Immunotourism: How Covid vaccines could open up your holiday plans Simon Calder © Provided by The Independent
The coronavirus pandemic is still extremely serious. Families are grieving: more than 108,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the UK.
The virus spread rapidly across the world and into the UK by air travel. And the UK lockdown means holidays at home or abroad are currently illegal.

Even with the plane swaying disconcertingly in some wild winds, I could make out the Avianca jumbo jet on the ground at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.
Along with most fellow passengers aboard the Dan-Air plane from Gatwick, that Colombian national airlines flight was my target. The Boeing 747 was preparing for a round-the-houses departure to Bogota via Madrid and Caracas – where I was hoping to hop off.
In the Venezuelan capital, I would transfer to Aeropostal (an airline, not a form of lightweight letter) for the final leg to Georgetown in Guyana.
