The trip promises a break.
Travelers to the UK can experience the “convenience” of a digital travel authorization that can get stuck in processing. The ETA, which costs 20 British pounds, is linked electronically to a traveler’s passport and is required before boarding transportation to the UK. Some travelers have reported error messages and delays in obtaining the authorization, making it a great addition to the “authentic” UK travel experience.
And, of course, the best part of the trip is the uncertainty of whether you’ll actually make it to your destination.
