What’s this about? This is a special thread where you can ask all the Travel Agents and MoneySavers who frequent this board to beat a holiday quote you have and get personalised replies. The idea is to see if someone can beat a quote for a specific holiday; not just a general price. So you need an exact quote. E.g. "I've…

On Friday 23rd January, my husband and myself both applied for new UK passports. We both sent our old passports back to the Passport Office by Royal Mail First Class Signed For, with proof of delivery (in separate envelopes with different tracking numbers). My application is going smoothly. They have confirmed that my old…

Gold Crest Holidays - Best way to get money back?
As you're likely all aware, Gold Crest Holidays have gone into administration. Their website points to ABTA for getting money back, and ATBA strongly reccomend making a section 75 claim. So right now I'm doing that with HSBC, and already alarm bells are ringing that HSBC are going to fight it (they've noted the wrong day…

Child spending money
My teen (15 years old) is off to Disney Land Paris with school in Feb for 4 days, they can take 75 euros in cash but have been told to take any more on card. So what is the best way to do this? She has a Lloyds current account but I dont think you can add Travel Smart on to it as it is a U19's account. We would probably…

Passport Photos - apps or DIY?
Hello all, All 4 of us (2 adults and 1 child passport renewal and 1 child brand new passport) need new passports, and I was wondering what the cheapest or best option would be for the passport photos? I vaguely remember taking our own photos on my phone for our last passports, but this was over 10 years ago, and I know…

Vacations To Go
Has anyone booked a cruise through this site? It offers discounted fares across a range of cruise lines. The offers are attractive but I'm wary. It's US based and I'm concerned about not having the usual safeguards -ABTA/ATOL etc. Another concern is making a payment to a US company. I did search this site and there was a…

Single trip vs annual cover
Hi, Apologies if this answer is hidden anywhere (i'm unable to locate this). Basically, I'll be taking an overseas trip from 17th July to 16th August (however, the return flight is overnight and so lands on the morning of the 17th August). The trip is 31 days, however if I count the day I land home, it's 32 days. I'm…

Extending backpackers travel insurance
hi, my son has been travelling in Asia for 8 months and has decided he wants to stay another 6 months as he has now qualified as a scuba diving instructor. He took out an initial 8 month single trip policy with LV insurance who have been excellent- he has already claimed for a stolen phone and they paid up quickly. They…

Anybody know the 'grace period' for returning late at APH, Slip End Luton Airport?
As far as I can make out, it's simply 'up to midnight'... which is pretty useless for flights scheduled to land, say. 10pm.

Warning: TravelFX is NOT FCA Authorised – TravelMoneyMax listing appears misleading
I want to flag something important about TravelFX that I think other users should be aware of before using them. I originally chose TravelFX because they appear on the TravelMoneyMax comparison tool and are shown as: That label was a major factor in my decision, as it suggests regulatory oversight and consumer protection.…

TUI changed my flight times
We should be flying to Turkey in June 2026 to the same hotel we stayed at last year. A couple of weeks ago, TUI contacted us to say they were changing our return flight time from 4:55pm to 9:35am which I wasn't too concerned about as we just want to get home on our return day. However, on Friday, I had another email from…

This will be the first time I've ever done any kind of booking like this myself. All the internal travel we've done is basically book a hotel and then train or drive & it's just…

Saga holiday insurance
I have booked my first saga holiday with insurance. I rang to inform them I had a potential new condition having been referred to a consultant for a foot injury. They said the insurance would be cancelled if there was no diagnosis yet. Surely that’s what I took insurance out for - unexpected events? Is this right?

Love Holidays - stressed!
My 18 year son and friends booked a holiday to Zante for June 2026. The bulk of the group booked earlier than my son and 3 friends who booked in October. They paid a deposit of £30. Two of my son’s group can’t afford it now and pulled out. However, as my son is the lead on the booking, he’s now liable for paying their…

Liverpool Airport Parking
Travelling from Liverpool to Fuerteventura for 8 days in May. I always park next to the airport with cheap parking/park smart. But over the last couple of years the costs have soared. It's around £100 no matter what discount code I use. I'm coming back at 2am so don't want to be parking on someone's drive in the area and i…

Travel insurance renewal issue re. pre existing conditions
I have been with Avanti for 2 years and was due to renew this week. I had blocked auto renewal because I wasn't ready to renew. Last year Avanti allowed me to renew without completing the medical form with pre existing conditions all over again. This year I needed to make a couple of minor amendments to the conditions…
