Accommodation and travel can be the most expensive part of any trip, but with a bit of searching it is easy to find the most cost effective, though maybe not the most direct, train tickets and if booked far enough in advance there can be extra savings to be made. The same can be said for accommodation, if you are organised and know your travel dates in advance you can bag a room at a lower price. That is not to say the last minute trip is facing extinction, many hotels will cut their prices in the hope of filling spare rooms, so if you have steel nerves and know the right websites, wait until the day of travel to book.

While many of London’s top attractions can be quite expensive there are many activities that are free to take advantage of. Many of London’s top museums are free to enter and are the perfect way to spend a morning, afternoon or even a full day viewing the many exhibitions. With window shopping being one of the nation’s favourite pastimes why not indulge yourself and imagine what you would buy after that big lottery win whilst at Liberty’s, Selfridges or Harrods.

A trip to London would not be complete without taking in a show at the West End. Although this can seem expensive, matinee performances can often be a lot cheaper than seeing the same show on an evening. Popular current shows include Oliver! at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and The Phantom Of The Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre. To find the best ticket deals online, check out LondonTheatre.com and find the best showing for you.

Even your meals can be a lot cheaper than expected simply by keeping an eye out for early bird menus, or by having a quick look online for voucher codes and money off vouchers for top restaurants and bars.

The circular entrance foyer is decorated by bronze friezes which depict a variety of nude figures in exercise poses and were designed by sculptor Anthony Gibbons Grinling.

In 1950 the theatre was refurbished and the beautiful silver and gold decor was painted over in a garish red and a number of chandeliers were added, but this was thankfully rectified in 1987when the original decor was restored by Carl Toms.

The Cambridge Theatre has had a varied history of productions with a history of fairly short running productions and several dark periods. The theatre was also used as a venue for trade films shows towards the end of the 1930s and was also used in 1969 as a cinema.

Shows at the cinema have included Breath of Spring, starring Joan Sims, in 1958, Half a Sixpence starring Tommy Steele in 1963 and Little Me, starring Bruce Forsyth, in 1964.

The theatre had longer runs with Return to the Forbidden Planet, a musical based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, which ran from 1989 to 1991, and won the Olivier award for Best New Musical.

Cambridge Theatre has also been home to more modern productions including the rather controversial Jerry Springer – The Opera which ran from 2003 until 2005 and Derren Brown’s Something Wicked This Way Comes illusionary show.
The current show at the Cambridge Theatre is the American musical Chicago which is massively popular on both Broadway and in the West End and is currently celebrating more than 10 years on the stage.

When flying to southern France, it’s good to have a few cities or towns that you’d like to visit. Below are a few to consider as you plan your holiday to southern France.

Aquitane runs along the Atlantic coast and reaches all the way down toward Spain. You’ll discover anitquated villages and castles as well as great beaches for relaxing or surfing.

The Northern Languedoc regions has towns like Montpellier and of course more castles and history in the sorrounding regions. Many great French writers and artists spent time in southern France because of its enchanting qualities.

Bordeaux is a larger city that still has remants of an old Roman wall that surrounds part of the city. It’s a lively place with plenty of shopping and student life as well as old plazas around hidden corners throughout. Visit the wine regions of Bordeaux and enjoy some of the best red wine in the world.

So, if you’re planning to visit France, consider flying to southern France and be ready to fall in love with the beauty of this country.

For the past 20 years or more Brits have been visiting warm sunny climates like that in southern Spain. Budget airline companies realised that they could offer cheaper flights to major European cities if they removed sections such as first class and business class and turned the plane into purely economy class. This meant more passengers could fit on the plane. Because the destinations weren’t long hauls, and more seats were available, budget airlines could make more trips and carry more people thus providing deeper discounts on airfares.

These advantages of budget airlines are to this day a big success. Now, more than ever, people are able to take affordable holidays like never before. People who used to save up for a sunny trip to Europe maybe once every few years could now afford to take 2 holidays per year. It makes perfect sense if you think about it, and as a result many budget airlines hit the scene such as easyJet, Ryanair, and many others. The larger airlines couldn’t compete with the low fares and primarily stick to longer haul flights. So, before you take a holiday to Spain, France or Italy, be sure to compare the best deals from budget airlines first and you’re sure to find a great deal.

Economy class is great for people who don’t fly very often. If you travel abroad perhaps once every year or two for a holiday or to visit friends or family, economy is the most affordable way to fly. However, you typically have to wait in long queues to board the plane, are sandwiched between several other people, you have little leg room and long hauls can be quite discomforting.

Business class however is much more about the little luxuries during a flight that can make all the difference to an enjoyable journey. You don’t have to be a business person to fly business class however, this section of the airplane is geared toward the busy, travelling professional who requires comfort and the ability to work whilst flying.

Business class offers you large, comfortable seating which can even recline up to 180 degrees allowing you to sleep through most of the flight. You’ll have space to setup your laptop to play games or write emails whilst in the air and free drinks and a great menu makes you feel like a VIP. You’ll get to board the plane before economy class passengers allowing you to get settled before the masses of people board the plane. So, if you can afford to pay for business class and fly more often than most, consider uprgrading to business class for a much more enjoyable flying experience.

Whatever your reasons to visit this incredible city, getting there shouldn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of daily flights going to and from the 2 major airports: Charles de Gaulle and Orly. The best deals may be flights to Charles de Gaulle and depending on where you are coming from, there are a few budget airlines that can provide incredible deals throughout the year.

So, whether it’s a romantic getaway, a taste for the arts and culture, a fascination with history, or all the above, there really is no excuse not to seek cheap flights to Paris and enjoy this wonderful city. You can also find some fantastic deals on hotels on the outer arrondissements, or districts. For example, we stayed in a lovely 3 star hotel (really should have been 4 star) about 200 metres from the Eiffel Tower and it was incredibly cheap for the price we paid.

Most major airlines offer business class flights. As a matter of fact, many are thinking of doing away with first class flights and just creating a luxury business class sometimes called premium class.

Some of the features of business class flights include:

1) Firstly you don’t board with the other passengers. You board first which saves you time and hassle.

2) Whilst waiting for your flight there is an executive lounge which is much more comfortable and private

3) The seating is the most notable difference. Each seat, sometimes called cradle seats are wider, much more comfortable and many recline between 160 and 180 degrees so you can take a nice long rest on long haul flights

4) Free drinks and a better menu

5) Better entertainment including audio and video, DVDs, etc.

Overall, the features of business class are designed to provide comfort as well as the ability to work so that business people can get more done whilst spending hours flying to the next meeting or conference.
