Ryanair flight availability

A question about : Ryanair flight availability

Hi
Just been searching for flights for the end of July from bristol to Alicante with Ryanair the flight times are not great and availability limited...
I have been doing this trip for a couple of years always booking around mid February beginning of March ...
Does anyone know if there will be more flights released? Or is this it as I can't see they have sold all flights for this time already
Thanks in advance

Argus

A question about : Argus

https://www.arguscarhire.com/book?cl...1&NOLOG=1#book
Still struggling with car hire. Has anyone used Argus? It's full to full fuel but I still am not sure about the insurance. It's Ј137 for a week in Majorca which seems reasonable. Decided to buy car seats here and take because they are expensive to hire and Ryan air let you take car seats free ( I think).

Iberia flight pricing error

A question about : Iberia flight pricing error

I'm currently trying to book a couple of flights on the Iberia website, and upon getting to the payment screen, there's an obvious pricing error.

On previous pages the total fare was around the Ђ650 mark (which is what I expected to pay as this adds up), but the final screen states the total at Ђ297, which is completely wrong (and doesn't even cover taxes/charges).

skipping last leg of flight

A question about : skipping last leg of flight

Hello guys!

I got a flight from Luxembourg to new york, as I`m anyway in Luxembourg that time I don`t bother the connection flight to LHR. However, on the way back I will fly from JFK to LHR with a 11 hour stopover in Heathrow, and than continue to LUX. My question now, can I demand to get my luggage checked to Heathrow as its a long stopover? How else can I get around taking the last leg to LUX and just fly to Heathrow?

Airline would change ticket, but for Ј350 on top of the price to LUX.

any ideas?

Exhange sterling for Thai Baht before or after arrival

A question about : Exhange sterling for Thai Baht before or after arrival

Going to Thailand for two weeks next month. I'm aware I probably should wait until arrival in Phucket before exchanging sterling for baht, (likely to be better exchange rates in Phucket). Could someone just confirm this? Would it be sensible to change some money before travelling so I have some baht on arrival? Travel FX is presently offering 47.51 Baht to Ј1.......is this a significant difference to what I would get in Thailand?

  • Sigh, I've been waiting 2 years for Avios to do one of these promotions...
  • They used to do them fairly regularly at one point.
