Ticket confirmed but payment not taken
I paid for a flight from South America to London, and it is now "confirmed" according to the airline, but the money hasn't properly left my account. I paid with a credit card, and the amount has been blocked, but there hasn't been a transaction, nor is there a pending one. What's happened to the flight? It's been at least…

Sixt want £1,000 for a scratch, refuse appeal and chasing through courts
Moneysavers: beware Sixt with their excessive damage charges and aggressive legal threats. Last summer I hired a car from Sixt to drive around the narrow Italian mountain roads around Lake Garda. The car I ordered wasn’t there on arrival and I was ‘upgraded’ to a 9-seater impractical mini-bus. During the week I scratched…

Ryanair sold our return tickets!
I'd booked return flights from Stansted to Baden-Baden. We were unable to check-in online due to no signal and no WiFi in our AirBnb so arrived at the airport at around 6am to check-in, almost two hours before the departure time of 7:45am. We had briefly missed online check-in which closed at two hours before the flight so…

Ryanair - queue at airport for boarding pass
Ryanair has come up with something new to encourage people to pay for a selected seat. Choosing a free random seat has resulted in some passengers being refused a digital boarding pass and being told to queue for a paper one at the airport. It is unclear who this affects. It may be the case that this only applies to the…

Please help - Drivalia said car had been damaged
Hi, My wife has just got back from a trip to Pisa, hiring a car with Drivalia who has terrible reviews. I am kicking myself because before she went I asked her about excess insurance such as super CDW, and she said she had bought all the insurance to fully cover her. She naively only had CDW.

Gifting an EU friend a pre-paid card?
My friend has moved from UK to the Eurozone and things are really tight financially. I'd like to send them a pre-paid card of some sort that they can use guilt-free to visit a coffeeshop or other little treat they can't really do any more. Neither of us would feel comfortable me just sending cash/money to their account and…

In late 2022, my family and I took a Wizz Air flight from Gatwick to Budapest which was delayed by around 2 hours and I submitted a claim a few weeks ago. Not unreasonably, the insurer asked…
