I first heard about this site from a review I read here on Ciao. When I decided to take a short break to London I decided to take a chance and give it a try. I couldn’t beat the price that I was offered, nor could I get anywhere near it so I am here to encourage you to try it too. ** Idea Behind The Site ** There are a lot of sites available on the Internet that offer cheap and discounted hotel rooms, but I have never come across one that works in quite the same way as this one. The idea behind the site is that instead of the hotel determining the price of something the consumer (you) should ... more

Whilst Annabella Marr may be the mother of Amanda's mother, Necessity is certainly the mother of bold experimentation. Allow me, if you will, to explain! Amanda's grandparents are about to celebrate 60 years of marriage and have invited us to join them in this happy occasion. There's a problem, though. They live in Aberdeenshire (Scotland) and we live in Kent (England). It's a long way to go for a few days. I promised Amanda I'd look into the possibilities and visited the GNER web site. This rail company has a fantastic offer on at present, whereby you can go anywhere on their network for UKP ... more

Whilst priceline does allow you to make flight bookings and normal hotel reservations, I only use it for the "Name Your Own Price" functionality. The way it works is that you pick a city, an area in that city and a star rating. You then offer a price that you would like to pay for a hotel that matches the description. You have no idea of which hotels are available, so this kind of setup isn't for everyone! If your offer is accepted, you get the hotel details, if it's not then you are given the option to change something, like add another area of the city or a lower star rating, then offer ... more

Priceline is a brand new concept in the UK. Customers actually name their own price for airline tickets, hotels and car hire. Can't be true surely? I mean how can they let us, the consumer name our own price? There has to be a catch? So - 'name your own price' - Yes, you do! I have used both the website (http://www.priceline.co.uk) and the customer service call centre (0800 074 5000) to get as much information on priceline as possible! Priceline *want* you to be successful, they want you to get tickets at a great price. Although you name your own price, you need to be realistic, the company ... more

Yup, we've all seen the "amusing for the first three times only" adverts plastered on our tv screens. Those darling customers who really would settle for less if it meant a lower price - shame it's not like that in real life - Every flight I'm on there's always a nanny screaming at the hostess for her denture cream (in the bottom of her suitcase) or something equally important. But anyway - the website..... My mum and darling lil sister (the furbytrator) decided to visit my opa and oma (grandparents - although you probably know that already) in Germany during half term, but didn't want to pay ... more
