    Passports Required from 28 September for Ferry Travel Republic of Ireland to Great Britain

    Ireland also doesn't have ID cards for its citizens, but does have ID-sized passport cards. But you can only apply for Irish passport card if you hold an Irish passport (and the expiry date is 5 years or the expiry date of the full passport, whichever is earlier). As an aside, I travelled by...

    Eurostar Plus is becoming worse

    I take that argument, but only up to a point. If you have been saving up over a number of years for a free ticket it is a bit galling to see the goalposts move. If you had been saving in cash, you could have earned interest during the time elapsed while you were saving, which hopefully might...

    Travel Insurance for Interrailing - Advice Appreciated

    Face & hand scans at Eurostar terminals?

    When I departed from Brussels in June, it took me a full hour to get through security and passports, meaning that I only cleared British immigration at the time the train was due to depart. As I was by no means the last in the queue, it was delayed. I travel on an EU passport, but there was no...

    Flexible return Geneva airport to Geneva Cornavin

    When I was in Switzerland earlier this year, most hotels (including one in Geneva) e-mailed me the transport pass in advance. In one place that didn't, I enquired at the Tourist Information Office, who said that you are allowed to travel from your point of arrival to your hotel and if challenged...
