Christmas travel plans to countries across Europe have taken a thrashing after the latest round of tightening entry restrictions in response to Omicron.
We Brits have been given the boot from France and Germany, while Austria has imposed a 10-day quarantine on UK travellers who can’t provide proof of a booster shot, essentially scuppering scores of family ski holidays over the festive break.
Closer to home, more travel chaos looms; millions of travellers face problems as the great Christmas getaway begins, with widespread train cancellations and congestion expected on key motorways.
Train travel is being severely disrupted in parts of Great Britain, with a points failure on one of the key long-distance and commuter lines adding to problems caused by Covid-19 and industrial action.
