As a reminder
Due to Brexit, British citizens must not have travelled to the EU (Schengen Zone) in the 90 days previous to departure in order to not break the law and immigration rules. This can help you to calculate this rule. We ask you to do your own calculations on this however and take responsibility for knowing whether you are within Brexit immigration laws. For EU citizens/passport holders you will have no restrictions.
