If you want to book a last minute half term break, the Government announced this afternoon that anyone returning to England from the Canary Islands (Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Tenerife, La Gomera), the Maldives, Denmark and Mykonos will no longer need to quarantine for 14 days.
The quarantine requirement will be come into force from 4am on SUNDAY morning. If you were planning to head back before then, I recommend you add on a couple of days to your holiday!
Liechtenstein has been added to the quarantine list.
Note that the rest of Spain remains on the quarantine list. Only the Canary Islands are exempt.
BA Holidays has just launched a Canary Islands flash sale to celebrate, with £100 off packages booked by Tuesday 27th October. Here is the small print:
Savings apply to new holiday package bookings only where a minimum spend, qualifying destination and cabin is met.

The Government has already amended the list of countries exempt from the Foreign Office ‘do not travel’ list (click here). This is usually the trigger for being able to abandon your holiday plans and make a successful travel insurance claim.
The official ‘travel corridor’ list is on this page of the Government website.
