Getting a discount on the Gatwick Express is totally different to saving money on Heathrow Express. There are no online discount codes or Gatwick Express promotional codes to share. What you do have, which you don’t have when taking the train to Heathrow, are a variety […]
Sneaky airport parking deals with JustPark.com
14 August 2017 By 20 Comments
You may remember reading about JustPark.com when it launched. The original premise of the site is that, if you live near a station or shopping area, you could use the site to rent out your driveway for less than the cost of a standard parking […]
I try ‘Flight Experience London’ in Putney and land a Boeing 737
10 August 2017 By 26 Comments
The closest I’ve come to flying a plane was a computer game my brother had when we were kids. Though most of the time he wouldn’t let me fly the plane and I’m pretty sure whenever he did let me have a go I crashed […]

3 August 2017 By 32 Comments
There is only one miles and points tool that I use every day – and have done for a number of years – and that is AwardWallet. There has always been a link to them from the “I Also Recommend …..” section at the bottom […]
Low-cost NYC with, erm, Primera Air from B’ham and London – book or avoid?
31 July 2017 By 55 Comments
One thing about getting older is that you get a better sense of perspective on news announcements. This is why I wasn’t rushing to write an article when that well-known airline Primera Air announced low-cost flights to New York and Boston from Birmingham and Stansted. […]

Why I tried Revolut on my trip to New York – but should you?
23 July 2017 By
My purse does not contain any credit or debit cards that charge no foreign exchange fees. I know that I should have tackled this issue way sooner as I’ve wasted money on unnecessary FX fees in the past. Last month, with my New York trip coming […]

250 free Avios for joining Meridiana Club (but any use?)
16 July 2017 By
You may never have heard of Italian airline Meridiana, even though it uses Avios for its reward programme. I wouldn’t blame you. It does appear to be a slightly bizarre operation. It is the 2nd biggest Italian-owned airline in Italy but that isn’t saying much. […]
