Low Cost Airlines Slash Rates Americans Want Desperately EasyJet and RyanAir Would Please, Please Come To The U.S.

As if Americans weren’t already envious ample of Europe’s broad choice of lower cost airlines that charge less than the value of what most airlines in America tack on to examine a second bag, they’ve now gone ahead and instituted a cost war, driving fares even lower.

“Let’s hope there is a cost war,” Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara defiantly explained in response to information that British Airways and Virgin slashed charges by up to 25%. Taking the metaphor a little also virtually, Mr. McNamara went on to quote Henry V. “We handful of, we pleased few, we band of brothers For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother. And by brothers I suggest our baggage handlers, stewards, stewardesses, and dedicated airplane mechanics across Good Britain.”

Not that there aren’t a couple of specials that trickle their way down to us Yanks. For example, how about Barcelona from New York for beneath $400? Considering someplace warm and someplace wherever you can really fly to less costly than the Europeans, how about South America, with some round-journey tickets for under $400?

Why Koh Mook is My New Favourite Thai Island

I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand. It’s one of my favourite countries in the world, however basic that may make me. I just can’t get enough of this beautiful, warm, and fascinating country. Ever since my first visit in 2011, I’ve made the effort to return each and every year, and with each new visit, I attempt to check out a new part of the country. Last year, it was time to visit the Trang islands, and they fast became my favourite area in all of Thailand. And Koh Mook? My new favourite island. My first glimpse of Koh Mook, from the ferry ride to shore. Yeah, that beach looked pretty wonderful. I’d loved the previous few days I’d spent on expensive Koh Ngai, but I was excited to move on. Island-hopping in Thailand is one of my favourite pastimes so the prospect of checking out a new spot always has me bouncing around a ferry with excitement. Koh Mook was just a seven-mile journey from Koh Ngai, so we reached the island in around ...

Road Tripping Dartmoor National Park

Exploring Dartmoor in the Vauxhall Mokka X United Kingdom Petting a wild pony in Dartmoor National Park probably wasn’t the best idea. It lunged for my hand, attempting to bite. There’s a reason these furry ponies are called “wild!” Dartmoor has sometimes been described as the ‘last wilderness’ of the United Kingdom. Its vast open landscape is home to a variety of unique features — wet peaty bogs, stunted oak forests, rocky outcroppings called “tors”, and icy mountain waterfalls. If you’re looking to escape London for a while, Dartmoor National Park is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the serenity of nature. The park is only a 4-5 hour drive away from the hustle & bustle of the city. My friends at Vauxhall loaned me their new Mokka X SUV for the trip, a fun city-friendly turbo diesel with 4×4 capability that can handle off-the-beaten-path adventures.
