'What do you need Today?
Travelling by air these days is something we tend to take very much for granted, along with the delays! (check the above for UK flight information including delays)
Maybe we should, however, begin to really appreciate the amazing low costs involved with present-day air travel. It may not be long, with all the talk of global warming and carbon offsets and subsequent government tax weighting, that this era of cheap air travel may become no more than a nostalgic memory.

1 Eco Fisherman’s Cottage, Lanzarote, Spain This solar-powered fisherman’s cottage on the seafront in the pretty fishing village of Arrieta, northeast Lanzarote, is a stone’s throw from a sandy cove.

There are good coastal walking and cycling trails from the doorstep, and the mountain village of Haria is just a short drive away.
