Wizz Air

Advantages: Almost Excellent airline to fly with.
Disadvantages: £4 booking fee if not using a Visa Electron card.

...Introduction I have used this air plane a number of times in booking flights and travelling to Prague from London Luton airport and have been generally pleased with the service throughout the buying process. The aircraft are generally Boeing 737 planes and the company flies to many European destinations. What makes this company stand out are its cheap fares which are very reasonable and affordable indeed. The Booking process I have checked the prices and compared them generally to Easyjet and have found that at times it is cheaper to fly with Wizz air on the outbound flight, and in using Easyjet on the return leg of the journey. I have found the website booking process to be very straightforward and easy to complete. When paying for the tickets the website is safe and secure in that it uses https as a secure method...

Review of Wizz Air

Gulf Air

Advantages: clean, comfortable, good service
Disadvantages: No direct flights out to Asia

...I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east. These have always required a stop-off in the gulf area of the Middle East, almost always Bahrain which is the airlines hub. The airline has connections from London, Paris and Frankfurt out to Bahrain and from there there are plenty of connections out to Asia and to various places around the Middle East and Islamic countries such as Sudan and Iran. Thus it isn't the best connected airline for those trying to connect from Western Europe as it will almost always require a change over unless Bahrain is the final destination. The main reason I have flown with Gulf Air is that they have consistently been the cheapest option on offer for flights out to Asia-perhaps because of the required change over. I have flown with them for 3...

Review of Gulf Air - GFA

Air Southwest

Advantages: Customer Service, Regional Destinations
Disadvantages: Can be expensive for late bookings

...I had to travel recently to meet up with some friends in London and this airline provided the easiest way to ge there! I work in travel and thought I'd offer a professional opinion on their services. THE COMPANY and THE PLANE Air Southwest is a small airline based in Plymouth and Newquay and operates between 12 destinations all over the UK and Ireland. During the winter they have also been flying to Grenoble for the skiers in the region. They fly Bombardier dash 8 Q300 aircraft - this translates as a prop plane with 50 seats on board with the same seat layout as you would find on most coaches - two on the left and two on the right. For your convenience there is a lavatory and washroom at the front of the cabin. THE JOURNEY I flew from Plymouth to London Gatwick, travelling out on Saturday morning and returning the Same...

Air 2000/First Choice Flights

Advantages: Cheap but not cheerful
Disadvantages: Offer you no support if things go wrong

...Now the holiday season is fast approaching, no doubt many of you will be perusing the websites and holiday books for ideas on where to spend that elusive two-week break. To be honest, when booking a package holiday I never really took into consideration which airline would be responsible for taking me to my Mediterranean destination. All I looked for was the nearest airport and then the price. ***** WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT THEY DO ******** Since we travelled with Air 2000, they have since become First Choice Flights. As Air 2000 they were quite surprisingly an award winning UK airline. Every year, the airline's 29 aircraft make on average 30,000 flights from fifteen airports in the UK and Ireland. Air 2000 started on 11 April 1987 and is the UK's 3rd largest charter airline. The airline flies from Manchester, London...

Clean air?

Advantages: it does work.
Disadvantages: replacement filters, breakdowns.

...The idea of an air purifier for home use is a good one. You will need to be able to quickly and easily replace any filtration units and have a machine that is not too obtrusive for any domestic use. Way back in January 2006 I bought 4 of these air purifier units. I am a smoker but I like to keep my smoking to only one room of my house and I wanted to try to keep this from going into all the other rooms. This was not the only reason as both my wife and myself seem to suffer a bit with hay fever. I wanted to get a filter into several rooms of the house. My wife wanted a unit that had a HEPA filter, I just wanted something that could keep the room air somewhat clean and be easy to use. To this day I am still somewhat unsure what a HEPA filter is and why it is supposed to be good. At the time the houses on each side of us were both...

  Aires And Graces

Advantages: Classy, cultural and (at the moment) cheap.
Disadvantages: The current economic situation continues to plague the nations spirit.

...by 3 or 4 main thoroughfares and is just about navigable on foot. The buildings here have a classical feel even if many are showing the scars of a city in trouble. As you would expect football is an overriding obsession and the capital is home to the countries biggest teams. Boca Juniors, River Plate, Racing Club and current top team Independiente all play out of Buenos Aires and each has a passionate following. Any visit to the city would be incomplete without witnessing a match as it is here that BA's passion for life persists. ACCOMMODATION Buenos Aires can be a little daunting when it comes to finding a place to stay. The city centre is quite big and its budget hotels are scattered over a wide area so be prepared for a lot of legwork. The biggest concentration of accommodation can be found between Av. Corrientes and Av...

Big Brother

Advantages: Nightly Entertainment, Can Be Good At Times
Disadvantages: Ran Out of Ideas, Repetitive

...Everyone has an opinion on Big Brother, regardless of whether you watch it or not. For some, it's entertaining. For others, it's pointless TV, watched by idiots, which is taking up time and money which could be used on other shows. ~~~ What's it About ? ~~~ Basically, a group of everyday people are put into a house which is completely covered by televsion cameras and microphones. The show then runs for a number of weeks (10+). The contestants participate in daily tasks which they must complete in order to gain a reward. They also get a main task which covers a few days, which depending on their performance, either earns them a food budget to buy what they like from the shopping list or earns them rice and other basic food. The contestants also nominate each other to decide who faces eviction. The public then vote for who...

Review of Channel 4 - Big Brother

Big Country

Advantages: Bryson's dry, stinging wit
Disadvantages: A little repetitive...I say, a little repetitive

...I'm a fan of Bill Bryson. I like his dry, acerbic wit, and the way he bombards the reader with lots of dry facts yet manages to still keep it entertaining. The latest book of his I read (although not the latest written), was Notes from a Big Country. As I said, delivering trivial facts and figures in an amusing fashion is Bryson's forte and when those facts are about the land of his birth (USA), and are compared then related to his once adopted homeland (UK), I can visualize him virtually drooling at the prospect. And so, following his return to live in New England after 20-odd years domiciled in Olde England, when the editor of the British newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, asked him to write a weekly magazine column documenting his return home, you would imagine he'd leap at the chance. Actually, he kept complaining that he didn...
