A quick update from Katy on two things affecting Italy travelers right now: the jet fuel crisis and the new EES biometric entry system, recorded May 12, 2026. Summary: Air France-KLM has raised fuel surcharges twice in five weeks however other airlines are quietly adding costs through baggage and seat selection fees. RyanAir and EasyJet have committed to not raise prices this summer. Katy breaks down what this means for your booking and what your rights are under EU law if your flight is canceled. She also covers the EES rollout, why it has caused missed connections in Rome and Milan, and the one simple thing you can do to avoid the same problem. Not sure where to start?
