Best holiday destinations

I walk past a Tim Hortons every time I go to the office. Looks terrible, I'd sooner go to Greggs.

Ive been in that one. Absolute shite hole.

For coffee in the F(U)SA and Canada I found Dunkin Donuts to be the best, somewhat surprisingly.

Totally agree. And it's well priced too.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Just like Canada then?

NSIS.

I'm guessing Brexit means we'll get fucked on this still?

Airlines will no longer be allowed to charge for hand luggage in Europe

Hallelujah!

I suppose it would depend upon when the charge is considered crystallised. Logically it would be when the baggage is taken on board, rather than when the plane arrives and it is taken off. So you would think they could charge for flights out of the UK but be barred from doing so on the flight back in.

Alternatively, British airlines would probably argue that they were subject to British law and therefore charge both ways. If that were the case it would raise an interesting conundrum with Ryanair, depending upon where their registered office is for purposes of being domiciled. Aren't they still considered an Irish company (which has big Corporation Tax benefits) so would be on a cleft stick with not being allowed to charge?

We left the EU, so will it still apply to Britons?

The UK is no longer a member of the EU, but it will still impact British passengers, as it will apply to EU-based airlines, including Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air.

No doubt they'll just put the basic fare prices up to compensate.

Just don't fly Ryanair. Cheap because it is shit.

If it's a flight to Dublin it can be cheap and shit. Barely have time to recognise its shit.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sadly you probably land in kildare

Ok moneybags.

When the other airlines are 2, 3 or 4x more then there is often little choice.

I found Ryanair to Dunlin fine, it's certainly no worse than catching the train to Birmingham.

Moneybags and me are not happy bedfellows.

I’ve only flown Ryanair a couple of times but have had better experiences with them than with easyJet, who I find terrible!

They're both (obviously) budget airlines and generally EasyJet are ok IME. I used to fly LBA to Dublin in the early noughties and Ryanair were much better than the Aer Lingus regular flights. The days of the £1 airfares!

 

[ROVERT47]

Jet2 for me.

Jet2 for me.

They're ok, but more tailored for holidays.

 

[EpsomWolf]

I just get on whichever airline takes you to wherever it is you want to go, and on short haul especially that’s always the cheapest.

Bit different on long haul where I’d pay a little extra if necessary to minimise the number of stops and plane changes etc but that’s about it.

Never really understood the airline loyalty thing or the desire to upgrade at astronomical cost, and besides, the back of the plane always gets in the same time as the front.

 

[Tredman]

Airline loyalty has paid for our family summer holiday to the US so there is that.

 

[leedswolf]

Jet2 for me.

Just been unformed by Jet2 that my flight this afternoin into LBA from Jersey is delayed...
