Easyjet Flight Cancellation
I was supposed to be returning from Sharm in Egypt last Sunday night to Gatwick. It was only when I got there I saw an airport rep who was trying to deal with the news that Easyjet had cancelled the flight. She didn’t have much to say apart from this. No Easyjet rep turned up, no vouchers, no direction. I just got an email…

Speeding fine
Hi. I’ve received a speeding fine this morning from Spain where I was on holiday in June. I was driving a hire car, the letter is from the ‘Ministerio Del Interior’ not the hire company. 109 km/h in an 80 zone. My question is, where do I stand with this? Can they enforce it? If I don’t pay what can they do? Thanks

Are package holidays worth it?
Never booked a package holiday before - always done separate flight and accommodation. Are they worth it? And is it still worth it if you're booking alone, or are the savings in booking for 2+ people? Thanks.
