removed from 's quarantine-free list .
If you're currently in
and need to get home before the mandatory quarantine period begins, there are a few things to consider to try to avoid heavily-inflated last-minute flight prices.
- Consider flying to a different airport in the UK. It is possible that flights to other cities in the UK are significantly cheaper to the point that a long-distance taxi, coach, bus, train, and even last-minute hotel stay could be cheaper. (You should also ensure that remains on the list if you are considering flying to a different nation within the UK.)
- Consider taking two flights, diverting to a different country in Europe. Flight prices are likely to be cheaper travelling from to a country other than the UK. It is important that you ensure that the connecting country allows entry without quarantine from , and that allows entry without quarantine from the connecting country. This can take some time to research, and carries with it its own risks, but it can reduce flight costs by hundreds of pounds in some cases. A good starting point is using Skyscanner to find available flights.
- Searching for one way flights from your nearest airport in to 'everywhere' can give you a good overview of what is available and at what cost.
- Searching for multi-city flights is a good way to find the overall cost of travelling via a connecting country.
- The European Union's Re-open EU project gives details of the entry requirements for EU countries, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland. This can help when trying to find a possible connecting country.
