Car rental in Sardinia - low cost operators a bad idea?
We need to rent a car from Olbia airport for 10 days in September, and have been scanning the price comparison sites recommended on the MSE site. Obviously the best prices (by far) are from companies that I've never heard of (B-Rent, Surprice, Felirent, etc), and those companies typically get universal 1 star "scammer"…

Turkey - Obtaining Cash
I’m travelling to Turkey later in the year, first time in 25 years so no doubt things have changed considerably. As a user of UK bank products that eliminate foreign transaction fees, I’m getting the impression obtaining Turkish cash can result in other fees being charged. Other than hotels, are credit cards now widely…

Denmark charging extra card fees
Just got back from Denmark, where almost every card payment (using Chase and Halifax clarity) incurred a mysterious added fee of a few per cent, even when choosing to pay in Euros. I asked the sellers and they said it's not us, it's from your bank.. it's not mentioned separately on the card statement. Since then I've spent…

How do I get a Cancellation Invoice from Aer Lingus
We were due to fly return to Aer Lingus last week but I cancelled the flights back in April due to my husband's illness and he'd been advised not to fly. Despite trying to communicate with them in many different ways, they still haven't sent me a Cancellation Invoice so I can't claim the travel insurance. When they have…

Ryanair fines
Dear all, I wonder if anyone can give me guidance with a recent problem I've had with Ryanair. Also, this post might help others avoid a fine that I've had to pay. I will try to keep this brief. I have read a number of article, including here on MSE's site which have been helpful, but don't deal with my exact…

Easyjet hold luggage for inbound only?
For a return flight Easyjet doesn't seem to allow hold luggage only for the inbound (or outbound) flight. Is this still correct? The booking pages are so full of details and pictures that spotting policy changes is not always possible. Ryanair does it but it took me a while to spot it. Thanks very much.

Putting credit card in credit to get fee free cash withdrawls
About 10 years ago I added cash to my credit card account to put the balance in credit. The card gives me near enough the spot rate. I was pleasantly surprised no fees were levied, can you still do this?

Will travel insurance payout for 37+ week pregnancy?
I booked flights only with TUI for myself, son, DIL and grandchild. My DIL got pregnant after I'd booked and she'll be 37+ weeks by the time of the flight. TUI will not refund or offer any change of date and their policy rules are very clear and understandable. My travel insurance is attached to my bank account and I have…

Halifax Clarity Credit Card
I have used this card for many years while abroad. It's the best card moneywise, but it's totally useless as they just suspend your card for no reason.Australia - Halifax suspended my card (and my friends at the same time). I had a heated call for over 30 mins for them stating it was the vendors fault, utter rubbish!!!New…

Claims Advice
Hi, In a last ditch attempt I thought I'd ask here in case someone knows a route for us. We purchased flights through Ryanair to fly to France before finding out my wife was pregnant. Alas, pregnancy complications have ensued and as a result she has been deemed unfit to fly. We have spoken with the Travel Insurance…

Does car hire excess insurance cover the excess on 3rd party repairs?
I am hoping that someone has experience of whether car hire excess insurance covers the excess in the event of a collision with another vehicle. I am trying to compare car hire excess policies but not able to easily confirm this. I have not had such a collision but this does not ever seem to be mentioned in discussion…

Air India
I have a flight booked from Oman with air India next month. Both aircrafts will be the 737's. Seeing how their Dreamliner crashed, I do not wish to fly with them. Perhaps it was either pilot error or lack of proper mainteanace. The fare is £95 non-refundable. If I cancel, I get only £15 back.Should I do a chargeback /…

Missed flight
I am really getting old!!! I was supposed to fly out yesterday with Emirates but for some reason thought my flight is today. My travel agent said that rebooking fee is more than half what I paid. If I cancel, I will only get £35 back. My return flight in a few week's time will also be cancelled as I was a no show. Can I…

No show No refund policy
I booked a flight with easyJet and at the same time added a hire car. I didn’t notice that the collection time was before the flight arrived, it must have been system generated. I did however register with the hire company in advance in response to their email. When I turned up at the Alamo desk I was told that the car had…

I'm in a bit of a conundrum and not sure what to do 😅 We are looking to go on a family holiday to Zell am See in Austria next year. There's reasons why we specifically want to do Zell am See rather than anywhere else in Austria. We can only go on holiday in term time cos of my job (work in a college). Flights to Austria…

that this had happened.…
