Booking a holiday is an expensive affair, forking out for flights, accommodation, car hire, airport transfers, insurance and spending money. Sure, you have your transfers planned at the other end, but have you considered the details of your journey from home to the airport on the day of departure?

Commercial airlines rob customers of their money. The price of an average plane ticket is astronomically high, and the customer service of most commercial airlines is pitifully low.

However, there is one great alter... more...
