WeSwap 2.0 new app and Launch problems
Having been a WeSwap card holder for years it saddens me to say that I am having a complete nightmare with the new app WeSwap 2.0 have launched and now have no access to my money on my account.

Getting a flight refund from British Airways via TravelUp
I booked a flight to Miami via JFK a month ago and British Airways cancelled the second leg, with a replacement requiring me stay in New York overnight. This wasn't practical and so I phoned BA, who (after a lengthy wait on hold) agreed a full refund of £516. I booked a replacement flight in the meantime, thinking I'd get…

Avios Points via the BA shopping site
I'm a little confused on what points can be earned via the BA shopping site.For instance, if you order a meal on Just eat via the BA site, it says you get 1 point per pound. Now, is that on top of the 1.5 points i get using my Amex card? so 2.5 points per pound. As i don't seem to be getting this.Also, if not, whats the…

We have had a Santander Zero card for years and it has been great. It never seems to be listed as one of the preferred cards anymore. Does it still rank up high or is it time to ditch it?

Quick RyanAir bag check-in question
Hi all, does anyone happen to know if there is a dimension limit on the check-in bags e.g. can a 10KG bag be no bigger than 55x40x20cm or is it possible to have a 119x119x81cm bag that only weighs 10kg? Below are screenshots of all the information related to dimensions & weight, but none of it answers that question:

Earlier this year I booked airport parking at East Midlands airport for a date range at the end of March 2022, through Holiday Extras. Recently I got an email from them offering the same car park for the same dates at a reduced price. Naturally, I cancelled the original booking and got a credit voucher which I used to pay…

Does anyone here have any experience with Opodo?
As per the title. I'm looking to book flights with RyanAir for a group including myself and Opodo has consistently come up a lot cheaper compared to any other site. I almost ended up purchasing tickets through them before seeing there was an offer to get some money off if you used their app. So I downloaded the app, but…

Rearranged flight
Hi all, I am not a frequent traveller and am a bit in the dark. We are flying in April and EasyJet have just rearranged our flights. We *were* flying from Luton (Half an hours’ drive)… now it’s from Gatwick. (70 mins) We were due in at the (admittedly obnoxious) time of 23:35; now it’s 1:35, and being over an hour further…

What's the algorithm for British Airways ticket pricing (how price for a flight changes with time)?
Was on the phone with BA booking some flights because of a complication on their website, and the agent told me there were only nine seats at the current price level for my dates, and once those had sold the price would go up (for the next nine seats I presume). This could have been a sales tactic, although I don't think I…

Insurance to cover if airline cancels flight, refunds me, but not enough to pay for alternative.
I'm looking to book a flight to Buenos Aires for next February with BA, but I see BA are currently cancelling all their flights to this destination. It looks like they are selling these flights to get people's money, and then just cancelling them probably a few weeks before to avoid having to pay compensation. Still, I'm…

WizzAir question
We are flying back to UK from FuerteVentra with WizzAir next week. Done online checkin and ended with a boarding card and we have to go to Wizz Air checkin desk at the airport to validate our documents and get our boarding passes. Does this apply to all WizzAir flights? Maybe a covid documentation 'thing'?
