Flying from Birmingham Airport 👇

Top tips

• Arrive exactly when your airline check-in opens. Not early. Not late. But on time. Arriving many hours before your airline check-in desk opens to either check in and/or drop luggage won’t help you or others. You risk being stood by a closed desk for ages.

• Take 2 mins to remove all liquids, pastes, gels and electrical items from your bag before the x-ray scanners. Better that 2 mins than risk an extra wait having your bag searched and rescreened.

• If you’re in the security queue and your flight departure/boarding time is looming, we’ll call you forward. If you’re worried, just ask one of the team and they’ll help you.

So good to be back working out round the world fares for clients. Love the challenge and they always include Australia and New Zealand in these itineraries.
Remember I am a small business and like many we have gone through a challenging couple of years.

Always lovely to speak to clients when they have returned from their travels. I have just been speaking to clients who have recently returned from the US. Supporting them with the all the form filling and testing to depart and return now have the confidence to travel again. Great News!

Yesterday, the UK government has announced that pre-departure testing will no longer be required for travellers returning to the UK and arrivals will not have to isolate until they get a negative PCR test.

Time to celebrate, I have now been with Travel Counsellors for 14 years. A great company to work for and they have given us such positive support through such a challenging 18 months. In the industry we have had ash clouds, hurricanes, tsunami, airline and tour operator failures but this has been the biggest challenge to overcome. Onwards and Upwards!
