Saving in the Sky
Did you know that you can save money while purchasing a drink on an airplane? Recently, while flying with EasyJet, I spotted in their onboard leaflet that you can save 50p on a hot drink by using a reusable cup of your own, a brilliant way to save in the sky. This would make a cup of tea or coffee just £2.50, or a flavoured coffee just £2.75. A fab saving on a little treat for your holiday travels.

For flights, you could be getting up to £520 compensation for a delay of 2-4 hours, the compensation for each flight depends on the distance of travel. You may also be entitled to free food and drink vouchers to spend in the airport while you wait. And for trains, you can get compensation for a delay of 30-60 minutes, or even a full refund if you’re one or more hours late arriving into your destination. Information on delay compensation is readily available online and will vary by situation.
