@SimonCalder hi Simon, whilst realising the situation is very fluid, can I ask what your thoughts are on travel to Cyprus? No restrictions on travel as per FCDO and flights appear to have resumed again from UK - again, realise that things can change in a moment! Many thx
@Gatwick_Airport hi guys, any updates on when your app will be back up and running for live flight info?
Hasnโt been working for a while now unable to load departures/arrivals due to โconnection errorโ thanks
@SimonCalder @cazb1682 Iโm exactly the same thinking will I be wrongly denied boarding for a short break to Cyprus 1/11/25-6/11/25 from LGW, though i know my passport meets both requirements and completely valid for EU travel. Issued 9/3/16 exp. 9/7/26. Donโt see why I should have to renew so early!
@Ukstatto@SimonCalder Yep already printed pg 27-29! Makes the rules with the 2 requirements super clear - pp <10 years old on entry, 3 months validity on leaving. Itโs that simple, plus gives such a clear example of this, hence I just donโt understand how this could even be challenged when presented
@SimonCalder Wow, super anxious re: travel next week with EJ to Cyprus. pp issue 9/3/16. Exp 9/7/26 so I know valid for travel up to 9/3/26 for stay up to June 2026. Already printed out border guard handbook pg 27-29, plus printed the EJ travel doc passport checker confirming clear for travel
@Vicky_F1Girl@SimonCalder Yes invalid for entry to EU if issue date for eg, was 29 May 2015 and EU entry was 31 May 2025 that would be over 10yrs old despite the https://t.co/ymfOPOYx1a being 2026. If EU entry was, say, 27 May 2025, that would be valid for entry as <10yrs old, regardless of 2026 exp. date
@SimonCalder@Vicky_F1Girl Hi Simon. confused! EU travel: passport <10yrs old on entry+3months remaining on exit. Eg: If issued 30/5/15, exp. feb 2026, valid for EU entry up to 29/5/25 for stay up to 90 days as expires 2/26? I thought https://t.co/ymfOPOXZbC is just that regardless of additional months
@Vicky_F1Girl@SimonCalder Apologies, was the passport issued pre-Brexit? What was the date of issue? Even if there are additional months carried over the 10 yr mark and the passport expires May 26โ thatโs still valid for travel to EU (3 mths remain on exit from Greece) is that correct Simon??
@SimonCalder@Vicky_F1Girl Thatโs terrible, so sorry for your daughter, can I ask which airline this was? - Simon since when do we need a full 12 mths on passports for EU travel? Thatโs a complete disregard of the rules isnโt it?? Less than 10 yrs old on entry day+3 mths validity on EU exit? Correct?
@easyJetholidays hi guys just wanted to say fantastic flight LGW/PFO today EZY8651 amazing crew and pilot. Please pass on our thanks to the team. Bag drop to taxi transfer couldnโt fault it ๐๐
@SimonCalder Sorry but I find this appalling! Surely there must be someone who has to take ownership/responsibility for airlines needlessly and repeatedly turning passengers away like this. Everyone seems completely powerless to stop it and that canโt be right!
@SimonCalder Wow, when is this ever going to stop Simon? I just donโt understand how ground staff are getting away with turning away correctly documented passengers time and time again. So wrong. Is there nothing at all that can be done?? It really shouldn't have to be like this! ๐๐๐
@SimonCalder Ever so grateful Simon, thought so but wanted to be certain given that youโre the โgo toโ person for reassurance on this! ๐๐๐
@SimonCalder - Hi Simon, can I double check passport validity with you for EU travel?
Issue date: 9/3/2016, expiry date: 9/7/2026, thanks ever so much ๐๐๐๐
@easyJetholidays Thanks Dan, please pass on our comments to the cabin crew and pilot. They were wall fantastic and we couldnโt fault anything from bag drop to taxi transfer ๐๐๐ซถ๐ซถ
@easyJetholidays hey guys huge shout out for flight EZY8651 LGW-PFO fantastic crew and flight. Thank you for announcing my bโday today! Super efficient taxi transfer to hotel. Back at our special place IVI Mare. Thanks easyJet! ๐๐๐
@pt27red@easyJet Yep agree, terrible, only has flight details and cannot add full holiday itinerary which was always easily added. Just shows and stays on a blank white screen. Wonโt allow sign in to view booking etc. Was so much better than this previously
@TUIUK just DMโd you. Whatโs happening with flight TOM4314 LGW-PFO flight?
Transparency would be super helpful plse as already given 2 different reasons from ground crew. Thank you
@londonboyjohn@TUIUK Hi, John, yes thanks so much, yes been keeping an eye on that and also keep checking PFO airport!! Get more info from other sources!
