This year, travel will be more expensive. But it’s not only airline tickets and hotel stays that travelers will need to shell out for. In 2026, a surge of new tourist taxes and fees are going into effect, across entire countries, states, and cities, as well as specific sites like museums and monuments.
U.S. travelers visiting the U.K. for short stays in 2026 and beyond will need a new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) in order to enter the country. The ETA costs £16 (about $22), and travelers can apply online through the official government website or on the UK ETA app. To apply, you’ll need the passport you’ll travel with an email address, and a credit card or debit card. You’ll also need to upload a photo of the person applying.

A spokesperson for the Department of State confirmed a U.S. passport could be cancelled in error in extremely rare cases. The spokesperson said that once a passport has been reported lost or stolen, it is no longer considered valid and cannot be used during travel. The spokesperson added travelers who apply online to renew their passport are not able to travel on their previous passport since those are automatically invalidated after the online application is submitted.

Some American travelers say their valid passports were mistakenly flagged—here’s what to know before your next trip.

“What passengers often interpret as cabin hosts ‘sitting on their hands’ is actually a deliberate brace-ready position. Cabin hosts sit upright in the jump seat with feet flat on the floor and hands secured on their thighs or beneath the legs,” Drossos says. “This posture stabilizes the body, minimizes the risk of injury during sudden movement or turbulence, and ensures hands are immediately available to respond if an evacuation or safety action is required.”

Ever wonder why the cabin crew sits on their hands during takeoff and landing? A flight attendant weighs in on how this brace-ready position keeps crew safe.
