The world’s first 20-hour flight, plus why budget airfares are rising
Description
In this week's episode, Simon and Greg discuss the EU's controversial air travel reforms, which could affect British passengers. Under the proposals, airlines warn fares could rise, child-seating policies will be overhauled, and a new system is designed to make compensation claims easier.
Plus, the latest news from Project Sunrise: Qantas' ambitious plan to link London and Sydney non-stop. Simon and Greg discuss the benefits, and the most pressing concerns, of spending up to 20 hours in the air.
They also answer your burning travel questions, including why some airlines let passengers check in with an out-of-date passport, and recommendations for a trip to Lake Bled in Slovenia. Plus, why Zanzibar is shaping up to be one of the hottest destinations for next winter.
