Our 14 year old Son will be travelling from Newark to Manchester (UK) next May to stay with his uncle for a week on Continental. Having not visited England since I left over 20 years ago, I'm sure things have changed. I have some questions which I hope somebody will be kind enough to answer:
1) Once he gets off the plane in Manchester, what does he do...customs, immigration etc.?
2) Will he need a visitor's visa to enter the U.K and stay for a week?
3) How close can his uncle get to customs? Is there any chance the 2 will miss each other?
4) Coming back from Manchester, what are the procedures? Immigration, customs etc? Will his uncle be able to go so far with him?
5) What if he loses his passport?
I'm seriously thinking about springing for the extra $100:00 for the unaccompanied minor fee. Has anybody tried this and does it work? All I and his mom want is piece of mind for us and a great holiday for him.
Thanks in advance;
