Simon Calder’s ‘Ask me Anything’: the Independent’s Travel Correspondent will answer your questions live

This week, residents of the US and the EU got the news they have been waiting for: that they will be able to travel to Britain without quarantine if they’re fully jabbed. The news will pave the way for families and friends to reunite without the threat of isolation, and will provide a much-needed bounce for the UK’s inbound tourism industry.

The plan to allow overseas visitors – and UK expatriates vaccinated abroad – to avoid self-isolation on entry from amber list countries will apply to arrivals into England, Scotland and Wales.

The news comes ahead of the next update to the green, amber and red lists next week; and questions remain over the status of France (currently on the bespoke “amber plus” list) and the ongoing infection surge in Spain.

On Thursday 29 July at 4pm I’ll be on hand to answer your travel questions about the latest rule changes.

Don’t worry if you can’t see your question – they will be hidden until I join the conversation to answer them.

Then join us live on this page at 4pm today as I tackle as many questions as I can within an hour.
