UK Entry Rules Changed ETA Needed : Pack Your Bags and Your ETA
Attention, globe-trotters! Starting January 8, 2025, if you're from one of 48 lucky non-European countries, including the US, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore, you'll need a shiny new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before setting foot in the UK. Yes, even if you’ve been waltzing in visa-free for years, the party now requires a cover charge.
Think of the ETA as your virtual backstage pass to the UK. Without it? No tea, no crumpets, no Big Ben selfies—just a one-way ticket back to wherever you came from.
Need help with your groups and incentives in the UK? Contact us!
The Rundown on the UK’s ETA
Who needs it? As of January 8, you do if you're from one of those 48 countries. Come April 2, European visitors will join the ETA queue too.
Who doesn’t? British and Irish citizens (because, duh) and anyone who already needs a visa.
What does it cost? Just £10, which is basically two lattes in London. It covers multiple trips for up to six months and stays valid for two years.
How to get it? Online or via a dedicated app, because in 2025, even immigration is going digital.

Big News About Rio Carnival 2025!
Big News About Rio Carnival 2025!
We've got some fantastic news about Rio Carnival 2025! Drumroll, please... the official Samba Schools Parade is now going to be three nights instead of just two!
And why is it an extra night? It is all about making sure everyone has a good time and not feel like sardines in a can. This way people can spread out the fun over three nights, help relieve overcrowding and thereby enhance their comfort.
This alteration also means that there are more seats! Yes, they have heard your pleas for more frisas tickets. However, most camarotes took over the spaces meant for frisas hence securing those best positions was problematic within two nights only. So now we’ve got some air to breathe and we’ll have some extra frisas.
Here’s another advantage: all schools will march under twinkling night lights now. No more missing out on glorious twilight moments with a sunrise performance!
But wait, there’s more! The Champions’ Parade in which the top six schools perform again at the Sambadrome still occurs on Saturday after Carnival. Think of it as a “mini carnival” – great for those who cannot stay through all of Carnival. The Champions’ Parade package lasts two…
Air China Launches One Stop South America Route
Air China Launches One Stop South America Route -
Going by the given instructions, there are some fantastic news you need to be prepared for in aviation. Air China is preparing to restart its flight services to South America from this April and it’s a big deal! This move is making waves in the aviation industry, especially because it will introduce the world's longest one-stop flight service.
So what is the scoop? Well, two times per week, Air China will fly from Beijing Capital to São Paulo, which is directly serving São Paulo’s Chinese Brazilian population. Cool, huh?
When looking at Cirium’s cool data on flight schedules for May – August 2024 even on GCMap distances really show that this route stands out among others.
Now there are other long-distance routes like Aeromexico’s Mexico City-Monterrey-Seoul and KLM’s Amsterdam-Buenos Aires-Santiago but they cannot compare with Air China’s new service. Over the last couple of decades, many carriers have offered single stop flights between Asia and South America albeit none has provided direct links from China except Air China.
Nonetheless this isn’t Air China’s first time on this route. Initially they had started flying f…
