Teesside International Airport - an absolute gem of a place to fly from
By a long shot, Teesside International Airport is the best airport that I've used for many years. It's absolutely tiny and the number of destinations that it services are limited, but if it fits your criteria, then give it a go ! Friendly people, flawless service, carparking just outside the terminal building, quality food…

Rights of sat next to someone with COVID
Bit of a hypothetical but this might come up so I want to know my rights in advance. Most countries allow people to fly without a COVID test now, just a vaccination certificate.

Eurostar booking issues: any suggestions?
I want to book some Eurostar tickets in March. I've tried different browsers, different credit cards, at different times. And it just doesn't work.
