Travel Restrictions per Country

ATPI’s update of the most recently announced governmental travel restrictions and quarantine measures will help you in managing your upcoming travel plans. Please note that country and airline status may change at any given time without prior notice.

UK | Test to release for international travel: FAQ

On Tuesday 24 November, the Government announced the introduction of a ‘test to release’ for international arrivals, helping to provide greater flexibility for international arrivals, whether they are coming to England for business, on holiday or returning home, while continuing to resolutely protect ourselves from imported cases.

From 15 December, anyone arriving in England who needs to self-isolate will now be able to pay for a test and take the test 5 full days after they left a country, territory or region not on the travel corridors list. A negative result will allow them to cease self-isolating. Tests can be found on the gov.uk providers list.

Public Health Passenger Locator Form

Provide your journey and contact details before you travel to the UK. If you arrive in the UK from 8 June onwards, you must complete this form before you travel. You cannot submit the form until 48 hours before you’re due to arrive in the UK. You’ll need to show your completed form when you arrive at the UK border, either by printing a copy, or showing it on your phone. 

The government will use this information to contact you if you or someone you’ve travelled with develops coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, and to check that you’re self-isolating for the first 14 days after you arrive in the UK. You may be fined £100 if you refuse to provide your contact details. You also may not be allowed to enter the UK (unless you’re either British or a UK resident).

Exemption: From 10 July 2020 you will not have to self-isolate when you arrive in England, if you: are travelling or returning from one of the countries with travel corridor exemption. Have not been to or stopped in a country that’s not on the travel corridors exemption list in the previous 14 days

Protocol for Arrivals in Greece

+ The Passenger Locator Form (PLF)

Beginning July 1, 2020, the Greek government has determined how the country will welcome travelers. The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is a key element in the planning. All travellers are obliged to complete their PLF at least 48 hours before entering the country, providing detailed information on their point of departure, the duration of previous stays in other countries, and the address of their stay while in Greece.

Traveller safety

While the risk of catching an infection on an aircraft is typically lower than in a shopping center or an office environment, there are simple measures you can take to further reduce the risk of illness if you are travelling. These include practicing hand hygiene by washing them regularly with soap or an alcohol-based sanitizer, and not touching your face, especially eyes, nose, and mouth.
