Back in April I travelled from London to Toronto and landed at Hamilton Airport rather than at Toronto Pearson. I didn’t even realise that I was not going to land at Pearson when I booked the flight. Turned out though that the experience was so much quieter and from landing to getting on the bus […]

Have you ever booked a flight with an airline you’ve never heard of before? Guilty! Back in October, after I returned from my amazing trip to Canada, I stumbled upon a Facebook post advertising flights back to North America for £200. Return!
