'It's a complete mess', Gatwick passengers react to new UK-France quarantine rules

British holidaymakers are racing back from France today to avoid the two-week quarantine that comes into effect at 4am on Saturday.

They face paying hundreds of pounds to make a quick exit from the country with the cheapest ticket on a Eurostar train from Paris to London going for £210 this morning.

The cost of taking a car through the Channel Tunnel on Eurotunnel Le Shuttle services on Friday morning was £260, with the operator warning those without valid bookings not to travel to the terminal.

All trains after midday are fully booked. Telegraph Travel has learned of one-way flights from the south of France to the UK as high as £800
