Subsidise the cost of Fit-to-Fly COVID Tests
The cost to travel to and from a ‘green-list’ country ranges from £90 to £120 depending on the testing requirements of the country of destination. The government should subsidise this cost partially or entirely to make travel accessible for everyone and support struggling airlines.
The government insists on making holidaymakers pay for ‘Fit-to-Fly’ PRC and rapid flow tests from private health companies despite making rapid flow tests available for free for the UK public. It is unfair to charge the UK public wishing to revive the travel industry such high rates. For a family of four travelling to a ‘green-list’ country it could cost up to £1,000. This makes travel to 'green-list' countries only accessible to the rich.
