I offer a first class personal travel service for holidays, flights, cruises, hotels and more. I can also tailor make journeys to the most amazing places on the planet. You can book with total confidence with every purchase from Brilliant Travel. All our holidays are completely financially protected, so your money is always safe with complete ATOL bonding and ABTA protection. Brilliant Travel is p

art of the Barrhead Travel Group, founded in Scotland back in 1975, and is one of the most financially strong travel businesses in the UK. As an independent travel agency we are not aligned to any one tour operator, so you can trust us to find the best holiday for our customers from a vast selection of suppliers. Additionally our massive buying power means that you will benefit from the lowest possible prices. And of course, not having a shop, I don't have to keep shop hours! Personal consultations and planning can be done at a time and place to suit you. All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this Website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/atolcertificate"

Once again Liverpool John Lennon Airport has been voted the best in the country, keeping the top spot it earned last year.

Obviuosly we don't often get the option of where we fly from, depending on our destination, but if the choice is there, havce a look at Liverpool and the many other smaller regional airports around the country. Quicket to get through, easier to park close, great serrvice, and often better flight times as well.

If there's an option for your trip, I'll always let you know.

From next year you'll be able to fly directly from Manchester (and Birmingham) to Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast region, with the reopening of the refurbished Solerno airport.
Jet2 will be flying once weekly between May and September 2025, and have a small range of hotels along the coast, some of which are trade exclusive.
This is a sought after region , so be quick if youre looking for stunning scenery and a touch of Italian style!
Here's an example...
Villa Annalara
9th June, from Manchester
7 nights B&B from ยฃ1259pp

Over the next few day's you're likely to see articles about 'Brits made to pay extra for holidays by the nasty EU'...depending on which news outlet you go to. In fact, the ETIAS is for citizens of all contries outside the Shengen zone, so we're not being singled out.
It's an extra secutiry measure that works in exactly the same way is the USA and Canadian ESTA, and is easier than the visa requirements you'll need for the likes of Australia, India and even Egypt.
Have a read of the article below, and if in doubt, your travel agent should be able to help.

UPDATE the ETIAS will be ' available' from summer 2025, but is due to become mandatory from November 2025. Fingerprint and face recognition systems will however, be introduced later this year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

'Officials have confirmed that Britons travelling to Europe next summer will need to apply for a visa waiver.

The visa waiver will cost โ‚ฌ7 for people aged 18-70. There will be no charge for children and those over 70.

It will last for three years, or until the holderโ€™s passport expires, whichever comes first.

Passengers will apply online or via a mobile app and most applications will be approved within minutes, say officials, although they have warned it might take up to 72 hours or even up to a month for more complex cases.

As part of the application process, โ€˜full disclosureโ€™ is required regarding an applicantโ€™s background, including travel history and any criminal record.

The visa waiver, officially called the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will follow the implementation of the automated EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which she has confirmed will launch on 10 November 2024 following years of delays.

Introduction of the ETIAS will follow six months later, meaning it should be in place by mid-May 2025.

When the EES comes into force in the autumn, travellers with non-EU passports, including those travelling on British passports, will need to register their fingerprint and have their photo taken the first time they cross the border.
The new system is expected to lead to delays on arrival at EU airports and ports as it will take border guards up to two minutes longer to process each passenger.'
