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:

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…

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.
