Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive at ABTA has advised that the European Commission has extended the deadline in their contingency legislation.

UK airlines will still be able to operate flights between the UK and the EU until at least 24 October 2020 after the European Commission extended the deadline in their unilateral contingency legislation. He said: ‘This legislation was originally passed as a contingency measure in the event of a no-deal scenario, an extension until at least October 2020 will give customers much needed confidence in making their travel plans’.

Your Questions Answered

We understand that you may have questions about how Brexit could affect your holiday. To help put you at ease, we’ve answered a few common queries below.

Will I need to pay any more for my Scenic holiday after 31 January 2020?

No, you’ll pay nothing more for your holiday other than the total price advertised online or in our brochure. What’s more, you can even take advantage of additional savings in our seasonal campaigns. Our all-inclusive promise guarantees no nasty surprises, before or after Brexit.

Will I need a visa to enter Europe post Brexit? (Visa Information Update - Thursday 4 April 2019)

The European Parliament has approved legal changes, ensuring that UK citizens will not need a visa to travel to the EU for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180 day period following Brexit, even in the event of a no-deal exit on the 31 January 2020.

Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive of ABTA – The Travel Association said:

“This provides absolute certainty that UK holidaymakers and business travellers will be able to travel visa-free to Europe, deal or no deal.”

“It follows on from the confirmation that flights will continue to operate, even in a no deal. This means that two of the most important concerns for UK tourists and business travellers visiting the EU have been addressed and will provide a further boost to confidence about travel to the EU after Brexit.”

Will Brexit affect flights to and from my destination of departure?

We believe that Brexit won’t affect scheduled flights. On 8th March the UK Government announced an agreement confirming EU airlines will be able to continue operating flight between the UK and the EU, even in the event of a no deal. However, should there be any changes after 31 January 2020, we’ll do everything we can to make sure this doesn’t disrupt your travel plans. If you’re worried about flying post-Brexit, you might consider one of our no-fly options.

Could Brexit affect the quality of my Scenic river cruise?

No. Providing guests with exceptional levels of service is at the heart of everything we do, so we’ll make sure your river cruise isn’t affected by Brexit in any way. We pride ourselves on providing our guests the very finest local cuisine, premium branded beverages and best in class excursions and experiences, so you can look forward to the same 5-star luxury for which we are renowned.
