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?

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.

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. The paperwork supplied by the hire company says the tank is full at pickup. We have left a…

We have found reasonable flight times with Turkish Airlines, and will be paying…

Euros - when to convert
We had to cancel a holiday to Estonia early this year, for which I had stockpiled some Euros. I'm thinking about reconverting them to pounds, but at the current exchange rate I'm around £50 down. Should I exchange the euros now or wait? I know nothing of exchange rates really, but at a wild guess I would say that if we…

1 euro for £1.23 via a 'moneycorp' foreign currency atm at Stansted?
Ok now you've all nearly died laughing...yes I did fall into the trap of confirming acceptance of this rate, and paid £197.90 for €160 on 18th June. I didnt believe pigs could fly when I saw the rate in front of me, so quickly and almost on auto pilot while in transit I assumed I must have got the exchange rate the wrong…
