London Heathrow in 2025: Four New Airlines Join the Battle for Slots
London Heathrow is many things: a global hub, a frequent flyer’s second home, and for most of us, a place where you spend half your time staring at the Heathrow departures board wondering why your gate still says “TBA.” But above all, it’s one of the most busiest airports in the world. Slots here aren’t just valuable, they’re gold dust. Airlines fight tooth and nail to get a piece of the Heathrow action, and in 2025, four new contenders are lining up to do exactly that: Air P

Jack’s Flight Club Summer Sale: 3 Months of Premium Flight Alerts for Just £1
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).

The Best Lounges at Heathrow – Ranked from Champagne to Chaos
Let’s be honest – Heathrow is one of those airports that can go from smooth sailing to “why is there a 45-minute queue for Pret?” in the blink of an eye. But there’s a silver lining: get yourself into a decent lounge and suddenly things feel much calmer (and tastier).
I’ve been in and out of Heathrow more times than I care to count, and I've visited most of the Priority Pass-accessible lounges – some great, some just... there. Here’s how I rank them, based on my real visits

easyJet Plus Card Review 2025: Is It Worth £249 for Frequent Flyers?
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.

China Southern Airlines Business Class Review
Check-in began in a lounge-like setting with serious private jet vibes — very quiet, premium, and smooth on the surface. There was even a private security lane, which added a luxurious touch. However, my departure from Beijing didn’t go off without hiccups. I totally missed that I needed an Australian ETA, and although it’s usually a breeze to apply for, it turned into a nightmare due to China’s internet restrictions!
