How Safe is your Holiday Airline.

Every year millions of us look through holiday brochures or search the Internet for that holiday in the sun and we take it for granted that the lovely picture of the aircraft in the brochure is the one we shall be flying on.

Your aircraft is more than likely to be an ageing 737 or Airbus which is over worked and has a quick turn around on the ground before it's next flight, you may even be booked on an aircraft from another country charted by the holiday company and some holiday companies lease aircraft.

So how do you know what aircraft you may get and which airline or country it is from ?

Look up your departure airport, date and time in the brochure and check the airline code.                                 

WHAT AIRCRAFT does your AIRLINE FLY ?

Is your Airport and Airline safe!

Holiday and Charter flights are they safe, that is a major question  when most tour operators want you through the airport and on your aircraft as quickly as possible with few if any security checks in place  other than at major airports and a number of tour operators seem to be an easy target.

Aircraft at some foreign holiday destination airports land you get off your baggage is unloaded other passengers board, baggage is loaded and the aircraft takes off with little or no security.

Inclusive Holidays to America are they a Rip OFF.

The average cost for a family of 2 adults and 2 children being around £2300 for 7 nights in Orlando.         

For this you will get a cramped seat on a charter flight, unless you pay extra for a wider seat an economy car for which you will have to pay extra for the insurance cover, local handling fees and tax's and you will get an hotel room.

Do this independently and you could save over £1178,  with flights on a scheduled airline, Hotel and Car Hire inc Tax and Insurance booking direct for 7 nights.
