Travel enthusiasts looking for a unique vacation destination should consider Jersey, a picturesque island situated in the English Channel between England and France. While it has ties to the British Crown, Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom.
According to the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, a round-trip fare to Jersey is currently priced at $766 for Regular Economy. Booking through American Airlines may yield a better deal, with tickets available for $566 in Basic Economy, and $766 in Regular Economy.
The fare offered by American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, and Iberia includes one checked bag and a regular-sized carry-on for the $766 Regular Economy ticket. In contrast, the $566 Basic Economy fare comes with specific restrictions:
Key Restrictions:
- No advance seat assignments
- Checked bags are not included – fees apply ($75 for the first bag, $100 for the second)
- No changes allowed
- No cancellations permitted – if you cancel after the 24-hour risk-free window, the ticket will not hold any value for future travel
Advise travelers to be vigilant as many online travel agencies may not accurately display Basic Economy fares from these airlines.
For those planning to visit the United Kingdom, it’s important to note that an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will be required starting January 8, 2025. This authorization costs £16 and is valid for two years. Travelers passing through the UK airside do not need an ETA, but anyone who intends to go through border control must obtain one. Be cautious of fraudulent websites that may attempt to charge more than the £16 when applying directly through the UK Government.
