As weird as this might sound, it has been proved that air traveling is the most secure mean of travel or should we say, where there is the less problem.

Train and cars are the most problematic with accidents repetitively happening. The boat is a pretty safe option but plane is still ahead with the least accidents across all mean of transports.

The downside is that the plane is not green and probably one of the most polluting transport on a per passager basis where electric train are of course the best choice.

Green or not, the choice is up to you but with pricing going down and down on flights tickets, most people will probably go for the cheapest.

It is this time of the year when everyone is starting to prepare for festival. Buying tickets, arranging accomodation, booking flights. The recent scandal of false festival tickets also concern the rest of the package. If you book a complete ticket+ accommodation + flight to go to on of those European festivals from a false company, it is not just the ticket that will be refused but also you accommodation and the flight, which even not exists.

So double and triple check everything, only book from trusted and known website. Check that the site has an https connection (if your browser shows a small locker in the bottom bar it should be fine).

The previously announced BA strike and the ash cloud still keeping some plane to the ground may have discouraged quite a few travelers.

AA has announced that roads will be much busier that other bank holiday due to the fact that less people are taking holidays abroad because of the current conditions, and will rather take their cars to drive somewhere close.

So if you are one of those grounded travelers beware of the traffic and try to prepare your journey in advance by departing in off pick hours for example.

Hope everyone has a very nice and long bank holiday weekend.

It has been announced that the staff of British Airways will go on strike again very soon. If you intend to fly from London beware and check with the airport / BA before going to the airport. Many flight should be canceled if the strike is followed by as many people as last time and we expect to see a few delays as well.

The staff are fighting management because of a salary problem, again, and the authorities haven’t said if they were going to honnor those revendications or not yet.

So as usual we will keep you posted on further development but for now it seems that you are flying with BA you’re not flying at all.

After a good week of break not hearing anything about Ash cloud, it comes back to haunt us. Airport have been grounding flights after flights recently and it looks like it will go back to the situation we had two weeks ago.

There is a ray of hope though as a new revision of the recommendation could mean more flight could be allowed to fly. The density of ash in the air where plane can still fly might be raised later today which would mean over 90% of the canceled planes would actually be allowed to fly.

We will of course try to get more information about that so stay tuned.
