The most popular country for Europeans who take overseas holidays is Spain - by a mile - but a Spanish airline has surprised many by opening a new route to holiday competitor Malta - which is riding the crest of a tourism wave after some years in the doldrums. Vueling, a Spanish low cost airline, started flying to Malta three times a week from early April, with the route of Spain's capital Madrid to Malta's Luqa Airport. The Spanish airline was set up just four years ago ... more...

Blissfully located in the Mediterranean and less than two hours flight time from the UK, Menorca has carved herself a niche and is known for peaceful family holidays, while her sister Balaeric islands of Mallorca and Ibiza are busier - and some would say definitely noisier! But like any other holiday destination, tourism plays an important part in Menorca's economy, and she wants to maintain and if possible improve on the number of visitors as Europe's economy follows the U.S. i... more...

Flying for long hours can get really uncomfortable. Knowing the right kind of clothing to wear can really help you relax for the long journey ahead of you. You do not want to wear shoes that are going to be confining because feet normally swell during the flight.

Heathrow's new Terminal 5 building has caused controversy since the plans to build it were first announced. It stirred mixed emotions with environmentalists and local residents who are against the increased noise, pollution and traffic that it is going to bring. However, others, especially those who participate in a lot of business travel every year, feel that an extra terminal building is a wise move on behalf of British Airways. The reason for this is because it is hoped that the extensio... more...

Many people think of major airports and cringe at the thoughts of lines requiring hours to get through, thousands of peopl... more...
