The Atlantic Coast Of France
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Although the Mediterranean coast of France has been attracting tourists for centuries, many overlook the beauty of the equally spectacular west coast. We take a look at some of the highlights of France’s Atlantic coastline.
Four regions of France have Atlantic coastlines - Bretagne (Brittany), Pays De La Loire, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine.
Brittany is likely to be the best known for many British holiday-makers who have chosen to spend time on the west coast of France. Indeed, overseas visitors have been snapping up property here, meaning that some feel that the north-west coast has lost some of its “natural feel”, although there have been associated benefits.

The Rise Of Budget Airlines
Friday, March 28th, 2008Flight prices are as low now as they have ever been, thanks in no small part to the rise of budget airlines. In the word’s of a former British Prime Minister, we’ve “never had it so good”.
We may think of budget airlines as being a new concept but they’ve actually been around for quite some time. Southwest Airlines offered a ticketless operation back in the early 1970s and that is an approach that will be familiar to millions of customers who have used the likes of Ryanair, Easyjet and Flybe in recent years.
How To Avoid Airport Boredom
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Many of us have had the misfortune to be stuck around in airport lounges, waiting for our delayed flight to depart. In this article we examine methods to avoid the associated boredom.
Being stuck at an airport for hours on end can be a draining experience. Even the world’s largest airports make less than ideal locations to spend more than an hour or so.
From the uncomfortable chairs to the loud announcements, it seems that airport lounges are not conducive to relaxing. Although many airports will include a number of stores within the airport terminal buildings, such stores are often over-priced, making the entire experience even less pleasurable.

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.

Last Minute Airline Upgrades On Longer Flights
Thursday, March 13th, 2008Flying is a necessary evil if you want to get from one place to another. The level of evil you must submit to, however, is directly proportional to the class of seating you have. First class seating on a long flight is simply heaven on earth.
First class. Ah…. People feeding you grapes and fanning you with big palm leaves. Okay, maybe not. Still first class is where you find seats made for the human body and stewardesses that don’t act like French waiters. On a long flight, first class is where you want to be.
