The US is to reopen its border to fully-vaccinated travellers from the UK from November 8.

White House assistant press secretary Kevin Munoz said on Twitter: “The US’ new travel policy that requires vaccination for foreign national travelers to the United States will begin on Nov 8. This announcement and date applies to both international air travel and land travel. This policy is guided by public health, stringent, and consistent.”

The USA is one of our most popular long-haul destination and in a normal year attracts almost five million visitors from the UK.
