Advantages: Got me to Lanzarote safely
Disadvantages: Delays, poor service, poor website...

...me confirmation of pre-booking would arrive in time for our flight. It didn't. At check-in at Stansted there was no record of pre-booking anywhere. They also informed me the seat numbers I had been given were in the front row and were not suitable for pregnant women and children! The check-in staff directed me to their supervisor, who told me to visit an information bureau that covers Freedom Flights. When I got to this desk I found a Thomas Cook rep that was acting on behalf of many tour operators but stated she could not contact Air Scandic on my behalf, and that I would have to clear up the matter on my return to the UK. I was pretty livid by this point, but the check-in staff did allocate us seats on the same row. Coming home the situation was worse and we were split up. My husband was not amused at all, and had it not been... Read review

Advantages: Great instrumentals
Disadvantages: I cant stop listening to it!

...suggests great to play while playing table tennis! Talisman This is a classy instrumental most people will have heard, with an orchestral background and the trademark Air piano solo. This track got great airplay and is used a lot on many TV programmes, I am sad but I am going to mention the holiday programme has used this a lot along with many Zero7 tracks. Remember Starts of with futuristic computerised vocals singing “Remember” basicall all the way through and split into spooky sounding ghost noises in the middle. You make it easy You make it easy is another vocal song with Beth Hirsh again singing in English, a pleasant track with a mild upbeat sounding tempo with a beautiful orchestral arrangement towards the end. Ce Matin LA Another great chill out instrumental track with a very French feel is topped off with lovely... Read review

Advantages: Good location, excellent quality, good staff
Disadvantages: More expensive than normal hostel prices.

...One of the first things you notice when arriving in Split (by train at least) is the abundance of people ready to offer you somewhere to sleep for the night. Even at 7am we had to run the gauntlet of people out to make an easy buck. That's not to say there's necessarily anything wrong with any of these places, but we had already booked our accomodation, so we ignored them, and I am glad we did! Raspudic seems like a strange arrangement at first, as the hostelworld website describes it as 2 separate flats, but if you're in a small group this will not be a problem, and the 2 are within 3 minutes walk from each other anyway. They are also very conveniently located for shops, the station, beaches and the old town, which also means it's close to the port, with daily ferries to nearby islands. When we arrived, tired after a 16 hour train... Read review

Advantages: friendly staff
Disadvantages: food is not always nice, depends on which plane you get

...The first time i went on a plane was last february on a holiday to New Zealand. The New Zealand airline was very expensive so we searched for something a bit cheaper. Then we came across Korean Air. They were charging us around £700 per person. The trip ws split into 4 bits as it was a 20 hour flight to New Zealand, not terribly good for my first time flying! Anyway I will try not to bore you too much but this is my experience. Heathrow to South Korea (Seoul) - The plane was modern (I think it was a boeing 747 but i'm not quite sure). Each seat had a little TV in the back where you could listen to music or watch a mix of Korean or English TV. We were provided with a blanket, pillow, headphones and a little pouch with a toothbrush, a mask and some flight socks in it. My family and I were sat in the middle row and it was very...

Advantages: Availability, Ease of use and Price
Disadvantages: Perfume level is too strong but Unstable, Possible hazards

...We do not have any fixed choice for air fresheners. If we need one, I buy anyone see in the shop but generally try to buy from the brands, Air Wick, Oust and Dettol. The freshener may be aerosol spray, plug in or any other type. Last time I bought Air Wick aerosol 2 in 1 Peach & Jasmine. When the product is almost used up, I remember of writing my experience about this air freshener and so started searching the product in Ciao product list but this wasn't there even though its in the market for quite a long period. So I sent my product proposal to Ciao and I am happy that they have now added this product to their product list. ****Air Fresheners Availability & Price **** The Air Wick is a well known and reputable company. There are several ways how we can freshen up the air in our home with Air Wick products so several products... Read review

Advantages: More Economy Class Legroom Than Other Airlines
Disadvantages: Your Baggage May Not Arrive With You

...My partner and I booked a holiday to Paris in August, partly for the World Athletics Champs, and partly because being from the other side of the world, we'd never been there before, so it seemed like a good opportunity to go. I booked the flights directly on Virgin Travel (online travel agency). The return economy tickets from Heathrow to Charles de Gaulle cost £65 each, which was cheaper than the Eurostar, and other airlines. We booked these in late June or early July, I cannot remember which. Looking at Air France's website, they do have last minute specials if you are one of those people who decides to travel at the very last second. About the flight itself, it was fine (both ways). I cannot comment on the food, as the flight was short (45 mins or so), so you only get a cup of coffee, and biscuits etc. These seemed... Read review

Advantages: smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: none

...Before I discovered Nougat Room Mist, I used to use Glade Air Infusions Violet and Ylang-Ylang air freshener. I spotted the air freshener in Tesco's about a year ago because of bright purple lid on the tin. The use of colouring and the curvy shape of the tin made it stand out from the rest of the other air fresheners on the shelves. It was a little more expensive than the other air fresheners costing £1.99 per tin; where as all the others were retailing at under a £1; but I decided to buy it regardless of the price. I love the scent of this particular air freshener because it has a really unusual scent which I think smells similar to perfume. I was surprised when I first used this air freshener because I was half expecting it to have a really artificial floral scent which was really heavy and only fragranced the room for about five...

Advantages: It is very quiet and efficient.
Disadvantages: It has no customer repairable parts

...Some time ago I bought several air purification machines but they proved rather less than satisfactory in that their controls failed and were not repairable by me. It is rather a facet of our modern age that if something fails then throw it away and get another rather than try and repair it. So followed an internet search for a different model and I found this one. It is called the "Air-O-Swiss advanced air treatment system 2061". (AOS2061) First some technical specifications. Voltage: 230 V / 50 Hz Power consumption level: 1/2/3 (setting) 20/23/42 W Noise level: 1/2/3 (setting) 26/35/43 dB(A) Air through-put: 1/2/3 (settings) 110/150/220 m³/h up to 215 cf/m Dimensions: 460 x 600 x 330 mm, 18.1" x 23.2" x 12.9" Weight (empty): 7.7 kg, 17.6 lbs The maker is given as Plastron and this unit is recommended as suitable...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Loads

...I absolutely HATE Air France. I recently took my partner on an extended weekend (5 days) for her Birthday to New York. My only mistake was booking with Air France. The hotel was great, weather, food everything but the travel. We had a 6 hour delay at Manchester which meant arriving late into Paris CDG. We had missed our connection and were told that we wouldnt be getting to New York today !!! Easily said, very hard to take. They suggested that if we did want to get to NYC today then they could fly us to Montreal CANADA !! We took this option because we really wanted to get to NYC and the accomodation was already paid for (5 Star Manhattan Hotel) We left Paris and arrived in Canada (but our luggage didnt) we ended up being delayed again and staying in Montreal overnight then onto NYC in the morning. We finally arrived in NYC... Read review
