If you’ve ever found yourself meandering around Gatwick Airport, doing laps of the shops, eyeing up a £7 latte at Black Sheep or a £15 salad in Pret, pouncing for a seat, and forget even trying to get near a socket or USB port, then you know the struggle is real. That’s exactly why a lounge pass can feel like heaven. Today, I’m diving head first into the free buffet (having not eaten properly for days thanks to man flu) at the No1 Lounge Gatwick North Terminal – and trust me,

Flying budget airlines in 2025 is all about strategy. Cabin bag restrictions are stricter than ever, airport prices are wild, and comfort isn’t exactly a priority if you’re crammed into a Ryanair 737 middle seat. That’s why I’ve built a kit of travel essentials I never leave home without. These aren’t gimmicks, they’re the exact items that get me through EasyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and beyond, without extra baggage fees, sore legs, or losing my sanity. Here’s my top 10.

Flight prices can feel like daylight robbery. One day it’s £120 to Spain, the next it’s £480 and you’re wondering if you should just give up and take a staycation. The good news? Finding cheap flights isn’t about luck it’s about knowing the right tricks and having the right tools. After years of hunting deals and trying every travel hack out there, I can confidently say one service stands out: Jack’s Flight Club. I’ll walk you through how it works, why it’s worth it, and so

Norse Atlantic is a low-cost, long-haul airline based in Norway. They fly a consistent fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which is something I rate highly. Unlike some airlines, you don’t need to worry about being put on an old aircraft last minute. It’s always the 787, which means modern cabins, better air quality, quieter engines, and a generally smoother ride.

Enter Seatfrog the app that’s shaking up train travel in the UK by letting you bid or instantly upgrade to First Class for up to 60% less.

When Wizz Air announced their All You Can Fly Pass, I thought it sounded like the travel hack of the century. For a one-time yearly payment of €599 (around £510) plus a flat fee of €9.99 per flight, you’d supposedly unlock unlimited flights across Wizz Air’s entire international network. 780 routes, 53 countries, spontaneous getaways whenever you wanted? Count me in. But as I quickly discovered, the reality was far more frustrating. In fact, the pass was so restrictive......

I love it because it takes all the legwork out of finding deals and because the team genuinely seems to care about curating quality offers rather than just flooding you with noise. You don’t get spammed, you can cancel anytime, and you can even set your preferred departure airports so you’re not tempted by deals from Timbuktu (unless that’s your thing, of course).

If you’ve ever flown through London Gatwick, you’ll know it’s… busy. Gatwick is the UK’s second-busiest airport, and while it’s efficient, it’s not exactly known for its zen vibes.

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.

Embarking on a journey from London Gatwick to the sun-kissed shores of Ibiza aboard British Airways Euroflyer, I found myself amidst a blend of budget-friendly travel and the classic BA charm. Here's an in-depth look at my experience on flight BA2682.

Let’s be honest – airport terminals these days can be a bit of challenge to get thru, security lanes, constant rule changes, stressing about your bags size, delays, Screaming kids, £7 bottles of water. So last year, I finally did what any self-respecting frequent flyer should: I got myself a Priority Pass.

Let’s be honest, navigating Heathrow can feel like a marathon. Whether it’s long check-in lines, chaotic security checks, or trying to find a seat in the terminals hustle and bustle, it can all get a bit much. That’s where the Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 comes in.

If you’ve ever found yourself rushing through Heathrow Airport, wishing for a quiet escape from the chaos, then the Club Aspire Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 might be just what you need. But, is it worth the cost? And is there a better way to access this lounge without breaking the bank? n this review, I’ll take you through my experience with the Club Aspire Lounge, share the details about the lounge’s features, and show you how you can get access with Priority Pass and e

Great question, and one that many Google users are frantically searching mid-terminal. The No1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 is not exactly front and centre. Once you’re through security, head towards Gates A1 to A5. Now here’s where it gets weird: take the lift down one level. It’ll feel like you’re being dropped into a subterranean bunker – no natural light, no runway views, and the mood lighting of a swanky members club.
