For clarity I want to avoid going via the USA. I…

Disneyworld and Universal!
Hey everyone, I was wondering. I am off to Florida in April next year and I was wondering, I want access to all parks (so the Disney Ultimate Ticket seems the best to buy before I go) and then there's the Flexiticket Plus for Universal. Both myself and the Fi (or Hubby as he willbe then-if he lets me win this arguement)…

Is going abroad less stressful than it used to be
We stopped going about 10/12 years ago as we seemed to come across so many friends and family that had problems. Flight delays, poor service and accommodation and coming back with usually gyppy tums. I must admit we only had the odd delay, and not too long, but often had gyppy tums even after avoiding salads, ice and such.…

I believe this is common practice in all companies, but is it legal or avoidable? It's not that I'm cheap, but I don't think it is fair…
