ABTA Arbitration - do we have a chance?
Hi all, I'd appreciate your opinions on my ABTA case against Jet2 before I pay the £150 arbitration fee. We took our baby on our first family holiday, a 'family-friendly' package that cost £2k but the hotel wasn't as advertised. The main issues are that Jet2's website advertised "2 restaurants" and a "pool with a…

Price increase in Package Holiday
Looking for advice from members more versed in these matters than I am. I normally book my travel separately but checked a package deal yesterday for the 2nd of October 2025. I went back on the site today to book and found the price increased by nearly 500 pounds. This may be a silly question but do these sites track your…

Book Easyjet holiday today or tomorrow?
It seems that you can book July 2026 Easyjet holidays now (even though the flights haven't been officially released yet - which I know means that the times might vary slightly). However, historically does anyone know whether it would be cheaper to book at flight release time tomorrow morning compared to booking it today?

Priority Pass Help
Hi, I have just received an offer for what looks to be a decent discount off Priority Pass access. However, when I delve further into what Priority Pass offers, it appears that you have to pay an extra fee to pre-book airport lounges. Sadly, their website doesn't list what the pre-book fees are - just that it varies based…

Worried about GHIC
Flying to France on Tuesday and suddenly remembered about GHIC cards and now having a panic. We are a party of 5. Four of us had GHIC cards issued in 2023 but can no longer find the card (but do have the confirmation email but that lacks the GHIC number itself). The remaining member has no GHIC at all but will apply today.…

Travel Center - Legit or Scam?
Hi All, I've recently been left an amount of money by my Grandfather who sadly passed away and we decided that we wanted to use it to go on a joint Tanzania safari and Zanzibar trip. After researching various trips I came across a deal offered by Travel Center which appears to be very good value. I've tried looking for…

British passport feels sticky
Hi,.I don't know if it's for the heat of Portugal, but my British passport feels a bit sticky. It's been in a bum bag all the time alongside the EU one, not in contact with water. The EU one is perfectly dry as usual, but the British one feels a bit sticky, especially at the borders. There's no discoloration. Has it…

Airline will only let me book hold luggage at airport, but won't tell me how much it will cost??
In January I booked flights for myself and kids to Peru. I booked carry-on luggage only, on the basis that I would work out how much hold luggage we needed between us and then add it later. Simple enough, I thought. But apparently not! The flights were booked with LatAm airlines, London - Madrid - Lima - Puerto Maldonado.…

Mexico Passport - Duration of Stay OR 180 Days
The GOV website says: "To enter Mexico, your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay." Simple as that, clear as day. The next line then reads: "The Mexican Embassy in the UK recommends passports be valid for at least 180 days because this is the longest you can stay in Mexico as a tourist." ok, so that has now…

Going to Europe in a heatwave - would you go?
I've booked a few days in southern Europe next week. I'm in an apartment with aircon, not a resort, I like to wander around the old town, see some historic sites, maybe a boat trip and long walk along the beach. However the forecast is currently saying it will be up to 42C ("feels like 50C"). Don't think I've ever…

Travel Insurance Exclusions Discriminatory Against Motorcyclists Going Abroad (EU)
I've recently taken a multi-trip policy out with Admiral Travel Insurance. I went platinum cover because it has all the bells and whistles, so I thought. No it doesn't.........It excludes motorcycle travel on anything over 125cc. Who travels the EU from the UK on a 125cc motorbike??? You'd never get your luggage for a 2…
