Passport worry
Hello I am going to Egypt soon and I applied for an Egyptian Visa. However, they said they could not read the signature on my passport so my dad said go over the signature which was previously signed on black ink with a more legible signature.

Booking.com hosts don't seem to reply to queries?
I have used Booking.com happily in the past but often find that if I have a query that I want to check on in advance of booking/paying, hosts rarely if ever reply. This is in contrast to AirBnB where hosts ttend to be very responsive (but it's often more costly for single night stays). Has anybody else found this problem…

European grand tour by train
Now that I'm retired I would like to do a few of the things I promised myself, one of which is a grand tour of Europe in the footsteps of the Victorians.

Wizz Air Cancelled Flights - No rerouting??
My flights for 19 people from PMI-LTN in June have been cancelled by Wizz Air. The call centre this morning said that they cannot reroute the flights (new flights with a different airline), it's only a refund and then a subsequent claim back, is that correct?
