Holiday Planning Help
Hi everyone, I haven't ever been abroad (as an adult) so am at a bit of a loss. I'm looking to go either of the first two weeks of July with my 17 year old son.

Had a complete nightmare today, lost my passport at Gatwick airport. I was due to fly with my partner who is 31 weeks pregnant and my toddler son.

Is annual travel insurance invalidated by a cancer diagnosis?
We took out annual travel insurance in February to cover a short break back then and a potential holiday (fortunately not yet booked) later in the year. However, my wife has just had a routine mammogram - and they found cancer. She has to have a mastectomy. Hopefully we might still be able to have a holiday once she's…

Easyjet flightclub and cabin bag extra charges on moving flight date
Today I found out another appalling way Easyjet has "invented" to charge flightclub clients when they call to change a flight date. When the client does this flight change online, the system charges any flight fee differences plus a flight change fee. This is ok and inline with all published rules. However, one of the main…

Holiday money
Hi Having not been on a family holiday abroad for a few years, I'm just wondering what's the best way to take our spending money with us - GBP, euros, a prepaid card or just take the hit of fees by spending on my debit card? Is it worth opening a separate current account to just use for the holiday? Thanks
