RYANAIR has launched a flash sale on flights in July, with fares from £5.
The majority of seats are on planes to amber list destinations meaning you'd have to quarantine on return to England, but there are some green list bargains to be had too.
For instance, London Southend, Bristol, Newcastle or Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca is on offer from £5, as is Birmingham, East Midlands or Bristol to Ibiza.
Birmingham to Malta can be snapped up for a slightly pricier £16.99, as can East Midlands to Menorca.
However you need to be quick – as the sale only runs until midnight tonight. Anyone looking to book flights should check the Ryanair terms and conditions about their zero change fee.
Today is a big moment for thousands of British holidaymakers as the Balearic Islands, Malta and Madeira have now been added to the green list.
Other nations turning green today include Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, Dominica, Barbuda, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.
In a major win for summer holidays, the bumper list of new destinations where Brits can travel without quarantining on their return to England opened up from 4am today.
All 16 green list additions except Malta are on a "watch list" which means they could revert to amber.
The announcement has been welcomed by cash-starved airlines, travel companies and holidaymakers longing for a post-pandemic retreat after months in lockdown.
Six countries have also moved to the red list, meaning that Brits will have to spend 10 days in a quarantine hotel on their return to England.
These include the Dominican Republic, Tunisia, Haiti, Eritrea, Mongolia and Uganda.
But as the UK starts to open up to more countries by adding them to our green list, entry into other nations has become more difficult.
A number of countries including Spain, Malta and Portugal have tightened border rules for travellers from the UK in recent days, because of fears over our rising number of Delta variant cases.
Brits heading on holiday to Spain will need to be fully vaccinated or have a negative Covid test, under new rules being enforced later this week.
Spain had been one of the few holiday destinations that allowed UK travellers to enter without restrictions, with Brits with just one jab allowed in without having to quarantine.
Portugal has carried out its threat to make British adults who travel to the country self-isolate for 14 days from today unless they can show they are fully vaccinated.
Meanwhile, Malta requires Brits to have both jabs to be allowed into the country, including 12-17 year olds – ending any family holiday plans for Brits.
