Visa for Cuba
Just booked for February. I was advised to use a company which charges about £100 per person. I have looked on line and it is far cheaper to do it myself. I would like to know if it is easy to do or should I be using the recommended company? Thanks.
Rented a car - missed some damage - need help disputing fee
Hi All, I recently rented a car when abroad for a week. When I got the car me and the guy walked around the car and noted all the little scratches and things on the forms and we both signed it. I stupidly did not take any photos/videos at the time. I drove it for a week. Took good care. Had a lot of fun. Took it back and…
Should I book or wait...
Looking at flights to Orlando next August. Can currently get a flight out direct for £270 each (3 travellers) but flights back seem to not be properly released yet (very expensive even for indirect). Should I book the flights out now and wait or wait until both legs are fully available? As well as the usual carriers I have…
The £25 Dover to Calais ferry deal
I've booked this for next Friday but won't be using the return portion (I'm volunteering long term in the refugee camps). It was still obviously by far the cheapest deal around. Someone has raised a red flag by saying that I might be 'charged a surcharge' by not using the return portion. I've read through Ts and Cs and…
Australian Visa
I hope this is the correct part of the forum and that someone can help. My son is due to go to Australia shortly with work. They have offices in Australia and need him to go over to do some work for 3 weeks. He enquired with an agency to see if he needed a visa and was told he needed a sub class 400 visa which he applied…
15kg baggage allowance for 2wks in Winter on North India tour
Hi. In spite of having a two bag, 20kg each bag, baggage allowance to and from Delhi, a one hour internal flight toward the end of the two week tour has a 15kg limit. January can be quite cold and quite hot, both on the same day, so I will need both warm and cool clothing. I can carry 7kg as hand luggage too. I only stay…

UK Christmas Breaks.
I am looking for a Christmas package break in the UK, preferably in Yorkshire or the East of England. Has anyone done this before? Self and wife, 70 & 69, both with mobility problems. (Not wheelchairs, walking difficulties) Ideally we would like to be able to travel via coach to the venue, at least 3 nights, hopefully 4,…
Where would you go on holiday on Saturday?
I'd like to go away this Saturday. There would be two adults, ideally flying from Birmingham. I'd like somewhere sunny but the other adult isn't too bothered, is rather interested in Austria or Italy at the moment. Greece and Turkey are out of the question due to insurance limitations. He won't do a noisy, high-rise type…
