Travel is changing fast—and not always in ways travelers expect.
In this episode of Checked Bags and Big Tags, hosts Ilisa Oman and Sean Mouttet break down the new Entry/Exit System (EES) now in effect across the European Union, and what it means for non-EU travelers heading to Europe. From biometric screening to longer arrival times, this is a must-know update before your next international trip.
Then, the hosts react to a controversial travel “tip” aired on a Philadelphia TV station—suggesting travelers use a travel advisor for recommendations and then book on their own-it’s disrespectful to the time, expertise, and value that travel advisors bring to the table.
Plus, with jet fuel shortages tied to ongoing conflict in the Middle East, airlines are starting to feel the strain. Learn how this could impact your travel plans—and what you should do if your flight is delayed or canceled.
And finally… a teaser you won’t want to miss 👀 Ilisa and Sean are working on an unforgettable group experience—a Greek cruise in 2027 that could bring the Checked Bags and Big Tags community together for the trip of a lifetime.
Whether you’re planning a European getaway or dreaming about Greece, this episode delivers insight, honesty, and expert advice you can actually use.
