Jet2, TUI and easyJet holidaymakers warned of extra fees
Holidaymakers booking with easyJet, TUI, and Jet2holidays in the UK have been warned of potential extra tourism taxes at their destinations, which vary by location, trip length, and travel season. These fees, often payable upon arrival, are not always clearly reflected in the initial holiday price displayed on the booking websites.
The UK’s three largest package holiday providers—easyJet, TUI, and Jet2holidays—are advising travelers that additional tourism taxes may apply to their bookings, potentially increasing the total cost upon arrival. These fees, which depend on the destination, duration of stay, and whether travel occurs during peak season, are typically outlined on the booking websites but are often paid directly at the accommodation. Tourism taxes are mandatory in many destinations and apply to all holidaymakers, regardless of the airline or travel operator used. For example, a holiday priced at £1,000 may include an estimated tourism tax figure, but the final amount could differ slightly based on local regulations. The warning comes as millions of Brits prepare for summer travel in 2026, with these three companies dominating the UK’s package holiday market. Travelers are encouraged to review the fine print on the respective websites—easyJet, TUI, and Jet2holidays—to understand potential extra costs before booking. While the initial price displayed may seem competitive, the actual total cost could rise due to these destination-based fees. The companies emphasize that the taxes are standard across all operators and are not unique to their services. For travelers planning trips abroad, checking the estimated tourism tax figure and confirming its applicability at the destination is advised to avoid unexpected charges upon arrival.
