Ryanair passengers 'must confirm' as checking in now takes longer
Those travelling on a UK passport will need to undertake an extra step when checking in Ryanair passengers travelling on a UK passport are required to undertake an extra step when checking in online - meaning the process may take longer. Ryanair passengers are required to check in online and print or download boarding passes, with the exception of those travelling on Flexi Plus ticket, who can check in at the airport for free. Travellers can check in online from 60 days before their flight, if they have paid for an allocated seat. Other passengers, who will be given a seat by Ryanair at random, can check in between 24 and two hours before the scheduled time of departure. Because of new rules that came in post-Brexit, for trips to the EU Schengen Area, British passports must be valid for at least three months following the day of departure, and have been issued less than 10 years before the date you plan to enter. Ryanair's online check-in reflects this, with an additional step for UK passport-holders. After filling in important details such as date of birth and passport number, travellers will be required to read the following passage: "I understand that if I am using a British passport to travel to the EU, my passport must be valid for at least three months from the date I intend to leave the EU (excluding Ireland), and my passport should be issued within the previous 10 years upon the date I arrive into the EU (excluding Ireland)", before ticking a box to confirm. If you arrive at the airport with a passport that doesn't meet the correct requirements, you won't be able to fly. And it's unlikely your travel insurance will pay out, either. Those planning a trip abroad should check their passport details well in advance to avoid any last-minute rushes, as it can take a few weeks to renew a passport. His Majesty's (HM) Passport Office suggests that the process of a new or replacement passport currently takes about three weeks. It could take longer, though, "if we need more information, or we need to interview you". In such instances, the Passport Office said it will contact applicants directly. As of April 10, 2025, fees for a new or replacement adult passport (for someone aged 16 or over) are set at £94.50 for online applications, and £107 for paper submissions. For children, the fees are £61.50 and £74 respectively. If you require a passport urgently, you can use the Premium Service (one day), but this will cost you £222 for an adult passport, or £189 for a child's.

The best holidays to book for March 2025, from Puglia's coastline to Moroccan adventures
When spring finally arrives in March, make the most of the longer days of sunshine with a welcome change of scenery. Easter isn't for another month yet, so prices should remain stable. Keen hikers will want to head to southern Italy for pleasantly mild days along the Adriatic's coastal paths, while skiers in France can head to quieter slopes now that the February half-term crowds have gone. Soak up the sunshine in Tenerife, where you can hike Spain 's highest mountain or just relax on an Atlantic beach. Mix the mountains and deserts of Morocco with a spell in Marrakech. Stay closer to home and roam the hills of the Peak District, or revel in the sea breezes of the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. Whatever type of holiday you're planning for March, you'll find some ideas here. Italy Southern Italy's Puglia region can be blisteringly hot in the summer, but hikers who want to explore this part of the Adriatic coast will find March's mid-teens temperatures much more pleasant. Ramble Worldwide has a four-night self-guided walk along Puglia's coastal trail from Otranto to Gagliano del Capo, through orange orchards and olive groves amid the scent of spring blossom, and with sea views stretching to the Albanian mountain on the other side of the Adriatic. Then you're transferred to the baroque town of Lecce for a final day of cultural exploration. Prices start at £599pp and include breakfast, one dinner, transfers and luggage transport, but not flights. France Many skiers love March's longer days and slightly milder temperatures. Samoëns in Haute Savoie's Grand Massif ski domain – the fourth largest in France – is full of village charm, great restaurants and food shops. Plus, it's on the doorstep of 265km of pistes. Peak Retreats has a week's self-catering at La Résidence Club Samoëns Village on 29 March from £1,210, including a free FlexiPlus upgrade on Le Shuttle. The residence's wellness centre has an indoor and outdoor pool, and there's a packed schedule of events for children. Book before 5 February for a 15 per cent discount. Peak District Springtime walks in the Peak District and a village pub within 500 yards make a pretty good combination. Bosing Barn in the tiny village of Kniveton north of Ashbourne is an appealing base for a family or two couples (plus dog). High beamed ceilings, a wood-burning stove, exposed stone walls and oak floors make everything cosy, and it's all done with great style. If there's a hint of springtime warmth in the air, use the barbecue on the large patio outside. Available through Peak Cottages, it costs £669, down from £737, for a week's self-catering from 10 March. Morocco Spring is a good time to visit Morocco, before the heat becomes oppressive. On this four-day Desert with the Nomads tour with Fleewinter, you start in the High Atlas before carrying on to the Draa Valley with the chance to camp in the desert and drive across Lake Iriqi, perhaps going on a camel ride and quad bike tour of the dunes. Prices start at £550pp and include breakfast and transfers. Flights are extra, and you can top and tail the holiday with a stay in Marrakech. Tenerife It's carnival season in Tenerife, which can make finding accommodation tricky. The main carnival in Santa Cruz continues until 9 March, with more festivities going on in Los Gigantes and Puerto de la Cruz. Come after the carnival for a more laid-back experience, especially in one of the Villas Coral La Quinta, a short drive from Puerto de la Cruz. They all have three bedrooms and private pools, and a week's self-catering with Cachet Travel departing 21 March costs from £1,948pp based on two sharing, or £998pp based on six. The price includes flights and car hire. Wales If you fancy doing a bit of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, then stay at one of the former lighthouse keepers' cottages at the tip of St Ann's Head. Number 1 cottage has three bedrooms, a wood burner, an Aga and a large patio with a pizza oven, barbecue and panoramic sea views. Booked through Wales Cottage Holidays, it costs from £703 for seven nights' self-catering, and up to two dogs are welcome at an extra charge.
