Has anyone heard of or used this website to book flights? I found them through a search and they are very cheap. I emailed them and got a quick reply but you know what they say about if it seems too good to be true? Thanks for any input

Changed email address but airline sent details about scheduled change to old email address
Hi, I am hoping someone might be able to advise me about this situation. I booked a Ryanair flight with an email address that I became locked out of. I changed my email with Ryanair months before my flight with them. However, they did not email my new email address but my old one which meant I wasn't made aware that the…

AVIOS points for M+S food on British Airways
Hi all I recently booked a flight with British Airways. I've never flown with them before. I was awarded 478 Avios points and 15 Tier points... I largely ignored these at the time of booking thinking they wouldn't be worth worrying about. But I'm just wondering now if I might be able to use them for food onboaord, or even…

GBP - Euro before or after next PM?
I am going away in August and the pound is currently very low, I'm wondering if should I buy Euros now or after the next Prime Minister is revealed on July 23rd? I know its a bit of a crystal ball situation and the pound will probably stay weak until Brexit but I have read that if Boris wins (Brexiteer) the pound "may"…

$120 to return lost phone
Some time ago I read about rail companies and airlines charging people for the return of lost item. I recently flew with Air Canada, from Las Vegas to Montreal and then from Montreal to Heathrow. When I got to Montreal I went through immigration and security and then realised I'd left my phone in the seat pocket in front…

American Express Travel (agency)
I've spotted that American Express has their own travel agency, and, though I wouldn't consider it if self-directed bookings were significantly cheaper, I like that I earn 3x as many points for any spend through their agency. All information I find on Google is America-focused; is there anyone here (UK-based) who has had…

Alkaline AA batteries on flight
Hi. Apologies if this has been asked recently. I did a quick search, but wasn't able to find much info. I'm flying from Birmingham with Jet2 next week and have a question about Alkaline AA batteries.

I’m off on holiday to the states at the end of November. Does anyone think it could be worth buying USD now in advance before any kind of brexit possibility of making the GBP drop again.

BA/Tui flights
I know it's not an exact science but would I be right in thinking that flights would be cheapest when they're first released, or when BA have a sale? I'm looking for flights to Mexico, in premium economy/WTP in october 2020. Tui already have flights showing for the date but they're really expensive. Thanks for any advice.

U.K. to USA multi stop flights - suitcase
Small query I am flying to DFW for a few days, then flying up to Chicago for more days, flying home from there. LHR/DFW and ORD/LHR are fine for suitcase going in the hold for free but I think DFW/ORD will need paying for to go in the hold, if it does, I’d like to pay upfront, rather than bother at the airport but was not…

Faro car hire
Any recommendations or warnings for Faro car hire companies? Want to collect the car from the terminus (not shuttle bus) and take it to Spain for a couple of days too. I'd prefer to pay more rather than get stuffed by the small print or end up with an old banger. Any advice would be very gratefully appreciated!! Thank you!

BA Codeshare with AA?
OK, if I book a flight on BA website, its coming up as an American Airlines booking, albeit on a BA flight anyway.

Reason is wife has mobility issues and BA are usually very good at sorting out seat assignments. Not…

Hire car fuel - caught out?
We hired a car in Mallorca with the fuel clause as full to full. When we picked up the car we checked everything, took photos of scratches etc. But didn’t notice that the tank was only a quarter full. Feeling very silly at present.

Turkish Airlines - any good?
We have booked our hotel for a week's holiday in Antalya, Turkey and currently looking for flights. Most of the flights are either really late at night going out or morning hours coming back, so we would effectively lose 2 days of our holiday. We have found reasonable flight times with Turkish Airlines, and will be paying…
