Really helpful site on Croatia
Just found out you can fly from Edinburgh to Zadar in Croatia direct with the slightly loathsome Ryan Air. Although Ryan Air is the one airline that people frequently say they’ll refuse to fly with, you can’t deny that they’ve opened up a lot of new routes and brought within reach dozens of new destinations [...]
2 Month Luxury Yachting Trip to Asia
Bored with business class? Have lots of time and money? Well, I’ve got an idea for you!
Seabourn is a cruise company that caters for the top end of the market in smaller, more intimate cruise ships. Actually, it prefers to call them ‘yachts’, and to refer to the experience as yachting. With a typical crew [...]
Another hot Malta bargain (this summer)
Summer holidays in the Med can be pretty expensive, especially if you’re going at the peak time of the school holidays. Which is why I was so pleasantly surprised to find some offers for deals to Malta this summer between May and October. Despite that being the peak season, you can still pick up some [...]
There’s always a bargain
I’m always watching the rather brilliant icelolly.com website for good deals – even if I have absolutely no intention of travelling. The deals they offer are somewhat staggering, although a quick flick over to tripadvisor reveals that many of the cheapest deals are in sub-standard hotels. Having said that, for cheap trips to Spain, you [...]
Brilliant new idea from Air New Zealand
Economy can be terribly uncomfortable – particularly on very long journeys. With that in mind, Air New Zealand (which runs some of the longest flights in the world) has launched a new product in their 777-300 aircraft. The way it works is to offer a couple the chance to buy three seats instead of two. [...]
Round The World in Business Class
This post falls into that category of “wishful thinking”, but if I did suddenly come into money then I can imagine a worse way to go around the world than in business class. Naturally, my preference would be for a flightless option, but if I did have to fly then this would be the way [...]
Long winter holidays in Malta
I’m not retired yet, but if I was then I can imagine worse ways of spending the winter than to be on a mild island in the middle of the Mediterranean. For most tourists, Malta is a scorching summer destination, but if you’re prepared to travel out of season there are some staggering deals to [...]
Cunard prices released for transatlantic trips
I’ve got a plan to travel across the Atlantic by sea at some point – hopefully at the beginning of next year. Because I am a little obsessed with the idea I’ve been doing a lot of research on the matter. It turns out there are quite a lot more ships going across the Atlantic [...]
Japan with children
Japan is becoming more popular as a destination, but very few people think of it as a child-friendly place for a holiday. The truth is though, Japan is very child-friendly indeed and apart from some practical issues such as reading baby food labels, there’s no reason why you can’t take a child to Japan.
I read [...]
South Africa to Europe by sea
I’ve recently become rather obsessed with the idea of visiting my friend Yolande in South Africa, but flying there and back seems like a bit of a drag. Since I’m embarking on a world tour next year, I am going to try to fly as little as possible so this could be a good option [...]
