Brits jetting off on holiday won't be able to kiss their loved ones goodbye at airports or be met by them on their return to the UK under strict new travel rules.
Access to airport terminals will be limited to passengers, crew members and staff only, the Department For Transport announced today.
The measures are among a list of new safety protocols aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus. The guidance states that to help social distancing in airports passengers should "enter the airport on their own, unless they are members of the same household".
It says: "Only give non-passengers access to the airport where needed. "For example, to pick up passengers with reduced mobility or unaccompanied minors, or for access to public transport."
