Eurostar review: Standard class from Ebbsfleet to Paris

23rd August 2018 by John

I’ve only travelled on the Eurostar once before. On that occasion, I travelled to Paris and back on a Standard Premier ticket. Eurostar offer three classes of travel; Standard, Standard Premier and Business Premier. They’re kind of equivalent to Economy, Economy Plus and Business class on a flight.

Could windowless planes bring down the cost of air travel?

18th June 2018 by John

Airfares are at an all time low, but further price reductions could be in store if windowless planes take off. Yep, you heard right - a plane without windows. The concept has been proposed by Emirates CEO Sir Tim Clark, who has recently introduced virtual windows for some first class passengers aboard the airline's new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The new virtual window shows a high resolution image of the outside of the aircraft via fibre optic cables, which are, apparently, better...
