Amber Nectar?

 » 16,000 a day can head to sunny Spain  » Tourists to ignore warning on holidays

Defiant sun-seekers will flee the cold spring weather and jet out to Spain today, ignoring the advice not to travel to amber list countries.

Under the Department for Transport’s traffic light system, when they return they will have to self-isolate at home for 10 days and take two coronavirus tests.

But after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez threw open the doors this morning, many lockdown-weary Brits plan to head for the Costas anyway.

Flights from the UK to Spain are set to double to around 80 a day this week, carrying an estimated 16,000 passengers. It means more than 100,000 tourists could be off to sunny Spain this week.
