    Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄 Ilana and family! All the best for 2025. Thank you for all your great travel info and updates. As a Canadian that flies AC, the amount of carry on luggage is mind boggling! Every flight we've been on for awhile now, they make an announcement, that there is too much carry on and would anyone like to check their carry on for free.I get some people are maybe doing carry on only to save the cost of checking luggage, but it's getting ridiculous. Even kids seem to have to have their own carry on. Oh well first world problems. Cheers from London, Ontario.

    Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for the new travel rules for travelers… I will be traveling UK this year. I paused your video, googled UK visas and immigration…. And within 3 minutes I processed ETA application, which was so easy…just needed my passport and smartphone and email address. $13 US payment .. all steps online. Received approval from UK government within an hour. The visa is going until Jan 2027!
    Thanks for bringing this visa info to my attention!!!

    I know that the AC carry-on charge is infuriating, but necessary, as some people exaggerate with bringing multiple bags on board. I recently travelled to Europe with AC and I sat watching people coming on board with multiple bags and they get upset that they have no room in the bins above their seats! I’ve been travelling for 60 years and the level of stupidity & selfishness nowadays never ceases to amaze me! It was a matter of time that Air Canada would introduce a new policy on paying for carry-on luggage it’s getting ridiculous and the flight attendants are the ones that have to deal with this problem, it’s very stressful for them!

    I'm not understanding the carry-on. You get with your ticket one carry-on and one personal bag. People that have more than that should be the ones paying extra regardless of how much their economy ticket costs. I've had to check my carry-on at the gate a couple times because the bins were full of people's stuff that was way more than the 2 smaller bags they were "allowed" to bring on board. Penalize the people creating the problem, not some poor person that is just trying to go visit Grandma for the last time.

    A great overview of the current and impending travel requirements for 2025! Thanks.
    We are going on a 12-day cruise from Southampton on the X Apex to Belgium and Norway. In addition to trying to determine the ETA/ETIAS issues, we also discovered the passport requirements for the UK (passport must be valid for "duration of your stay") and the Schengen area (valid 3 months after your departure date from the Schengen Area) - something to watch as other countries require at least 6 months validity after your intended tavel dates.

      @ I had a expanded passport with 2-3 visa in it. No, I’m not going back to China so that’s a couple of pages. But even Abu Dhabi who was using biometrics still stamped my passport! This passport was issued when you only got entry and exit stamps for the EU, so not many there. And my visa for india wasn’t in this passport either. And hopefully I won’t get another stamp for entering and exiting St Maartin, as that was a family emergency. But this passport will have one for Barbados.
      I’m not sure which stamps you thinking are dropping, but I’m sure both Argentina and Australia stamped my passport even though they required an electronic form be signed and printed.

    The new Air Canada “no carry-on” rule follows Westjet’s own. It stems from the fact that a lot of us want to do carry on only and there not being enough space on board. Unfortunately, I still see many people putting more than one item and taking up more than one carry on space and this doesn’t seem to be policed by the flight attendants. It’s created a stressful situation for those of us who prefer a carry on only way to travel so I’m hoping that enough people will take these basic fares to alleviate some of the pressure on the overhead space.

    I’ve seen other channels with comments about the charge for carryons and such and many are enraged. Not angry, not disappointed…. Full on rage. Calling on horrible things related to CEOs. And declaring they will sneak on what ever they can get away with. I call full stop on this nonsense.
    Flights cost what they cost. You get what you pay for. If a person can travel with a personal item only, fabulous for them. But that item better be under the seat in front of them and not taking up overhead bin space. They are specifically given a lower rate due to there lack of luggage. They should enjoy this privilege in peace.
    In addition, coats and purses and umbrellas, etc. do not belong in the overhead bins. I have been on flights where the only open space near me was where someone’s coat is and they don’t own up. Everyone pretends it not theirs or they can’t hear me. Unbelievable. And yes I do ask and say something to try to problem solve ahead of time. The flight attendant has to get involved and it’s stressful for them to find me and others a spot. They have to meet a very tight timeline for boarding and takeoff. They don’t need to be the overhead bin police. We can all work together.
    The entitlement I observe of some people flying is sad and disheartening. It’s already challenging enough to travel by plane. Why make it harder for your fellow flightmates? We all have somewhere to be. Cooperation ❤ goes a long way.
    Not paying for a carry on and sneaking stuff on will not affect the CEO at all. They will just come up with stricter protocols such as paying gate agents to look for those who did not pay for specific services and charging a steeper rate at the gate. Some airlines right now are doing a boarding zone scan that beeps when a person tries to board in a zone before theirs is called. From what I understand they are then sent to the back of the line.
    Bottom line as with any bonuses in life that is above and beyond basic needs we have to pay to play. It’s just like dining out and tipping. If you don’t have the money to cover all the expenses including the culturally acceptable gratuity, people should not go out the eat. It’s financially irresponsible. As with flying, if a flight fare cannot be budgeted with all the needs like seat assignments and or carry one bags, people need to find another way to get to the destination.
    The way I look at things is travel is a privilege to enjoy and respect. It is not a right. And traveling by plane has a high level of self awareness and responsibility. Any action where a person steps out of the guidelines and rules affects other passengers. If I pay for a specific seat and a carry on bag at full price I expect to have those needs met. Unfortunately, there are people who feel they are being wronged by the airline and retaliate in ways that are entitled and inconsiderate. None of these actions are helpful. And most affect other passengers.

    Very informative video! One question, we are going on a Princess British Isles cruise next year. So we will need the ETA for the UK but entering Ireland and France, bookending it, how do we get the ETIAS in time? We will be in the UK a couple days before we leave. Would Princess have something set up on board?

    • @preachertrips
      @preachertrips 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      ETA (UK) you can get now. The issue with Etias is that it has been delayed, it is now meant to be up and running 6 months after ESS (the fingerprint and photo entry part for Europe) that was meant to be up in Nov 2024, but has been delayed yet again till 2025 (No idea when in 2025....). So it all depends on when you are travelling.

    New Zealand and Australia have their own version of this new money grab. New Zealand has NZeTA and Australia has ETA. New Zealand's NZeTA is $68.92 USD. Australia's ETA is $12.95 USD.
    On the baggage front, does any airline think you travel overseas or cross country with only the cloths on your back? One checked bag should always be free included as part of the ticket price.

    Air Canada offers 3 free checked luggage items for active or retired Canadian OR American military members.
    Not sure how it's going to change with the new 2025 policy with carry ones. Can one use their checked allowance for a carry on?
    Last time I flew Air Canada, the instructions were to check in online with "no luggage". Then when I arrived at the airport, I went to the special services desk and got ID'ed and bags tagged /accepted.
    Don't take this as gospel. Do your own research on the current policy/procedure.

    I'm taken with the idea of Apple Airtags working with the airlines. It's a brilliant concept. I would like to know if airlines will also work with the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, which I find incredibly convenient. It's reassuring to know that my belongings are always within reach.
    It's worth noting that Americans or Canadians with legal residency in EU countries are exempt from the ETIAS requirement. The ETIAS, or European Travel Information and Authorization System, is a new travel authorization that will be required for non-EU citizens who reside in their country of origin and arrive in an EU nation. The exemption for non-EU travelers with legal residency in EU countries is a significant convenience for many travelers, like our family.
    Have a wonderful holiday!
