TUI has issued a warning to British passengers about their passports, travel insurance and documents.
The UK's departure from the EU now means that Brits heading to Europe as tourists will be treated as any other non-EU nation. UK citizens making short trips to the EU, EEA or Switzerland can stay without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
However, the Government has said visitors to the UK may be refused entry if it is “clear from their travel history they are seeking to remain in the UK for extended periods or making the UK their home via repeated visits”.

The six-month validity passport rule is also applied by a large share of world countries and states that a passport must be valid for another six months before its holder’s departure for international travel.
According to VisaGuide.World there are 70 countries that have a six month passport rule, while another 41 apply the three month passport validity rule, which means travellers can enter their territory if they have a passport that is valid for at least three more months.
This rule is especially important if you still have a red passport. While thousands of people are still able to use their red passports if they're in date, you must check its expiry date.
Issuing travel advice, TUI said: "From now on, there'll be a few changes to your experience when travelling to Europe, but rest assured, these aren’t as drastic as you might expect.
"If you’re going on holiday to a country in either the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you need to make sure you check there’s enough time on your passport, note that it could take as long as 10 weeks to renew your passport, have adequate travel insurance and check that you've got the correct driving documents, if you’re hiring a car."
