Am I right to think that Thomas Cook will convert euro coins (€1 and €2s) back to £s? I think I remember reading it somewhere, but am not 100%. If not, apart from selling to a friend/relative, does anyone else accept them? Thanks.

What's the flight site that shows you a bar chart price for the month?

We're going on a ski trip. Apparently, if we use our ski bag as a piece of luggage - instead of being in addition to our luggage - British Airways will count it as part of our free allowance.
