We’re talking up to 45% off Avios redemptions across BA’s network including premium Club Europe seats. If you’ve been saving up your Avios for a rainy day, this could be the moment to cash them in and actually enjoy the fruits of your collecting.

In an era of ultra-efficient, sleek jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350, you might think the double-decker Qatar Airbus A380 is a relic of the past. But despite whispers of its retirement, this superjumbo continues to turn heads and for good reason. Having already flown and reviewed the excellent Qatar Airways 787 business class, I couldn’t help but dive into what makes the Qatar A380 so unique in today’s aviation landscape and why it remains firmly on my bu

Qatar Airways has introduced a brand-new way for members of its Qatar Privilege Club to earn Avios faster and it’s called Privilege Club Pro. This subscription service is aimed at frequent flyers and loyal customers who want to top up their Avios balance regularly while working towards tier upgrades in the Privilege Club. According to the airline, Privilege Club Pro is designed to “accelerate the path to rewards”, making it easier to plan for award flights, upgrades, and eve

I’ve flown Upper Class on the 787 Dreamliner and lounged at both Heathrow and LAX and every time, it feels just a bit different from its rivals. But Virgin isn’t standing still. With free WiFi rolling out across the fleet, an AI-powered concierge service on the horizon, and even changes to the Flying Club loyalty programme promised, Virgin Atlantic is putting its own spin on what the future of premium travel looks like.

Manchester Airport has just been named one of the worst in the UK for flight delays. If you’ve ever stood in a long departure queue, checking your watch and wondering why nothing’s moving, you’re not alone. As someone who used to work as a flight delay controller at a major London airport, I’ve seen it all: late arrivals, crew issues, overbooked flights, aircraft swaps, you name it. My job was to stop delays from snowballing and get planes off the ground, even when the odds w

Let’s be real: cheap flights aren’t magic – they’re strategy. Hi, I’m Paul aka Mr Plane Guy – travel blogger, airline reviewer, and seasoned flyer with over 100 airport lounges under my belt. I’ve flown on everything from £9.99 Ryanair hops to long-haul biz class bargains, and I’m here to help you get the best bang for your buck when it comes to airfare. Whether you’re planning a dream trip to Japan or a cheeky city break in Seville, this is your full, no-nonsense guide to

At last, some genuinely good news for travellers and yes, it’s from Ryanair. If you’ve flown with Ryanair in the past few years, you’ll know that their baggage policy has been… let’s say, minimal and strict. The infamous “free personal bag” that you squeeze under the seat has been getting smaller and smaller, while add-ons like Priority Boarding (to bring a second, larger cabin bag) keep creeping up in price.

If you’ve ever tried to book a flight from Manchester to Bangkok before, you’ll know the drill: a cheeky connection through Dubai, Doha or Istanbul, a hefty layover, and at least 14-16 hours of your life gone before you even see a mango sticky rice. Well… good news, Northern jetsetters: Norse Atlantic Airways has just made your Thai dreams a whole lot easier and cheaper.

There’s a new lounge in town – or more accurately, in the terminal. Escape Lounges has just opened their first Scottish location at Edinburgh Airport, and if you’re on the hunt for somewhere quiet to sit, snack, and sip before your flight, this might be one to check out.

TUI is back with another long haul beauty for Northern Ireland travellers – a direct flight from Belfast International Airport to Cancun is set to launch just in time for Easter 2026. If you’re dreaming of tacos on the beach, all-inclusive mojitos, and a proper sunshine recharge, this one’s for you.

Let’s be real flight cancellations are never fun. But when it’s BA cancelled flights, things can get especially stressful. British Airways, while a flagship airline, has had its fair share of disruption recently. If you’ve landed on this post after a frustrating experience (or you’re just trying to prepare for the worst), I’ve got your back. I’m Paul a former flight delay controller at a busy London airport. I’ve been behind the scenes, helping resolve chaos when planes don’

If you’d told me a few months ago that my weekly Tesco shop and maybe a cheeky few tins of beans here and there, could help me book a Premium Economy flight to New York, I probably would have laughed. But here I am, with a confirmed seat on Virgin Atlantic’s London to JFK flight thanks to the power of Tesco Clubcard points, the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and a very generous 5,000 Virgin Points bonus that landed in my account at just the right time.

Flying with Ryanair in 2025? Good news – for once, there’s been a baggage rule change that actually benefits you(especially if you're travelling with small humans). The airline famous for measuring your bag with a ruler made of rage has updated its policy… Children aged 2–11 can now bring a Trunki or similar ride-on suitcase for free, even though it’s technically bigger than the standard Ryanair hand luggage size. Yep. You read that right. More space. No extra charge. No ne

If Japan is high on your travel wish list (and let’s face it why wouldn’t it be?), here’s some exciting news: Jack’s Flight Club are currently giving away TWO free round-trip flights to Japan!

Gatwick departures just got way more exciting. If you're looking to escape the UK and jet off across the Atlantic without emptying your savings account, this is the travel deal you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s not pretend. easyJet has been the chaotic neutral of the skies for years now. Sometimes they’re brilliant – like that one time I got from Gatwick to Milan for £17 and they didn’t even charge me to breathe onboard. Sometimes they’re less than brilliant – like that other time when my “priority boarding” line was longer than the queue for Wimbledon tickets.

Big news for Aussie travellers and Singapore stopover fans: From 5 October 2025, low-cost carrier Scoot will boost its Sydney–Singapore route to double daily flights, up from the current ten services per week. This expansion means more flexibility, more availability, and more chances to escape to Asia on a budget (well, sort of).

Manchester Airport is on the move again! While work is wrapping up on the shiny new Terminal 2, the airport is already gearing up to give Terminal 3 a serious glow-up. Plus, with Terminal 1 on its way out, there are some exciting changes coming to Manchester's favourite travel hub.

The skies over Scotland witnessed something truly remarkable on May 15, 2025, as Global Airlines made its debut transatlantic flight from Glasgow to New York JFK. For aviation enthusiasts and frequent flyers alike, this was no ordinary takeoff. It was the moment a bold new player in the airline industry took its first leap towards the big leagues.
