MSE News - Bristol Airport drop-off charges. Not complete info
The latest news article on airport drop-offs implies that these charges is a money-making exercise. When I was here a few weeks ago, the signage made it clear that the money raised goes directly to carbon-offsetting all the car journeys made to the airport. I'm not saying this is right or wrong, and arguably electric car…

comparison website. Adding baggage brought it up to £279. Then
when I got to payment, I had a nasty surprise: after slowing me…

I've got a couple of Easyjet flights which were booked by a travel agent. I put the code into their app and the flights now show up in the app but not in my Easyjet account when viewed via their website. I'd have thought the two would be the same but it seems not. Maybe they're working on their systems to process all the…

Just made a booking (Ryanair flights) through KIWI.com. I put in my passport details and accidentally typed in the year of expiry as 2024 not 2023.

I reserved a hire car back in January for Crete for next week, also paying for an additional driver. Today I was invited to ‘check in’ in advance for this car hire using Quickpass.

Having just seen the MSE warning that paper £50 and £20 notes will soon be unusable - only polymer will be legal tender -- I have wondered about other currencies; surely it is not only British notes that can get forged? I have a a few hundred pounds worth of US dollars, Swiss francs and Euros, not converted back after…
