ESTA scam site

AHC after the April 2026 rule change — the 3 dates that can void your certificate
The 3 dates that catch people out and can void a £200 AHC if done in the wrong order: - Rabies vaccination (or booster) — then a minimum 21-day wait before the AHC can be issued. - The AHC itself has to be issued within 10 days of travel — book it too early and it's void by the time you go. - Travelling with a dog,…

Heathrow Terminal 4 Car Park closure: New Priority Pickup Lane
Good evening, all. I always find Airport pick-ups particularly stressful! Where do I have to stand? Now the Terminal 4 Car Park is closed, the Taxi driver will probably not like to meet me anymore at a certain Coffee Shop in Arrivals, as it would mean he has to use a Park and Ride System. The Heathrow site has only given…

Closing of " Beat my quote "

Opodo - how to contact them?
Anyone know Opodo's address, or UK office phone number? Or HQ? In Google it is 26-28 Hammersmith Grove, London, W6 7BA, but when I wrote to them there, I got a message to say they were no longer there. I need to send them a legal letter, as I have not received the refund they received, on my behalf, from an airline. After…

EES role out
I have looked at this forum and other websites to see if there is a definitive answer and I have yet to find one.

Each time I tell them it has already been done, but they…

Opinions on EasyJet abta case and arbitration
Hi, I went on holiday in mid-end April 2026 with 4 other members of my family, for which we paid approx.£1200 each for 7 days in a 5 star hotel(with breakfast) in Cyprus.

Risks of Flying to a Long Haul Destination on one Airline and back with another
Hi MSE minds, As above, I'm heading back to Australia to see family and am considering going out on Emirates and back on Singapore Airlines. Are their major risks with this approach? I'll have insurance in place. I can see maybe a cancellation of the flight out would mean I'd be there for less time and may have to rebook.…

Holiday insurance
I'm with Staysure holiday insurance. They have been really good so far. I was lucky enough to reduce my likelihood of illness. However, they've given me a £75 voucher on next renewal instead of a refund. I think I am entitled to the money back. Anybody else had this and got cash back?

Cancel or not?
My doctor has indicated that I should not take a planned trip (see the Lyon airport thread) because the extremely and unusually high temperatures are likely to make my (declared pre-existing) health issues worse. But I suppose that the travel insurers are likely to regard that as unwillingness to travel, and so not…

Duty Free cigarette prices, Glasgow Airport
If any kind soul is passing through GLA World Duty Free - perhaps they could casually enquire as to the cost of 400 x Bensons & Hedges Gold and flag it up here ? For an acquaintance as a favour.
