⚠️2 IMPORTANT UPDATES IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING TO EUROPE LATER THIS YEAR OR IN 2025 ⚠️

The European Union is introducing two important changes for travel to Europe. These are:

- EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which is planned to launch on 10th November 2024.
- European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), due in mid-2025.

EU Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) - No Cost
The EU Entry/Exit system is a new electronic system that will replace the physical stamping of passports when you go through passport control when arriving in and departing from your destination. It will register all entries and exits to and from the participating European countries, which basically means it will register your movements every time you cross a border in or out of the EU/Schengen area.

Once the new system is live, when you go through passport control on your arrival to, and departure from your destination, as well as providing your passport you will also need to have a photo of your face taken, and your fingerprints scanned.

The EU has a target date of 10 November 2024 for the EES to go live.

European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) – expected mid-2025 at a cost of 7 Euros
ETIAS is the EU’s new travel authorisation which you will need to apply for ahead of your travels to 30 European countries once the system is introduced. It is a similar concept to the USA’s ESTA scheme.

It is due to be introduced in mid-2025, but there is not yet an exact date as to when it will come into force. This means you do not need to have a ETIAS for travel to Europe at the moment.

When implemented, travellers will be able to apply for an ETIAS by the official website – www.europa.eu/etias.

As all of my clients receive a pre travel check list, you will all be reminded of the procedure and all the information and support that you need. ☺

☀5 REASONS WHY SEPTEMBER IS A GREAT TIME TO BOOK YOUR 2025 HOLIDAY!!☀

1) YOU GET YOUR FIRST CHOICE! - People often come to me with a long list of requirements to make their holiday perfect - why shouldn't you, we all work hard for our holidays! Booking early ensures you get everything you want and not having to compromise with what is left!
2) MORE FREE CHILD PLACES AVAILABLE - This can be a massive saving on your total cost and there is a limit to how many a tour operator can offer. Once they're gone, they're gone!
3) TIME TO SAVE - By booking now and just paying a deposit, you have time to work out monthly payments and pre budget rather than having to find the full balance in one go.
4) CHEAPER AIRLINE SEATS - Low cost airlines are now releasing seats for Summer 2025 and this will often be at their lowest prices. Schedule airline seats such as BA and Virgin release 11 months before meaning Summer 2025 is now available, giving you the best priced seats and they often have seat sales in September. Not to mention you get your first choice of flight times!
5) EARLY BOOKING OFFERS - Many hotels want to give you an incentive to book early and will offer a % off if booked by a certain date.

Norwegian Getaway

🌞🛳“OUT OF OFFICE” 🛳🌞 From tomorrow I will be away until Monday 13th September, on a Mediterranean cruise experiencing everything the stunning NCL Getaway has to offer. It will be my first time abroad since the pandemic so it will be interesting to go through the new travel procedures. I’ll report my experience to you all about this when I return 😊

💜This video sums up exactly why I do what I do and why our holidays mean so much to us 💜 The events of the past year have taught us many things, including the fact that being able to spend quality time with family and friends has never felt so important. We’ve missed exploring the world with the people that mean the most to us and as we look forward, I’ll keep your wellbeing at the heart of everything I do. I hope you enjoy reliving your travel memories with us as you watch our film, and when you’re ready to travel again I’ll be here for you, both for trips around the UK, and to distant shores

Following yesterday evening's government announcement, I now have a handy guide to what it means for travel in the coming months. Whilst I'm not opening the fizz just yet, it is in the fridge cooling nicely and I am cautiously optimistic! It certainly looks like we are moving in the right direction and the end is in sight for all of us ✈️🛳🌞🌍🍾🥂
