Bye @firstdirect. Your First Directory kept me as a customer for years but, with plenty of alternatives out there (and switching bonuses), there’s no incentive to stay as a customer.

Summer 2026.
For European holidays by air, this is beginning to look a lot like 2019: the last great year for a while.
Wide horizons, with many new flights launching.
Low fares, thanks to planes powered with fuel at last year's prices.
Make the most of now

@SimonCalder How many club seats were there?
English

British Airways restores Heathrow-Guernsey link.
But why?
Partly, to keep an Airbus A319 occupied in the middle of the day.
Also, to cash in on the island's premium travellers who want to connect worldwide.
On my flight, Club was full – economy half-empty.

Aviation fuel: easyJet cool, Ryanair less so.
Europe’s biggest budget airline tells me: “If the closure of the Hormuz Straits continues into May or June then we cannot rule out risks to fuel supplies at some airports in Europe.”
Here's what it could mean.

@StefanReynolds @SimonCalder Passport stamping will continue until the new system is implemented at every entry/exit point across the bloc.
Otherwise you could enter somewhere with the new system and exit somewhere without, and they won't know how long you've stayed.

EU entry-exit system.
Despite a meticulous timeline, the digital borders scheme has failed to meet the deadline to:
End "wet stamping" of passports.
Register all crossings of third-country nationals (including British travellers).
Next deadline: 7 Sep 2026

@PaulCox2468 @SimonCalder Used it today. Zero queues and everything completed within 2 minutes.
I guess it depends on timings of arrivals as to how busy the machines/e-gates are.

@SimonCalder We had to use this in Lanzarote and it was a nightmare.

@SimonCalder Used it today in Lanzarote. Such an easy experience and zero queues.

@SimonCalder Landed into MLA and had photos and prints taken by an officer operating a machine at the desk (not a self service machine). So is that EES and I’m registered? Or not?

EU entry exit system: I have just checked, and the word from Brussels is that the digital border scheme will be fully up and running one month from today, as planned.
I am not 100% convinced.
Good luck, everybody.

@superTV247 Visualised podcasts are such cheap TV
English

NEW 🚨 When Race Across The World returns for series 6 soon, it will be accompanied by a sideshow for the very first time — a visualised podcast.
A host is TBC, but from the same production company as The Traitors, it’ll likely be the same as Uncloaked.
