I'm a bit of a word freak but had to look up hypocorism. Whether I will remember it or not is another matter but it's a lovely word like serendipity and apricity

I need an apartment in London for a week in July. Normally I would avoid it like the plague in July but a combination of events means I need to be there. There are plenty available but just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for either an apartment or Airbnb they have used that is good...

So much to my annoyance my friend in London who I was going to house sit for in June/July for 2-3 weeks has given up his flat and heading back to Oz. I had planned to just chill for a week but never mind there are other places to explore and last minute bookings in London are a little...

Does anyone know if Qantas Gold trumps BA economy basic and I will get included luggage.

Interested in people's must do in Malta. I've reviewed a few TR but if anyone has anything to add I'd be interested. Someone maybe two or three years ago mentioned some nice apartments in an old building. If anyone remembers that I'd be grateful @MARTINE @RooFlyer @Flashback

I've just tried sending a PM to two people and after I've added one it says limit reached. @admin is this an enhancement or is there an error Thanks

So I got the HSBC card and have reached my spend and now am Air Canada Gold. I was expecting to see my points go to Aeroplan but just realised they are in Star Alliance and I can divert them to numerous places. What is interesting is the app for Air Canada is fine and showing me Gold...

Hi - a friend booked a BA flight in May from LHR to DUB and was picking up a hire car. BA cancelled his flight and the other choice is to go the night before which means he will have to pay another night accommodation in Belfast (he is driving DUB to BEL) when he has already paid for...
