Flights delays can ruin your holiday and put you in a bad mood. Unfortunately flight delays are out of your control and you can usually blame them on weather, some mechanical fault or industrial actions. While there is nothing you can do to stop them, you can prevent them from ruining your trip.

Get what is owed to you
If your flight is delayed by more than a few hours make sure you talk to the flight operator to see what you deserve. Even if it is only water it will mean you won’t have to pay for it.

Pamper yourself
Flight delays can be boring and expensive so make sure you take some time out to pamper yourself without spending any money. Spend some time sprucing yourself up at the beauty counter or make sure you smell nice with a few spritz of sample perfumes.

Have a chat
Pass some time by chatting with the person sitting beside you. You never know what you might discover.

Make sure you are insured
Making sure you are insured will go a long way in ensuring you have as much of a stress-free delay as possible.

Airports can be annoying, really annoying, especially if you are waiting on a delayed flight. There is nothing worse than being stuck for hours with nothing to occupy you but your phone and dodgy wifi.

The most annoying things about airports include:

Too few seats
You’d think by now there would be enough seats to accommodate more than a handful of people.

Uncomfortable seats
When you do manage to grab one you spend most of your time arranging bags and coats to make it at least somewhat comfy.

A lack of power sockets
Phone battery is flat, your flight is delayed two hours and you have nowhere to charge your phone. Not such fun times.

Paying for wifi
Seriously, this is just wrong. Then there is the added expensive of buying magazines when it doesn’t work to keep us amused while we wait. And to top it off you have to show your boarding card for every single purchase.

The boarding call
Telling you it’s time to board and leaving you in the queue for ten minutes. You’re going to get a seat so just wait until the queue starts moving.

Here are some ways to make sure you arrive home content and happy with your travels.

1. Take lots of photos
Snap all around you. Who cares if you “look like a tourist” – you’ll appreciate the great memories when you come home!

2. Get out there
Hotels are strictly for sleep. Get out there and see what this new and exciting place has to offer and do it all.

3. Keep a journal
Sometimes we forget the little things so write everything down so you can remember each day as it was.

4. Early to bed, early to rise
We’re not suggesting you hit the leaba at 6pm or anything but you will need your full day to do all you need to so get your beauty sleep. You need to look good in those pictures after all!

5. Don’t miss opportunities
Just because your tired or it’s too hot doesn’t mean you should skip the day’s activities. You will regret what you didn’t do rather than what you did.

Remember to stay safe when travelling, these tips should help!

If your dream is to travel but you just haven’t gotten around to it yet, transport yourself around the world with these great books.

From Thailand to Paris, these books will bring you places you only see in your dreams, all from the comfort of bed.

1. Wild, Cheryl Strayed
Cheryl is 24, divorced and racked with grief from her mother’s recent death. To heal and find herself she decides to undertake the Pacific Crest Trail and hikes 1, 100 miles – alone. A true and fascinating story that is due to be made into a film later this year.

2. Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
Following a difficult divorce, Elizabeth travels the world going from Italy to Indonesia and then to India. This is a true story, which was made into a film starring Julia Roberts in 2010.

3. Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer
This book is based on Krakaeur’s 9,000 word essay on the travels and demise of Christopher McCandless. McCandless donated his college fund of $24,000 to Oxfam in 1990 and set out to travel Western United States.

4. The Beach, Alex Garland
This movie was a massive success, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But the original novel is just as captivating. The story of a backpacker who comes across a small community of tourists living in isolation on an unspoilt island.

5. The Hundred-Foot Journey, Richard Marais
When Hassan and his family must flee their Indian home and restaurant business they go to London first and eventually settle in France. When they open a restaurant, they quickly become competition for the fearsome and strong chef across the road, Madame Mallory. The book will be made into a film starring Helen Mirren this year.

New research shows men will shun a Valentine getaway in favour of a football match – can’t say we’re surprised ,to be honest.

According to dealchecker.co.uk, trips to Madrid and Lyon increased between 8th and 21st February last year, but it had nothing to do with romance.

Unfortunately, treating loved ones was not the reason most men went to either of these places; it had more to do with the fact that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs were playing there.

Thankfully, you don’t have to worry this February as there are no football matches clashing with the most romantic day of the year – your other half won’t have an excuse not to take you away now.

If you are one of the lucky ones you might end up in Salzburg, Barcelona or Valetta. While not traditionally romantic locations, they are currently the top three destinations for February 2014.

If someone decided to whisk us away to any of these, we would be more than willing to go… hint, hint.

We love going on holidays but they can be lethal for our New Year’s resolutions – and we all know how one cheat week can ruin all our good work. Forever.

Researchers at Cheapflights have compiled a very useful list of destinations that can make or break the most common resolutions.

Here’s how you can stay on the straight and narrow while still having an amazing week away from reality.

Resolution: “I will save money”

Make it – Budapest, Hungary
A weekend break for you and your partner (or BBF!) is still achievable, even if funds are tight. It’s possible to snag yourself  a two-night stay at a 3 star hotel available in Budapest for only €162. Now, where did we leave our passports…

Break it – New York City, USA
Although you may get a good deal on a ticket to the Big Apple, you’ll pay through the nose for everything else. The average cost of a meal for two in NYC is €65 and a two-night stay in a 3 star hotel comes in at €400.

Resolution: “Curb my coffee addiction”

Make it – Sri Lanka
Did you now that Sri Lanka produces 12% of the world’s tea? Not a coffee bean in sight, so if cutting down on the black stuff is what you promised yourself this year then head to this eclectic Asian destination and down all the Darjeeling you please.

Break it – Sấo Paulo, Brazil
If you’re trying to cure your addiction to coffee then clearly Brazil is the wrong place to head to as it produces 40% of the world’s coffee – eek! Coffee is a integral part of society and Brazilian culture, particularly Sấo Paulo.
