Traditional airlines going budget with baggage

14 March 2013 By Luna Dizon
Booking a flight with one of the traditional airlines has always been more straight forward than the budget ones. The fare generally includes your in-flight services - as well as your check-in luggage. But as British Airways extends their hand baggage only fare to more routes and KLM charging extra for check-in baggage soon, are these a sign of things to come?

Frankenstorm, flight cancellations and knowing your rights

29 October 2012 By Luna Dizon
As one of the biggest storms in US history, closes in on the East coast, thousands of flights have been cancelled and there's travel disruption on the ground too. If you're due to travel to, from or around the east coast (including New York, Washington DC and Boston), make sure you check with your airline or travel agent about your flight status as well as local news for public transport latest. DO also make sure you are aware of what your air travel rights are and what your travel insurance entitles you to. Better to be safe than sorry!

Don't fly, support Team GB says British Airways

04 July 2012 By Luna Dizon
British Airways are rather good at advertising (I think so at least!) This time though, they're telling Britons not to fly and to support Team GB. If you're from the UK, see a BA plane taxi down your street in their new advert. They do add, however, if you did actually want to fly away - they'd be more than happy to welcome you on board. See also a few of their heritage posters we found recently and love. Wherever you're headed this summer, make sure you visit CarJet. We've got fantastic car hire deals throughout the UK and worldwide.
