Spanish Travel News - June Edition

Dear {!firstname_fix},

New Spanish Security Information - Important Information!

If you are flying to Spain after 11th June then be prepared to provide some additional information to your flight company. Spain is introducing new security regulations that mean they will not let anyone travel who does not provide the Spanish Authority's with certain information before or at check in.

I have just had an email from Easyjet asking me to sign into my booking and manually add information such as my passport number, date of birth etc.

You can read the update information, in full, here on the message board..Click Here

All this will seem a bit odd for anyone outside of Spain but for those of us that live here showing photo ID is a daily occurrence, even supermarkets ask for it if your paying for a debit or credit card!

Since we introduced our message board last summer we have posted around 1000 questions and answers. In this time I think we have answered somewhere in the region of 3500 emails!!

In order to cope with the amount of FREE help and advice people need we have had to recruit yet another helper to our team!

From now on Linda, Jo and I will do our best to answer your questions and queries as quick as we can!

Don't forget that we love to hear about your travel tips or advice that you can give us to help other travellers.

DISABLED PASSENGERS:

We frequently get asked questions from less able travellers and it would be great to hear from any travellers with disabilities who have passed through any of the Spanish Airports. Your advice and help could really make a differnce to soemone else's holiday!
