Starting November 2024, the EU is implementing a new automated border control system. This will replace traditional passport stamps with digital records, including fingerprinting and facial photos. If available, you can use e-Gates in many countries. This system will affect travellers with passports from outside the EU or Schengen Area, which includes most travellers from the UK. For more details, check the UK government website. Be prepared for potentially longer waits at border control during the initial rollout. If your travel package includes a transfer or you've arranged a private transfer, we’re coordinating with our partners to account for the extra time needed at border control. As a result, your return transfer might be scheduled earlier than usual.
