Brits: Plan Ahead for 2026 Travel Changes
•
Brits planning holidays in 2026 should be aware of significant travel changes, including the EUs new Entry Exit System, higher passport fees, expiring health cards, digital boarding passes, rising tourist taxes, and stricter rules on short-term rentals. The EU system will scan fingerprints and take photos instead of stamping passports, potentially causing longer queues. Passport costs have increased, and European Health Insurance Cards from 2020 are expiring. Budget airlines are going digital-only for boarding passes, and tourist taxes are rising. Travel experts advise planning ahead, factoring in costs, and allowing extra time at borders to ensure a stress-free trip. Checkout Solipillow.com
