✈️ Are you heading off to Europe for May half-term holidays?

The EU’s new electronic border system - Entry/Exit System or EES – will be in use at airports, ports etc.

ℹ️ This means going through passport control may take longer than usual as your fingerprints and facial scans may be taken at the destination border. Give yourself plenty of time to go through passport control when taking your return flight home, as there may be longer wait times at due to these additional checks.

If you have any concerns about your own booking, please come and speak to us.

✈️ Fuel Shortage Headlines – Holiday Reassurance for Our Customers ✈️

With recent headlines about fuel shortages, it’s completely understandable to have questions about your upcoming holiday.

ABTA’s Chief Executive, Mark Tanzer, has issued the following reassurance today:

“We really don’t want people worrying about their holidays; planes are taking off daily and people are continuing to get away on their holidays. The Government and airlines are clear that there isn’t a problem with fuel supply. If you have a holiday booked in for the coming months – including the May half term – we expect it to go ahead as planned.

Whilst there have been reports about cancellations globally, these amount to less than one percent of overall flights."

What this means for you:

We expect your holiday to go ahead as normal, including May half term. We are monitoring all airline and tour operator updates closely.

If anything changes that affects your booking, we will contact you directly and talk you through your options.

If you’d like to chat through your travel plans or have any concerns at all, we’re here to help:

ℹ️ Please note: we are open tomorrow as normal, but will be closed on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. You can still message or email us though and we’ll get back to you as soon as we reopen on Tuesday if not earlier!

You may have seen recent coverage about rising fuel prices and wider global events affecting travel. Understandably, this can create uncertainty when planning your next trip, especially if you’re booking online.

By booking with an independent travel agent such as Goodyer Travel, you benefit from:

ℹ️ Impartial, expert advice – we are not tied to any single tour operator or airline, so we can give you balanced guidance on routes, timings and value.
ℹ️ Real-time insight – we monitor worldwide events, airline updates and fuel-related changes, so you receive up-to-date information before you commit.
ℹ️ Protection through package travel – when you book a package (flights + accommodation and/or other services), you benefit from stronger legal protection, financial security and clearer rights if your holiday is disrupted or needs to be changed.
ℹ️ One point of contact – if circumstances change due to global events or fuel issues, you have a dedicated expert to manage amendments, alternatives or refunds on your behalf.

If you are considering a future holiday and want clarity, security and support, we are here to help.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your next travel plans with one of our agents or call into the shop to see us face to face.
