@katebevan Oh God, this. I have told people this so many hundreds of times. Journalists are utterly incapable of a conspiracy.

Never ceases to amaze/amuse me that people think "the MSM" would all collude on something like this. Sure, a friendly paper might play something down, but it'll never happen across "the MSM". You can't even get half a dozen hacks to agree on which pub to go to.

The irony of Europe's 'greenest' airline encouraging people to take unlimited flights reflects how most airlines really don't care about climate change They will put profit first, always

"Passengers should look behind the headline price to work out if this really is a deal. Once booking fees, seat selection and luggage costs are added on, travellers will see costs spiral." - @roryboland, Editor of @WhichUK Travel Read more via @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We had a look at UK summer train 'deals', many aimed at families. Some great bargains out there, especially on LNER But the 'Long Weekender' deal from Great Western is rubbish. It's cheaper to book advance tickets (even a few days before travel) or the usual super off peak

a cut from 5.25% to 5% is not a "0.25% cut". It's a cut of 4.76%; the rate has been cut by a quarter of a percentage point. I will die on this hill.

Got car hire already booked this summer? Prices have dropped dramatically (44% on average) You'll almost certainly save, possibly hundreds of pounds if you cancel your existing summer booking and rebook at the new price

We asked 7,000 passengers how long they spent queuing at UK airports to see if paying for fast track to jump the security queue was actually worth it? The answer. No, except at maybe one airport which.co.uk/reviews/airpor…

It's such a joy to hear from readers about content that's free to read because of ads and about paid services - based on years of accumulated knowledge - that they're under precisely zero obligation to purchase.

Going to be a tough day for passengers as the summer break gets underway Best way to avoid the chaos is to not check in bags. That's where the worst queues are, and bags always get lost in IT outages. If you do check bags in make sure keys, medicine etc are in your hand luggage

Very sad to see my alma mater, Bangor, in last place. Far too many visitors have not walked down Garth Pier, one of the best in the UK, and had the Bara Brith at Whistlestop cafe.

I know it's been a difficult, and at times even embarrassing few years to be British; so I am here to reassure you that German airports, much like their trains, are even more of an omnishambles of heilloses Durcheinander than ours They can't even get the signs right
