Millions of Brits are gearing up to fly away on holiday in the coming weeks, with people advised to read up on the travel rules ahead of their trips.

TUI and Jet2 do share a similar position on when check-in closes, NottinghamshireLive reports.
According to the airlines' websites, online check-in with both closes six hours before the flight is due to depart.
Online check-in closes two hours before departure with easyJet and Ryanair, three hours prior with Wizz Air, and one hour before take-off with British Airways.
TUI passengers are usually able to check in online from either 14 days or 48 hours before your flight, depending on whether you've pre-booked seats or not.
There are exceptions, such as for flights to Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica, where online check-in doesn't open until 24 hours before departure.
And with Jet2, online check-in opens 28 days before the flight, and with easyJet this is 30 days in advance.
Ryanair online check-in opens either 60 days or 24 hours before the scheduled flight departure, depending on whether or not you've paid for an assigned seat.
If you miss the online check-in window, you may still be able to check in at the airport.
Check-in desks for TUI generally close 45 minutes before take-off, while those for Jet2, Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air close 40 minutes before the flight.
If you're flying long-haul with British Airways, desks will close "at least 60 minutes" before departure, or 45 minutes prior if you're flying short-haul.

TSA Just Banned This Popular ID at Airports: 'Sorry'
It's likely that there aren't a lot of people who are going to try to use a Waffle House ID card to board a plane, but you never know. After all, some people tried to use their Costco cards in the place of a REAL ID, so anything is possible. And, it turns out, one person did show off their Waffle House card at an airport, and their post went viral. But the Transportation Security Administration, otherwise known as TSA, says hold on. Of course, TSA's post was also a bit tongue-in-cheek. It all started on X, when the traveler posted a picture of his Waffle House ID card. "TSA might want Real ID, but I have the realest ID," wrote Matthew Cappucci on X. The card was stamped with the words "Waffle House," declaring that its holder is a metereologist. Cappuci's post generated more than 2 million views, so TSA got involved. "Respectfully, no… Waffle House IDs will not suffice as a Real ID alternative (sorry)," TSA wrote on X on June 24, sharing the man's post. People filled up TSA's comment thread. "Respectfully, I trust Waffle House more than the TSA," wrote one person. "People are literally trying to fly with Costco & Waffle House cards. TSA had to come out & say those aren't Real IDs. How are people this stupid?" another person wrote on X. TSA posted about the Costco ID situation too. "We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not," the TSA wrote on X on June 4. "A REAL ID has your address and all of that jazz on it, Costco and Waffle House membership cards do not. No more presenting those to the TSA," another person wrote. TSA has posted a list of acceptable REAL ID alternatives, but they're pretty limited. For example, a passport Just Banned This Popular ID at Airports: 'Sorry' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 28, 2025

How to make ‘workcations' work
Summer is here, and 'workcations,' a blend of business and personal travel, are on the rise. According to data from Engine, a group travel startup, nearly two-thirds (65%) of full-time employed Gen Z workers say they're likely to combine business travel with leisure travel. Also known as 'bleisure,' this trend sees Gen Zers consistently adding extra nights to their work trips. Why? For many, it feels like a free trip. Others say it gives them a chance to visit cities they wouldn't normally travel to (35%), helps them maintain work-life balance (33%), and allows them to recharge and reduce stress (33%). If workcations are here to stay, what makes them successful for both employers and employees? In this article, we share expert and employer insights on how to make workcations work. Be transparent I've combined business travel with family adventures across 60-plus countries, working during the mornings and exploring in the afternoons. My best tip? Be open with your company. I chose roles at global companies because I wanted my family to see the world with me. I told each company up front: 'My kids will travel with me, but it won't conflict with my work.' They were always super supportive. In the end, blending work and travel not only sustained my career—it raised my kids to be fearless, adaptable global citizens. Jenny Dearborn, Chief People Strategy Officer and Talent Insights Practice Leader, BTS Companies may need to establish a formal program Prudential's Work From Anywhere program allows employees to work fully remotely for up to four weeks in the U.S. Recently, three employees utilized our Work From Anywhere program to work from San Diego for two weeks. They stayed together in a short-term rental, connected and collaborated in person, took time off to explore the city, and even used our volunteer PTO to volunteer with a local nonprofit. This is an example of our commitment to flexibility and employee well-being, which is supported through comprehensive benefits and programs. I'm glad that this approach continues to help our people drive great outcomes for our business. Robert Gulliver, Chief Talent & Diversity Officer at Prudential Financial Time-box to make progress My wife and I have been living the nomadic lifestyle for about 10 years now. If you're traveling every few days, it's almost impossible to be truly productive. We stay in each place for at least two weeks, but ideally for one to three months. While it's possible to respond to emails and chats and do other busy work while in transit, I've found that it's crucial to build in workdays while traveling. These are days with zero plans other than work. Or at least, mornings with zero plans. If we're going to explore in the afternoon, I'll block about four hours in the morning to get some work done. I'll spend the first hour responding to emails and any unanswered support questions. Then I'll have three hours to focus on one or more larger projects. Time-boxing allows me to make significant progress in a short amount of time. I know I've only got a few hours, so I work quickly and efficiently. I'm far more productive when I know time is limited, and I use that time much more effectively. Address resources, needs, and unhook The secret to recharging your batteries is ensuring that you fill three specific buckets, referred to as the ReNU buckets. The 'Re' in ReNU stands for resources. To refresh yourself in your leisure time, you need to ensure that you replenish the resources that get depleted at work. The 'N' stands for needs. To get a boost in your leisure time, you need to satisfy your physical need for sleep and your psychological needs, such as the need for autonomy. The 'U' stands for unhooking, which involves psychologically detaching from work. It's not enough to physically leave the office; you must mentally leave the office. Workcations won't be recharging because they don't allow you to fill the ReNU buckets. By continuing to work, you fail to replenish depleted work resources, and are likely to feel just as run down after a workcation as you felt before it. Jamie Gruman, PhD, Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics, University of Guelph Consider embracing a workcation lifestyle Back in 2020, I was seeing my coaching and therapy clients in person, rushing between meetings, navigating packed sidewalks. It was a life I had carefully built. But when the world changed, I realized I was ready for something different. So I packed my laptop and headed west to Utah. Between client sessions, I explored hiking trails instead of crowded streets, soaking in the fresh air and wide-open views. After nine weeks, I decided to sell most of my belongings, let go of my office lease, and drive cross-country. I was thinking, 'Why wait until retirement to live in the places I love?' For the past four years, I've embraced a flexible, minimalist lifestyle while working with clients online. Do I still miss in-person sessions sometimes? Absolutely. But being able to show up fully for my clients and live a life aligned with my values has been an incredible gift. Find accommodations with strong Wi-Fi I help travelers experience both remote adventure and refined comfort across Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. As someone who manages international clients year-round, I find that picking accommodations that are more than just 'Wi-Fi friendly' is essential to a successful workcation. You'll need space, quiet, and reliable backup if you're on video calls when blending work and travel. My top tip for balancing work and exploration is to find a strong hotel Wi-Fi connection. Treat workcations like a rhythm My family and I just returned from two months at sea—all while working remotely and world-schooling our then-6-year-old daughter. My top tip? Having set 'office hours' on sea days helped us maintain structure while still leaving room for the spontaneity and joy of travel. Even better, not having to manage the daily demands of our at-home lifestyle—cooking, cleaning, and laundry, all of which were taken care of on board—gave us a surprising amount of extra free time we hadn't anticipated. Treat workcations like a rhythm, and be willing to make adjustments. By clearly separating time for work, time for exploration, and planning ahead with your clients or team, you can be both present and productive.

Bromley named the happiest place to live in south east London
Bromley has been named as the happiest place to live in south east London. Every year, Rightmove asks thousands of people across Great Britain about their feelings toward where they live, covering factors such as community pride, safety, and overall satisfaction. This year's study was completed by over 35,000 residents, providing a broad and representative picture of local happiness levels across the country. Of the 32 London boroughs and the City of London included in the survey, Bromley ranked sixth, making it the highest-ranked borough in south east London and the fourth across all of south London. Bromley residents may be happy for several reasons, from its abundance of green space to its strong transport links and community feel. Bromley is home to some of south east London's most spacious parks, including High Elms Country Park, Norman Park, and Crystal Palace Park, offering residents plenty of space to walk, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. The borough's suburban layout means many homes come with gardens, driveways, and more breathing room. Families are also drawn to the area for its schools, with well-regarded options such as Newstead Wood and St Olave's Grammar School consistently praised by Ofsted. The borough also has a reputation for its safety, with the Bromley crime rate, which stands at 77.6 crimes per 1,000 residents, is significantly lower than the London average of 104 crimes per 1,000 residents. Despite its peaceful feel, Bromley is far from isolated. Regular National Rail services connect the borough to central London in under 30 minutes, making it a popular base for commuters who want easy access to the city without sacrificing space and greenery. The town centre also offers a lively high street, The Glades shopping centre, and venues like the Churchill Theatre, alongside independent cafés, pubs, and family-owned businesses that give the area a village-like charm. With its mix of nature, connectivity, and community, it's little surprise Bromley was ranked the happiest place to live in south east London. Bexley was named as the unhappiest south east London borough, while Croydon was named as the unhappiest borough in south London as a whole.
