British holiday makers rush back to UK from Portugal before it joins amber list

BRITS have packed into Faro Airport again as they scramble to get home from Portugal before having to quarantine at home.

Furious holidaymakers raged at their travel “nightmare” as they dashed home before Portugal is slapped on the Government’s amber list on Tuesday.

Long queues of tourists were snaking through Algarve airport as families from the UK raced to beat Tuesday's 4am deadline.

It follows similar scenes yesterday as holidaymakers piled into Faro Airport in a desperate dash to get home.

Following the Government's announcement on Thursday that Portugal was being moved from the green list of quarantine-free destinations, Brits have shelled out hundreds more pounds on plane tickets and Covid tests.

More than 100,000 Brits were thought to be battling to get home from Portugal over the weekend.
