CHECK YOUR PASSPORT’S EXPIRATION DATE! Passports are required for travel to Europe from the US. For visits to the UK, your passport must be valid for at least six months after your arrival. If your passport is expired or will expire prior to April 2025, be sure to renew your passport soon. The State Department has a backlog of millions of passports and renewal can take several months. Play it safe and start your renewal process early!

Beginning in 2025 (this date was originally 2024, but appears to have been delayed), thirty European countries will implement a travel authorization requirement for US citizens. ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) requires that US travelers complete an online application at least 96 hours prior to travel (whether visiting or transiting), and requires that you submit personal information, passport information, and background information. The submission fee is currently 7 Euros (no charge for applicants under 18 or over 70 years of age).

At the present time, we are unaware of any such plan for the UK. However, if you are planning to extend your London trip to visit other countries, will be transiting other countries, or plan travel to Europe in 2025, you need to be aware of this upcoming change.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU OBTAIN INSURANCE THAT WILL COVER THE COST OF TRAVEL, HOTEL, PREPAID EVENTS, AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE EVENT YOUR CONVENTION PLANS ARE DISRUPTED. Regardless of reason for the cancellation, World Wings can reimburse you only under the terms stated in the cancellation policy. Contact your insurance or travel agent for assistance.

YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CONFIRMED ONLY AFTER YOUR FULL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.
If space becomes available, you will be cleared from the WAIT LIST and will receive an invoice via email. Payment is due in full upon receipt of invoice.

Holding a WWI convention is similar to holding three weddings on three consecutive days. World Wings is under contract with the hotel to fill a minimum number of guest rooms. Please do not stay elsewhere. WWI contracts for, and must pay in advance for, meeting space, venues, transportation, food, staffing, and entertainment for all events. Please note that your convention registration is not guaranteed until paid in full, and that event payments will only be refunded according to the following schedule.

The Leonardo Royal Hotel London City

London’s temperature in September averages a high of 67° F and a low of 55° F. The season can be somewhat chilly and rain is always a possibility.
Take a medium-weight coat and carry an umbrella whenever you go out.
Sensible footwear is highly recommended. Many of the streets and walkways in the area of the hotel are cobblestone.
The days are becoming shorter at this time of year, with the sun setting before 7 PM. Be sure to allow sufficient time to see the city’s attractions before night sets in.

 
The Old Hall dates back to 1489. It was extensively renovated during the reign of Queen Mary, and reopened in 1928.

Thursday, September 19
Pre-Convention Excursion Day Trip to Windsor Castle
Take a mini-coach to Windsor Castle, where you will be able to explore the many highlights. As it is a residence for working Royals, guided tours are not permitted with the castle rooms, but audio guides are available.
