When traveling with children on an airplane, being prepared is the best way to overcome the stress and frustration that can accompany air travel. While most kids behave when on long flights, if your child is prone to tantrums, you may want to consider another mode of travel. Keeping your children in their seats and as quiet as possible when on a flight is your responsibility.

Could the writing be on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights?

The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren’t specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.

Timeshares are costly and very limiting. There are large up front costs and ongoing fees, which can be as much as $400 or $500 a month. Generally, timeshares can be used only once a year, some only every two years, and you can’t always get them when you want them. Most people don’t want to travel to the same place year after year. Because there are so many interesting and exciting destinations around the world, it makes absolutely no sense to invest your money in one destination. You can exchange your timeshare for another location, but this can be extremely difficult. Fortunately there is an exciting alternative that will save you thousands of dollars in the long term.

When you think of Cyprus, usually one of the first places that pops into your head is Paphos. It is by far Cyprus’s most popular tourist destination and looking back on its history it is not hard to see why. This article is about Paphos and particular the culture and history surrounding it.

One of the main reasons why the area is so popular is because it was once home to the mythical Goddess Aphrodite. When the Goddess mystically appeared out of the sea it obviously caused a lot of interest and thousands of tourists started flocking to the island. It became the Capital of Cyprus but today it is better known as a small harbour town.

What smells do you associate with Christmas? Pine trees, minces pies, mulled wine, bratwurst?

Every year, thousands of us flock to Christmas markets - known as Christkindlmarkt - in the UK and in Europe. With a wide variety of exotic food, drink and hand-made gifts available, these markets help to add a continental feel to Christmas. It’s Christmas market season, but not just in Germany, for continental markets have been a growing industry in the UK over the last century.

These markets offer a change from the hustle-and-bustle of the busy high street, giving shoppers the opportunity to break away from the busy shopping and sample some warming food and drink from our European neighbours.
