Price trends for flights going back years
Does anyone know if there is a online historic flight tracker so I can identify what the typical price trends are for particular times of the year. Ideally it would go back years. Prices seem to fluctuate even when coming up to busy times like Christmas. They don't just seem to go up steadily. I'm trying to book a flight…

EU261 and Ryanair re-routing
Dear gurus, I'm struggling with Ryanair customer service and an issue with re-routing. My outbound flight was cancelled by Ryanair "cancelled due to commercial
reasons" The email also stated "You are entitled to be
re-routed to your final destination, under comparable transport conditions" Simple enough you would have…

Travel Insurance for medical only
I wonder if anyone knows of an insurance company that can cover a couple in their 60's for up to 90 days. We only need medical cover (both very healthy) and repatriation for Europe. Not flying, no baggage and nothing pre-booked as travelling in our campervan which is fully covered. Insurance quotes very expensive and cover…

Thanks) My wife and I recently bought a Wowcher short break which we paid on credit card. When the details of the redeemable ‘wowcher’ came…

Barclaycard Reward
I am getting conflicting messages about the cost of Barclaycard Reward use abroad. It seem to be touted in many places (including MSE) as free to use abroad for purchase and ATM cash, but when I log into my Barclaycard account and check (through HELP) it seems I would be charged 2.99% on each purchase/withdrawal. I have…

Travel Insurance - Medical Condition that occurs after Insurance booked
First time post - I am sure this question has been asked before, but can’t find a thread. We have booked a holiday and an annual travel policy. A medical condition has now occurred, after the policy was booked, but before our holiday. The doctors say we are able to travel, however the insurance company want a significant…

Any LeShuttle (Eurotunnel) Discounts?
I have an account, & they said on twitter members would receive Black Friday offers....but I've not seen anything.... Have there been any codes to use on crossings?

Iceland anyone.....
We have been in Iceland for over a week. We were concerned about the volcano prior to travel because of the UK press. In Iceland it barely makes the news and no one is talking about it or is worried about it. Certainly the Blue Lagoon is closed and very sad for the people in the affected town. Apart from that everything is…

Included on the letter was a picture of my number plate. I was in Portugal at that time, but from memory, all tolls were paid for, I checked on the website of Pagamento De…

Value winter holiday.
We've been to Tenerife twice post-covid. Both times in the same decent hotel all-inclusive. The first time, 7 nights in Jan 22 was about £1300 for two, which was a very good deal, designed to draw people back. November 22 was £2200 for 11 nights, same hotel. I'm looking at booking for Nov 23 and am getting priced £2900 for…

River Cruise - strange question, maybe 😊
I have a long list of reasons why I have never fancied going on a big cruise. One reason is because I was told that staff are made to work ridiculous hours and periods of time without ever getting a day off. There is also the suggestion that companies don't register in the EU/UK so that they don't have to adhere to their…

Nike Air Max 95 for holiday walks
Hi you lot. I have worn the Nike Air Max 95 for many years but it seems it's not made for extensive walking or for holiday walking. After extensive walking, I have found myself end up with boils or blisters on my feet. Am I doing something wrong? Should I buy a 0.5 bigger size? I assume, the blisters are due to the…

Beware of Marella Cruises using partner air lines - Ryan Air check in problems
I booked a Marella Canaries cruise via Planet Cruise to save money. I chose a convenient flight which turned out to be Ryan Air. When it came to check in I found you have to do this online with Ryan Air or be charged 55 euros at the airport. Marella's scant information on this just tells you to use the partner airline…

Lost passport! Travel on non-UK one?
My daughter is due to fly to Morocco tomorrow and can't find her UK passport anywhere. She had it about a month ago and has hunted everywhere to no avail. She has an Algerian passport too as her father is Algerian. It states she is an Algerian as that is what they do but shows she was born in the UK. She has always lived…
