Airport parking through Ryanair
I booked airport parking with Ryanair at the same time as my flights. Seamed like a good idea as the price was okay and it'll all together with the same company. However Ryanair changed our flights, they informed us of this and although it had now cost us an extra night accommodation we have accepted the flight change. I…

I thought I had booked it through rentalcars.com for £350 for 4 days in a Ford Galaxy, however, when I turned up at the airport there was no sign of the booking, and I later learned that rentalcars.com had cancelled the booking and not taken any money from me. Enterprise…

I booked two return flights to NY from London total £776 at 5:50pm yesterday. At 12 noon today, I checked the booking and noticed the wrong date outgoing by two…

Metro Bank Current Account now has foreign currency transaction fees
It's very disappointing to note that Metro Bank will be charging 2.99% (+ £1.50 ATM fee) wef 29/8/24.

Empty aircraft returning UK
Something that I have wanted to get a knowledgeable answer on for some time. Some years ago we were on a Thomas Cook package to Santa Eulalia, Ibiza - all went fine. However on the day of the return flight the incoming plane out of Glasgow was about 4 hours (and counting) late. We were resigned to a long delay at IBZ -…

Buying Euros from a UK travel agent - can I use my credit card (Amex)?
Hi will there be any charges if I buy some Euros at my local travel agency? Or is the transaction treated like paying for good and services? I also have a mastercard I could use if that'd avoid any potential fees I'd get using Amex. Failing that I have a chase account. Assuming I'd get cashback on that too? Many thanks

Holiday flights from Newcastle.
Why are we in the north east treated so badly by the holiday companies when it comes to flight time departures and returns. More than anywhere else in the country we are expected to have to leave on 6.am. flights and return in the early hours of the morning. There does appear to be a biased for reasonable timed flights and…
