Re: Boris has not gone
Best time to travel abroad for a holiday is early or late in the season. Get better deals on flights and accommodation, avoid bank holidays and school Easter & Christmas holidays.
Being seniors do we really need the hassle of families fighting their way to departure gates.
Like a few I expect we had Premium Access passes to airport lounges now completely ruined by little Johnny and Mary running wild.
Disneyland in Paris is not called Euromisery for nothing.

Re: Boris has not gone
Best thing, is go elsewhere for the holidays, the Caribbean is great, or Florida, a bit longer flight, but worth it. Day's going out and coming back are ruined anyway, wherever you go by plane. The longest wait to get into was the UK when we were in the EU, London airports anyway.

Re: Boris has not gone
Like Uk we had the first E passports way back in the early 2000's but you have to wait until you need a new one.
According to our DFAT we only need to show our E passport to the machine in UK, not like years ago standing in a queue for an hour or more.


Happy daze John in Oz.
