I need to go to Barcelona and take Bus 46 from the airport T1. Is it quicker for me to take the airport shuttle bus from T1 to T2 and then take bus 46. Or is it better for me to just take Bus 46 from T1? Many thanks!

My MIL is going on a cruise in June with my wife, she’s 82 (MIL not my wife) we have annual cover for the 2 of us but my MIL will only be going on this one holiday. If she gets cover now for the 7 night duration in June and she becomes unable to go, say in March, is she covered for not…

A prescription for a regular antibiotic like amoxycilin doesn't mean that I have a…

Ryanair seems to collect even more personal data than before
Booked a flight with Ryanair. Now instead of providing my passport number they seem to want my signature, a photo of my passport via web cam (not even jpeg) and of course extra payment. Is there a way to avoid going through those shiny new hoops?

Credit card ATM withdrawal interest.
I have a Halifax Clarity CC that, when I got it some years ago, didn't charge interest for ATM withdrawals if the balance was repaid in full in the correct time period. The MSE states that interest is now charged on withdrawals even when the balance is paid in full. What does this actually mean? If I pre-load my card with…

Sending courier to collect item left at hotel
Any suggestions for a service to collect an item left at a hotel and return it to me in the UK? It's in South Africa, so I don't suppose will be that cheap, but the item is valuable. It contains lithium batteries so I suppose that could be an issue. Maybe just DHL? Thanks
