It has been 20 years since the 100ml liquid restrictions were first introduced at airports, and many travellers are asking the same question: when will it finally come to an end? This week, Simon and Greg look at why the rule persists, the confusing inconsistency between airports, and what the future of aviation security actually looks like.
We also examine Gatwick’s second runway, which has officially been given the go-ahead, clearing the path for a massive £2.2 billion expansion. From the potential for cheaper flights and slot availability to the serious concerns raised by local residents regarding noise and air quality, we explore what the project really means for your future travel plans, and whether this long-debated expansion will actually deliver on its promises or simply bring years of disruption.
We also turn our attention to the growing disruption impacting your river cruises, as Europe’s hot, dry summer lowers water levels on major rivers. We investigate your essential rights: can you claim compensation if your luxury cruise unexpectedly turns into a coach trip, and which routes are still reliable choices for your next getaway?
As always, Simon and Greg answer your pressing travel questions, including the best areas to stay for a first-time trip to Istanbul and advice on flying long-haul with young children. Plus, we share a final tip on catching the upcoming eclipse in Spain.
