Hi I’m needing £200 worth of Thai Bhat after discovering most Thai cafes etc are cash only (except our hotel). I have a Halifax clarity card and Santander 123 lite debit card. Which one would be less expensive for drawing £200 worth of Thai Bhat? Thx

I've just had a holiday in Vietnam. During the holiday we booked domestic flights with VietJet Air through a UK travel company called MyTrip. The flights were on 01/03/2023 at 11:10am. A week before the flight, I received notification that the flight had been changed to 06:40am. This was inconvenient for us, so I sought to…

My 14 year old daughter is going to South Korea in August for the World Scout Jamboree, she obviously doesn’t want to take large amounts of cash. Can anyone recommend a bank card or travel money card that she would be able to use over there. Also any recommendations for mobile phone sims?Thanks.

During the BA January 2023 sales earlier this year they had some "self admitted" IT problems when I phoned them, due to large demand on the website. If you have booked a flight with a companion voucher then, double check it has been "used". I saw on my account that it was still there and they had charged me more AVIOS…

Hello, Can anyone help me? Before I bought my flight from London to South Africa via Rwanda, I called RwandaAir and they told me that if I wanted to change the return date I would just have to pay a small fee and then the cost of any difference between the date I want to fly and the date on the ticket. I then bought a…

A friend and I were stuck in Lisbon earlier this week when Bristol airport was closed due to the snow and easyjet had to cancel the flight. I approved an alternative pair of flights that their app suggested (Lisbon-Edinburgh-Bristol a day later) I appreciate that it wasn't easyjet's fault and I'm not looking for any…

My 14year old child is going on a School trip to France. Is there such a thing as a pre-paid card for under 18s with near perfect exchange rates? It's not something I can easily find searching online Thanks

Due to some bad news my brother and his wife were unable to fly to New York with the rest of the family on a recent trip. It was too late to change the booking and was non refundable. They may be able to claim part of the trip back through insurance but I assumed they would get the tax back on the flights. I have…

I am planning a long-haul journey. The best way to begin it is with a cheap Ryanair flight from my local airport to Malaga, scheduled to arrive just over five hours before my long-haul departure. This should work well, but.. Ryanair do not fly this route very frequently. Another airline has a flight to Malaga that would…

I wondered if anyone knows when either British Airways or Virgin Atlantic are likely to have their next sale :) As I am hoping to be able to go to USA and spend Christmas visiting my family. Thank you

We've seen a TUI offer to Mallorca which would suit us - but the flights are by Alba Star.Has anybody flown with this outfit before ?Would appreciate any experiences please.

We wanted flights to Fuerteventura for Christmas and thought we had a bargain booking at 6.45 - but by the time I got to pay the price had increased by over £200 and the selected seats were gone so I had to rebook and guess what they had gone up again…ended up paying £755 for two seats admittedly with extra legroom and two…

I'm planning a small wedding in Italy in September this year and my family and friends have been booking flights to Bologna. My family of 9 booked Easyjet flights in January and since their booking the price of those flights have wildly increased. My family paid under £200 each, now the flights are nearly £500 each. I've…

Hi We booked flights with Vueling which they changed to. Non direct flight which we didn't accept as have a child to travel with. Process was simple we are due a refund. However roll on 6 weeks later and the portal for refunds will not accept my swift code. I cannot speak to anyone as none of their phone numbers go through…

Hi everyone, We have booked 2 return flights from Bangkok to Manchester with Qatar Airways. I've just had an email informing me that the initial flight from Bangkok to Doha has been moved from 7pm in the evening to 6.50am same day, with the ongoing flight being at the same time as previous. The total transit time is now 27…

Hi all, Trying to book flights to NZ through Air NZ. (£7.5k) I want to put some of it on cc for protection with the majority on dd. The site only gives the option to pay on one card. My cc limit is nowhere near enough, and to pay over the phone is £2k more! I've tried to up my cc limit but that still wasn't high enough to…

Hi all, I can't seem to find an answer to this and hoping you can help! I thought it might be a simple question, but I can't get the right information to help me! My partner and I have just booked a huge trip to Canada in the summer. We've put all the flights (including internal Canadian ones) on the credit card. If we pay…

I have been trying since before Christmas to contact Lufthansa Customer Services because I had flights booked with them to Fort Myers and the area was hit by Hurricane Ian and my accommodation was flooded so not available. I have travel insurance and they want Lufthansa to confirm that I did not fly. They simply do not…
