ABTA updates Brexit travel advice

ABTA is updating its advice for travellers in the run up to Brexit on January 31.

This latest advice highlights that the UK is now on track to enter a transition period at the end of the month meaning that all travel requirements and arrangements will remain the same until at least the end of December 2020.

This new advice replaces that previously given to reflect the government?s ?Get Ready for Brexit? campaign which spelt out how a ?nodeal? scenario would affect important areas such as passport validity, European Health Insurance Cards, driving licences, taking pets abroad and data roaming.

Mark Tanzer, ABTA chief executive, said: ?The UK is primed to enter a new Brexit phase from January 31, when trade talks begin, and when it does nothing will change when it comes to travel. Valid passports can still be used, EHIC cards will still be valid and the same gates can be used at border check points.?
