o2 Mobile Phone advice in America
Hi, with o2 I don't have roaming and would rather not spend £6 per day to use the phone as I'd be looking at over £60 which feels obscene. Is there a cheap way to use a mobile over in Las Vegas?

easyJet cancels flight. Moved to one that is selling for less. Entitled to refund of the difference?
easyJet cancelled our late afternoon PMI-LGW flight and moved us to an early morning one.

Curtailment of holiday
Good Morning, We had a 10 day holiday to Sicily and were flown back 6 days early. Jet2 have offered us 30% refund of the unused nights of the hotel.

Me and my cousin booked a holiday with budgetair (yep should have fully researched them) and they got an email: I haven't received anything although our dates are slightly different but same airline.

Sun cream cheaper abroad?
Hi, I was just wondering if it is worth waiting and buying sun cream in Spain, rather than buying it here and paying all the VAT that is applied. With fair skinned husband and kids we will be needing lots at a high factor (they wear factor 50 most of the summer in the uk). I’ll take one so we can get going on the first day…
