Upcoming Changes for Travel to Europe

The European Union is introducing two important changes for travel to Europe. These are:

1. EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which is planned to launch on 10th November in 2024.

2. European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), due in mid-2025.

For more information, visit ABTA's website or the European Union travel pages on the EES and ETIAS.

Passport Validity Requirements - EU Countries

If you are planning to travel to an EU country e.g. France or Austria, follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be:

• Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’).
• Valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

British Airways Overnight Bag Drop

BA offer an overnight bag drop where guests can leave their bags the day before for flights departing before 10am. More info here.

BA have confirmed that it is possible for Skiworld guests flying on our charter flights to do this. Although you cannot check in the day before, if you visit a BA check in desk you can drop your checked luggage. You must state that you are traveling on a Skiworld charter flight and therefore cannot provide boarding passes.

Skiworld Flight Information

Note: As we mostly use chartered flights, "Skiworld" often does not appear on airport website arrival/departure pages, flight tracker websites or on airport departure boards. Please consult your Skiworld travel itinerary documents where your specific airline name and flight number is clearly displayed, which you can then use to check the status of your flight(s)

Since Britain left the European Union, there have been some minor changes when travelling to Europe. Read HERE what you can expect and what you need to look at before you go on your next ski trip.
