Without an ETA travel permit for UK flights from February 25th

3.2.2026 by Sari Viljamaa

The electronic ETA travel permit is a requirement for boarding flights or, for example, Eurostar trains when travelling to the UK, from 25 February 2026. BTN Europe: ”Another change, coming into force from 25 February, will prevent eligible visitors without an ETA from boarding their transport to the UK”.

Passengers transiting through UK airports who go through UK border control will need an ETA, unless they are transiting via Heathrow or Manchester airports and do not go through UK border control. If the transit also requires changing airports, an ETA will be needed.

The price of the ETA travel permit is GBP 16 and it is planned to be raised to GBP 20 during the current year.

European Parliament wants intermediaries to refund fees for cancelled journeys

26.11.2025 by Sari Viljamaa

GBTA, BT4Europe and VDR are all lobbying against the European Parliament proposal.

European Union-based travel management companies and other intermediaries could be forced to refund their own fees as well as the original ticket cost when journeys they book on behalf of customers are cancelled. The proposal by the European Parliament is currently being considered in its trilogue negotiations with the European Commission and the European Council, which represents the EU’s member states.

The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), BT4Europe and German travel managers’ association VDR are among corporate travel representative groups lobbying against the Parliament’s proposal. They say it would unfairly penalise intermediaries, who would be compelled to cover their additional costs by raising fees.
