I have just returned form a fantastic trip to New York with my family and I have an amazing tip for you!

FASTER IMMIGRATION (who doesn’t want that?!)
If you travelling to the USA, download the Mobile Passport Control app MPC and populate it with your details and all people travelling with you.

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/mobile-passport-control/id1520656722

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.dhs.cbp.pspd.mpc&hl=en_GB

Then submit an application for entry. You will need to input travel and passport details and take a selfie of all passengers. It will allocate you to a separate lane away from the crowds and greatly speeds up there immigration process.

One downside - you can only submit it 4 hours before entry which is no good if you are on a long haul flight with no WiFi. Still populate the passengers in advance and as soon as you enter the airport, log into the free WiFi and complete the process. Only takes 3-4 minutes.

An incredible man! 😮👍👏

This morning, as Captain Tom Moore completed his challenge to walk 100 laps of his garden, soldiers from The Yorkshire Regiment (a regiment formed from Tom's old regiment The Duke of Wellington's) surprised him with a guard of honour, at a safe distance.

Captain Tom Moore has raised over £12m for NHS charities 👏

Well, it may look like that great British summer we had last year is not making a comeback at the moment and it feels like it's been raining forever!.

Never mind, if I were you, I'd get in touch with a Travel Counsellor (aka me!), get myself booked on a flight to a far off destination for the summer and enjoy guaranteed sunshine, tropical heat, crystal clear seas and a refreshing cocktail or two. Sounds dreamy right?

Well you're just in luck, I have some really exciting last minute offers available, however, due to demand (and the fact that the weather is resembling that of winter!) there is limited availability left so don't leave it a rainy second longer, get in touch... 020 3432 5520
