Bye-bye long queue times! E-gates are BACK for UK travellers after landmark deal 😍

British travellers will be delighted to know that they will now be able to use EU e-gates at airports again after a new deal has been agreed with the EU.

Keir Starmer has finally struck up a post-brexit deal with the EU after a LOT of negotiations. But what does that mean for us? Well, theres a few things actually:

  • UK holidaymakers will be able to use more eGates in Europe; meaning less time waiting in queues, and moretime living it up on holiday, winning!

  • Pets will also be able to travel more easily, with the return of "pet passports" for British cats and dogs - we'll be sure to keep you in the loop with this once we know more.

  • A new Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement will make it easier for food and drink to be imported and exported, likely causing prices to drop! Downing Street said some routine checks on animal and plant products will be "removed completely" - speeding up the process even more!

In the words of Keir Starmer, it's "time to look forward" and "To move on from the stale old debates and political fights to find common sense, practical solutions which get the best for the British people." (Source: Sky News)

What do you think? For us, we think it's about time this happened. We certainly won't miss the long non-EU queues. This news is breaking, so we will keep you updated as we learn more. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates 👀
