UK Ferry Tickets

The issue of whether or not it’s acceptable for parents to take their children on holiday at the expense of school lessons is already one of the most controversial topics of the year.
Personally, I never take holiday during July and August. I don’t have children, so naturally I want to avoid the peak periods when [...]

No-frills airlines have been a wonderful invention.
Ten years ago, you had to pay £500 to go to the Continent – now it’s often a tenth of the price on a budget carrier.
Who needs a free sandwich and coffee? I’ll happily pay for them at that price and often do use Ryanair, easyJet and the like.
But [...]

Who is your ideal holiday companion? Your wife, husband, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend?
It might surprise you that we actually prefer going away with our friends.
A survey of 2,000 Brits has found that 66 per cent of adults would rather holiday with pals, often without parents, friends or other family members.
Apparently, it’s all about re-igniting old [...]

Identity fraud. Two words to strike joy into the heart of anyone plying their trade on the high street and refusing to get involved in that ‘www nonsense’.
The over-50s, according to recent reports, are getting more concerned about fraud, particularly over the Internet, and are drifting back to traditional shopping habits.
But are we all over-reacting [...]

What makes you go into a shop?
We all use the Internet frequently, but occasionally we have to stretch our legs and see what the high street has to offer.
Maybe it’s an attractive shop window, the offer of a deal or something highly desirable on display.
Personally, I’m put off by posters promising me a massive discount. [...]

What do you do with your pets when you go on holiday?
Apparently, there are 49 million pets in the UK and owners are no longer prepared to put their four-legged friends in the nearest kennel or cattery when they go away.
Pet travel is estimated to grow by six per cent, year-on-year for the next five [...]

How much are you prepared to pay for a hotel room?
On average, we’ll fork out £93 a night, according to new research, which seems a bit steep to me.
In London, of course, we’ll pay more, with the average coming in at £125 and New York is even more expensive. In the big Apple, [...]

The incredible, fully-restored St Pancras International station has opened and (at the time of writing), we have a Eurostar service to be proud of.
I’ve always loved Eurostar and have used it numerous times (and paid for the tickets). Why fly to Paris, when you can sit on the train, relax and arrive in the city [...]

Debauchery, hedonism and 24-hour partying. It says something about our society that these are expected to be long-term holiday trends in the future.
Euromonitor international, the research company, says these types of holidays are becoming increasingly popular in the US, where cities such as Las Vegas are seen as the party capital of the world.
Funny that, [...]

In a recent article, I posed the question about whether passengers travelling in the double bed in the new Airbus A380 aircraft would have to wear seat belts.
To my knowledge that still hasn’t been answered. However, a spokesman for Singapore Airlines has said that it will not allow couples to do what comes naturally in [...]
