✈️ **Travel heads up for anyone flying home from the Canary Islands right now**

If you’re heading back soon, make sure you allow *plenty* of extra time at the airport. With the new passport exit system now in place, queues have been much longer than usual.

In some cases, people have even missed their flights — despite arriving 3 hours early, which would normally be more than enough.

While some airlines may occasionally wait for delayed passengers, Ryanair typically won’t. If you miss your flight, you could end up paying for a new one, plus possibly an extra night’s accommodation and other added costs — definitely not what you want at the end of your trip.

So if you’re travelling home from the Canaries, plan ahead and give yourself as much extra time as possible to avoid unnecessary stress. Safe travels! ✈️

❗️ UK Passport Fees Set to Increase ❗️

Passport application fees are expected to rise from 8th April (subject to approval).

New pricing will be:

🔸 Online Applications
• Adult: £102 (currently £94.50)
• Child: £66.50 (currently £61.50)

🔸 Postal Applications
• Adult: £115.50 (currently £107)
• Child: £80 (currently £74)

🔸 Premium (Same-Day Service)
