    Limassol, Cyprus Accommodation

    I stayed at the Le Meridien a few years back in Limassol and found it to be excellent - I paid for the stay with my hotel points so I can't really opine on the value proposition. It has two pool areas which are excellent for relaxing and great facilities and it's in a great position, although a...

    Interesting article about Allegiant Air

    I flew Allegiant Air last year Santa Maria (SMX) to Las Vegas, the tickets started cheap, however like many LCC's, if want to pick a seat (especially if you are a familiy travelling wanting to sit together) , check luggage the additional charges soon stack up. I remember the US$19 wound up at...

    Jetstar's reduced baggage allowance to Honolulu

    The Qantas rep logged into my frequent flyer account and viewed the booking and immediately confirmed that I can check 2x23kg as I am ticketed as a Qantas pax- however Dave's advice to get a confirming email is solid - I can already visualise a grim faced person in an orange dress grabbing the...

    Missing luggage tags

    Be careful tying ribbons / hankies etc. to the handles on your checked luggage. I tied a ribbon the handle on my nondescript black samsonite bag to stop the carousel lottery. After tying the ribbon on my luggage it was 'mishandled' (aka lost) twice. The agent at Qantas baggage services when...

    Tahiti - any advice?

    We spent 10 nights at the Intercontinental Thalasso Spa in 2006 for our honeymoon, we stayed in an overwater bungalow, and I fully agree with StevePER's remarks about the Thalasso and Bora Bora. It is pricey, however there are few things to do to mitigate the cost; This one is important -...
