These are the best times to book a flight — and how to save thousands on flights to the Maldives and Costa Rica

It means that booking around three months in advance could save you £107 for international flights. For example, when flights to Costa Rica were booked two weeks or less before departure, the average ticket price was £843, compared to £1,074 when booked one to two months before travel. That’s a saving of £231. While, if like pretty much everyone, you have your sights set on the Maldives, booking three months ahead rather than a month or less could save you a whopping £853.

Let Sabrina Carpenter do the Eiffel Tower, kids have seen it all before anyway

As with most in the Disney to pop star pipeline, a massive slice of Carpenter’s fanbase is tweenage girls. While Carpenter’s lyrics aren’t X-rated in the sense that she rarely swears, they are richly euphemistic. And yes, there’s something mildly unsettling about, say, 12-year-old girls belting out lines from her hit Bed Chem, like: “come right on me, I mean camaraderie!” or, “And I bet we'd both arrive at the same time, and I bet the thermostat's set at six-nine”.

Nissan Qashqai Tekna+ e-Power 2WD: Sports utility upgraded

The Qashqai is a tall car, and that makes getting in and out of it an easier prospect, and the rear side doors open to 90°, which also which helps. Rear headroom is good, even with the test car’s glass roof. Shoulder, knee and foot room aren’t class leading but are otherwise not at all bad. We found the back seat cushion to be a little low. At just over 500 litres with the back seats in place, the boot is a regular shape and a decent size, although once again some rivals have even more space. Source link

Our Habitas Ras Abrouq hotel review: An indulgent solo trip in Qatar was the perfect de-stresser

But first, I head to Qissa, the hotel’s restaurant for breakfast. To get there from the villa, I follow a dusty path, lined with yellow jasmine and pink grasses. Close by, the placid sea of the Arabian gulf merges with the cobalt sky, as if it is one. I try one of the local specialities, labneh eggs with sourdough, and, as a white egret swoops over the sea, I switch off my phone. Source link

Club Med Serre Chevalier: Why this Southern Alps hidden gem should be on your radar

The buzz of excitement was palpable when Didier proposed his plan for my final day’s skiing at Serre Chevalier. “Okay, now I think we can go to the summit. Does that sound okay?” the instructor asked our small group who had skied with him through our sunny week in the southern Alps.From Monday, we had assembled outside our Club Med resort each morning and afternoon, ready to hone our technique under Didier’s expert eye while exploring the 410 hectares of marked runs and many more off-piste areas that make up the largest ski area in the region. We had traversed mile after mile of mostly blue and red runs, sometimes having to bus it back to our warm and welcoming accommodation from one of the other villages we skied into – tired but exhilarated – in the valley at the end of the day, before m...

Dynamo aka Steven Frayne’s secret London: The magician’s favourite burrito spot and where he shops

Hampstead. I’ve actually lived in London longer than I’ve lived in Bradford now. I started coming when I was 15. I’d get on the £1 bus from Bradford. It would take eight hours — this was before wi-fi so it was proper boring — and when I’d get to London, I’d go straight to Covent Garden, St James Street corner, which is the magicians’ corner, and busk there. I’d stay on other magicians’ couches for the weekend. Jump on the bus back up to Bradford and hopefully go home with a stack full of change in my pocket. Cops pull me over all the time — just so they can find out if it’s me and see if I will show them a trickWhere was your first flat in London?When I first properly moved, I lived in Walthamstow. I lived above a chippy. But it cost me 50 quid a week, and that was quite easy to make bu...
