⚠️ Latest Travel Updates

A recent update highlighted by London Stansted Airport shows a sharp rise in drop-off charges, with “kiss and fly” fees reportedly increasing to as much as £28 for a short stay of around 15 minutes. The move is part of a wider push to reduce congestion and encourage travellers to use public transport options such as trains, buses, and longer-stay car parks, which are positioned as more environmentally friendly alternatives. While airports argue this supports sustainability goals and smoother traffic flow, it’s sparked frustration among passengers who rely on quick drop-offs for convenience. If you’re planning your next trip, it’s more important than ever to understand how these charges work and how to avoid them—head to our Kiss & Fly blog on Air Holiday for smarter airport drop-off tips and alternatives.

💡Top Travel Tip

✈️ Travel Tip — If the FCDO Changes Travel Advice Before You Fly

If the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) changes the travel advice for your destination before departure, don’t panic — but do act quickly.

First, check the exact wording of the advice. There’s a big difference between “exercise increased caution” and “advise against all travel”.

If the advice changes to “against all travel” or “against all but essential travel”, most travel insurance policies will no longer cover the trip — but airlines and package providers will usually offer changes, credit, or refunds.

Next, contact your airline, tour operator, or booking provider to see what options are available. Many will offer free changes when official government advice changes.

Finally, check your travel insurance policy wording. If the trip becomes non-covered after booking, your insurer may still guide you on what your options are.

💡 Tip: Always check FCDO advice a few days before travel, not just when booking.
