Discover Teen Friendly Santa Susanna

6 August, 2016

Teenagers can often be surprising, and sometimes I don’t think we give them enough credit, especially when it comes to choosing a holiday destination. While we can be accused of assuming that all they want to do is lay about being moody, I know lots of kids today who have grown up quickly and developed a mature attitude to life that is sometimes overlooked. Instead of being the stereotypical teens we believe them to be, many are keen to explore, discover and make the most of a week away with the family. Santa Susanna is an ideal family holiday destination

Lufthansa pilots’ strike causes travel chaos

21 October, 2014

Lufthansa pilots have begun their eighth strike this year, forcing the cancellation of 1,511 flights over Monday and Tuesday. The strike was initially aimed at mostly European flights, but will be expanded to international routes on Tuesday, hitting 200,000 passengers. The airline said it hoped to operate a third of its flights over the two days. Lufthansa said it has cancelled over 1,500 short-haul flights but is confident that it will still be able to operate 700, or one-third of all flights, with management pilots and ‘volunteers’.

Skiing and Sangria on the Slopes of Andorra

30 September, 2014

The tiny principality of Andorra lies in the high Pyrenees between Spain and France. It is best known for its ski resorts and its duty free shopping which are the main factors in attracting more than ten million annual visitors. The altitude of the region is comparable with Alpine ski resorts reaching a peak at Coma Pedrosa which stands at 2.942 metres. Typically the skiing is popular with families and is ideal for beginners whilst the après-ski is amongst the liveliest of Europe’s ski resorts. One major advantage that Andorra has to offer over alternative ski destinations is its southerly latitude which often results in beautiful blue skies during much of the annual ski season which usually runs from mid-December until April. Visitors will also be pleased to find that accommodation, lift passes and entertainment in general tend to be significantly cheaper than in comparable Alpine resorts.
