You've just landed on a hot foreign shore for a pleasant week away with the family. As you're waiting for your luggage to come around the carousel you nip to the toilet, thinking your partner knows where your hand luggage is, and they are looking out for it. Within it is your passport, plane tickets and £200 worth of foreign currency. When you return, it's gone, and your partner had no idea that

You've packed your bags and you're ready for the off, apart from you've forgotten that you actually have to get to the airport. No to worry though, there are plenty of ways to get to the UK's airports without too much hassle, but one thing you will need to consider is the cost. You can always drive to the airport and park there, you could get a train or a taxi, or you could even hire a car and

The remnants of the Roman Empire are scattered across much of western and southern Europe, with small sites being dotted all over the place. However, there are a number of quite remarkable sites spread across the ancient superpower's territory that are still standing today. Whether it is in Britain, Spain or Algeria, ancient structures continue to live on outside of Italy. Here are three of the

It's no secret that Italy is blessed with one of the world's best cuisines. It's a country full of recipes, and while in Britain we mostly think of eating pasta or pizza when we head to an Italian restaurant, there's so much more to it than that. Risotto, gnocchi, polenta, and a range of sea food dishes are just a small proportion of what Italian cuisine can offer, whilst there are a massive

If you're leaving school or University this year and want one last throw of the dice with your best friends then a summer holiday to the Mediterranean may well be on the cards. Holidays filled with sun, sand, and cold beers are extremely popular with most 18-30 year olds and there are plenty of resorts throughout the Mediterranean that are invaded by British holidaymakers looking for a good time.

Bali Bali is the quintessential island paradise. In fact there can be few islands more routinely referred to in such terms and it won't take visitors long to work out why - beautiful beaches, all the surfing and diving opportunities you could possibly hope for, friendly locals and a relatively unspoiled Balinese culture that adds to the picturesque and at times almost spiritual atmosphere of

Tired of the long cold nights over the festive period? A lot of Britons are packing their bags in preparation of a holiday away this Christmas, with the USA and Spain likely to be the most popular places to go in 2007. Winter break options are often restricted to sunny destinations or skiing holidays in Europe. However, a few make the longer journey across the pond to the USA, and those that go

As days get shorter and the sun becomes increasingly elusive it's hard to resist fantasizing about being somewhere a bit warmer, preferably with a beach. In fact it's always struck me that a holiday in the sun makes far more sense in the cold winter months than during the summer when, with a bit of luck, us Brits aren't completely deprived of a bit of sunshine. The other big advantage of '

If you've ever considered taking a holiday to Canada, then the expansive Banff National Park comes as a highly recommended destination. Located in the Canadian Rockies, and sandwiched between the states of Alberta and British Columbia, it was first established in 1885 as the first National Park in Canada, covering some 2,564 square miles of territory. A visit to Banff is a must do for keen

Ski enthusiasts take note; if you're heading off for the slopes this winter you really should make sure you've got the right travel insurance. This probably means that you'll need to take out a policy specifically designed for Winter Sports holidays. Recent research shows that far too many of us wrongly assume that our existing annual travel insurance covers us for any skiing mishaps we might

The aviation industry has come in for a quite severe attack from environmentalists over the past year. While emissions from aviation contribute to only around 2% of total global emissions, there has been concern that the growth in the industry is overtaking the improvements in fuel efficiency, and that will be a major factor in global climate change. Many airlines are now attempting to clean

The transformation of Dubai from small pearling village to the vast, brash monument to commerce that it is today makes it a uniquely fascinating city to visit even if you find that the idea of its gaudy, nouveau riche extravagance induces an instinctive shiver of distaste. Dubai is without doubt a remarkable city, having effectively emerged from nothing forty years ago to become what is now a

New York is a city that is visited all year round. One of the most famous cities in the world, New York is a destination that you will never forget. And with an exchange rate that is presently in favour of UK holiday makers it has become an even more enticing proposition.

Many couples prefer to arrange their own honeymoons rather than booking packages to tropical destinations such as Mauritius or the Seychelles. Reasons can include a phobia of creepy crawlies infesting where you are going to be staying or the cash drain inflicted by your wedding, which may encourage you to decide to create your own personalised package and save a little money in the process.

Annual travel insurance is becoming more popular amongst Britons, a survey by Datamonitor shows. Britons seem to be taking more flights than in any previous year and it seems that concerns about the environment are not such a big priority. All of this extra flying has meant an increase in the travel insurance market of 1.4%. The report's author Andrew Haslip commented: "The UK travel insurance

The Canaries have long offered a temptingly convenient retreat from the cold British winter.

A recent study by Sainsbury's Travel Insurance has found that millions of travelers are being mis-sold travel insurance by travel agents.
