Britain will allow international travel to resume from May 17 but just a handful of countries made a list of destinations open for quarantine-free holidays as the government cautiously lifts coronavirus restrictions.
The "green list" for easier travel announced on Friday (UK time) included just 12 countries and territories, among them Portugal, Israel, New Zealand, Australia and the Faroe Islands.
That angered stricken airlines and holiday companies that are battling for survival after a year of minimal flying.

The former US Ambassador to New Zealand is in no hurry to get back into politics, saying recent events have left him "disgusted".
Scott Brown was appointed by former Donald Trump in 2017. A former Senator, Brown endorsed the controversial former reality TV star in 2016 when his candidacy was still seen as a joke by many. As Ambassador, Brown defended some of the former President's views, such as keeping colonial statues in place and challenging the results of the 2020 election in the courts.
