Hey travel buddies! Sharing is caring…..

Sharing a couple of upcoming travel changes for 2025 since so many are either planning trips or have already booked.

1) Real ID requirements coming - Starting on May 7, 2025, travelers passing through airports within the U.S. will be required to carry a Real ID (⭐️).

That means if you have not renewed your license and don’t have a star (⭐️) on your license, you are not in compliance and must get a new license to travel by air domestic (within the U.S.). Check with your local license bureau for more info.

2) To visit Europe, Americans will have to pay an ETIAS fee via a system similar to the UK system. ETIAS is expected to launch around May 2025 and require US citizens to obtain authorization before visiting countries in the EU. It is expected that all travelers ages 18 to 70 will have to pay a $7.25 fee.

3) Americans will need authorization to enter the U.K. Effective Jan. 8, the UK will use a new Electronic Travel Authorization system for visitors from countries that don’t need a visa to visit. Travelers from the United States will have to apply and pay a fee of $13.

Day 3 - Luxury Symposium (2 days late)

Despite the 9.5-hour journey home from Cleveland, Day 3 was a success. We had the opportunity to meet with several travel suppliers in the luxury market and engaged in insightful discussions about what luxury truly means in the travel industry

Many people associate luxury with high price tags, and while that can be true in some cases, it’s not the whole story. Most travelers are looking for exclusive experiences that prioritize comfort and quality, and I completely understand that.

Value is just as important, and I strive to incorporate all of these elements into every journey I plan for my guests. When you’re ready to embark on your special adventure, please reach out to explore the fantastic options I have for you!
