Ryanair's Goldcar offer
Probably too much to expect a leopard to change its spots but Ryanair does nothing to persuade that it nowadays does genuinely care for its customers when it's assiduously promoting Goldcar as a preferred car hire partner. An email newly landed in my inbox from the airline proclaims: ROLL ON SUMMER! CAR HIRE SALE! with the…

Sainsbury's online travel money *warning*
Hi, I don't normally resort to slating companies off on here but feel I need to offer a warning. I ordered some cash to be delivered to home which was easy and arrived prompt, a good rate as well. BUT. . . It came with 6x 100 euro notes! As well as 6x 50 euro notes! I don't think many bars will be accepting 50's and 100's…

Hertz UK rental - dubious walk up rates with and without zero excess waiver
Hi. I am currently visiting my parents-in-law in the Luton area, and as a result hired a car from Luton airport at walk up rates from Hertz.

Wizz Air to Georgia
Thanks to posters on this forum who alerted me to this spectacular travel bargain. A couple of 'silly' questions... Do I need to print the boarding pass, and also the e-ticket for the bus transfer into town (purchased from their web site)?

Deceptive Baggage charges

Very excitedly she has bought new outfits and gifts for all concerned; this will be a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. To our horror, today when attempting to buy an extra bag allowance on the Air Emirates website it appears we will have…

During the flight, the captain announced thosee passengers…
