Cheap travel destinations in Europe
Hi everyone, I am looking for cheap travel destinations within Europe. Since I save and invest a lot, I'd like some suggestions so that I can plan my holidays in advance for next year. I am looking for destinations that are particularly cheap to reach from Germany, as I've been living here for a few years. Thanks!

Hi, I’m due to fly out with my wife and three year old son tomorrow morning for a wedding and we have just found out that our hotel was only booked for 7 nights whilst we had booked with jet2 the holiday for 11 nights and had paid the full amount.

Would you book for Thailand?
A number of people have been killed in fighting between Thailand and Cambodia. Since a full-scale war seems to be possible, would you make a booking for Thailand now? If you already have plans to go there, would you cancel or change your plans?

France - Bringing back wine
Hi everyone Getting ferry to St Malo in a few weeks, and plan to maximise my allowance of wine to bring back (18l per person). I know there are duty free shops on board, but I assume it's cheaper to just buy from a local supermarket, which isn't then duty free? Any tips appreciated. Thanks Luke

P&O
A few weeks back my hubby was refused embarkation at Southampton, stated his passport had expired. We were totally unaware of the EU ruling following bexit. ie 10 years from issue date. Please don't just say we should have known, we know that now. However, my anger with P&O is that they had accepted all his details on…

Hello, I am flying back to the UK on Monday. I'm a dual national - British and Finnish. I have for years and years travelled around Europe with just my Finnish passport and this trip was no different - my UK passport is in the UK and I'm in the EU.

BA won't refund Passenger Air Duty
I recently had to cancel a couple of flights. After navigating my way through the atrocious BA web site, I finally managed to raise a claim for refund of Passenger Air Duty. I got back a standard email acknowledgement but nothing further (and no refund). I then emailed the BA CEO - no response at all. Truly rubbish…

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…

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…

Flying to France on Tuesday and suddenly remembered about GHIC cards and now having a panic. We are a party of 5.
