What is the time limit for claiming flight delay compensation?

  You have just found out that passengers are entitled to compensation in cases of flight delay, cancellation or denied boarding. And you wish you had known it a couple of years ago when you had to spend endless hours at the airport incurring extra expenses or maybe missed your flight? Perhaps, it is not too late to fight for your rights and file a claim! How many years after your delay can you claim flight compensation? The answer varies depending on your journey - the relevant departure, destination and airline. But bearing in mind you may still have a valid claim and an opportunity to assert your passenger rights and receive what is rightfully yours, it’s worth checking. Although it may seem like a complex, tiresome and time consuming process, don’t give up. We are here to support you through it by providing all the necessary information about your rights and even expert help when needed! Your flight delay compensation: time limits vary depending on the legislation. First and foremo

When do you get compensation for flight delays?

  According to Regulation 261 passed by the European Parliament, when passengers have a prolonged flight delay, cancellation or denied boarding they may be entitled to compensation. What determines your right to compensation? The duration of your delay has to be over three hours. Your delay’s length is the difference between your actual and your expected time of arrival.  It is all about Arrival Time, not departure. How to find out my trip's length? A very simple way to get a rough idea about your trip’s length would be to remember that in most cases flights shorter than 1500km take less than two hours. Flights between 1500km and 3500km are usually with a duration of two to four and a half hours. Flights that last longer than four and a half hours are usually longer than 3500 km. In most cases, air passengers don’t know the exact distance between their departure and landing point. The easiest method to check if you are eligible for flight delay compensation is to use our intuitive

10 Benefits of Travelling

  Why do people travel? The answer is simple: we love it! We enjoy the slow and peaceful breakfasts, the long walks, the new experiences, places, people and memories. They make us feel happy we are alive. No wonder! Travelling seems to combine most of the habits of healthy people. What are the advantages of travelling? Why is travelling important? Scientists have proven that travelling is good for both your body and your mind! Perhaps this is why we love it. Because we feel that a few minutes in the sun raise our vitamin D levels and improve our mood. Vitamin D has its health benefits too - it is good for our hearts. The importance of travel ranges from lower chances of heart disease to relieving stress and anxiety. On top of the health benefits, travel can also enhance your creativity, your sense of happiness and satisfaction. If you still need additional excuses/ reasons for why you should travel, read on to find out more about the main benefits of travelling the world! When you trav

What Makes a Good Travel Blog?

  Working at National Geographic is an awesome learning experience, in which I’m constantly surrounded by real talent, sound wisdom, unique minds and artistic people (I love it). Among the strong and creative team that I work with is one-of-a-kind internet princess Marilyn Terrell (@Marilyn_res), Chief Researcher at National Geographic Traveler and a host of many other things, like a mother to five children (and one squirrel). Marilyn makes sure every issue of the magazine stays 100% accurate and authentic, a responsibility that has taken her all across the infinite spans of the internet. Honestly, I don’t know anyone else in the world who knows the web like Marilyn knows it. I really am quite lucky to work so closely with Marilyn, and she is one of the many behind-the-scenes people that keep my blog happy, tidy, and fresh. This week I cornered Marilyn in her office and asked her to share some of her knowledge on all things travel blogging. Unfortunately, neither of us could make it to

Why travel bloggers are becoming more popular and important

Image
  Travel blogging has evolved into something more useful and important to how I spent my vacation.  One reason is obvious.  The internet has become more important in our lives each day.  New gadgets have made the internet more accessible.  Ipad, I-phone, and the expansion of wi-fi have made the internet mobile, and we can now get online almost anywhere.  Then there are the social networking platforms like twitter, facebook, digg, and stumbleupon to name a few, which make it incredibly easy to pass along good information. This is only part of the story.  The internet, wordpress, and social networking have made it easier for bloggers to share their story, but it does fully explain why we have gained more of an audience. In my opinion, the biggest reason for the increase in growth in travel blogs is due to a general fatigue in the alternative.  It seems that in the past travel writing can be categorized in two extremes.  On one extreme are writers who write for newspapers or magazines and

THE NEGATIVES OF TRAVELING (& HOW TO AVOID THEM)

 I came to this shocking revelation during our trip to the ecotourism paradise of Dominica last week, during our 13th hour of transport from our home in Atlanta to the gorgeous but remote Rosalie Bay Resort. We’d driven an hour from our house to Mary’s mom’s (where we dropped off our car) to the airport; flew for several hours via Delta to Puerto Rico (where we had a 2.5-hour layover); caught a 90-minute flight on a hot, overcrowded Liat Airlines shuttle to Antigua; a 30-minute flight on another hot, overcrowded Liat Airlines shuttle to Dominica; then an hour-long drive from the airport to Rosalie Bay.

9 MUST-KNOW DISADVANTAGES OF TRAVELLING ABROAD

 Don’t let these disadvantages put you off! They’re simply worth knowing about. Want my advice? Read them, keep them in mind, and go anyway… 1. Travel is Insanely Addictive There’s a reason people talk about the travel bug. It exists- I can vouch for it. You go away once, sample all the incredible opportunities and experiences that travelling offers, and simply get hooked. Now, this might not sound like a disadvantage. And in some ways it isn’t. In fact, I love how addictive travel is. But it has a funny way of affecting your ‘home plans’.  “ Notions of career and plans for family get side-lined in exchange for the next hit of foreign adventure you can get your hands on. And, like any addiction, it pangs when it isn’t indulged and has its own set of troubling withdrawal symptoms. Frankly, home life doesn’t feel the same (more on this later); life, for a time, isn’t as vibrant…the call of foreign lands is intense and all consuming. You’ll find yourself in places so beautiful, you’ll nev

Financial disadvantages of travelling

 1. The cost of travelling Planning for a big trip is amazing fun. But throw in an additional week on a safari in Kenya or a city break in Paris and the costs will start to mount. Costs include flights/transportation, hotels, food, entertainment/experiences and any equipment/clothes you need before you go. Because you are far from home, you might not know where the best outlets are and how to economise, so things could cost a lot more than you are used to. Before you know where you are, you find you need $'000 for your trip. 2. Missing out on earning at home The other side of the coin is earnings. While you are away you aren't doing your regular job, using your experience and training and earning a pay packet (of course this doesn't apply if you are taking regular annual leave). You could be in the uncomfortable position of burning through your savings at a manic rate with no income. 3. Finding a job while you are travelling If you are planning on working abroad there are q
