Saw Angela Rippon on the Breakfast show this morning. She was advertising the fact that Rip Off Britain Holidays starts again this morning at 11.00am and is on every morning this week.
She told of two items to be featured. Firstly, a couple on holiday in Turkey had their passports taken by the Hotel and the Hotel lost them. It cost them £900 in expenses including Thomson's flying them back late to a different airport and their car was at another one.
Second thing, a couple who took an economy flight with hand luggage only, no room for luggage in overhead storage, so they had their luggage put in hold and valuables where stolen. Insurance companies will not pay out if you allow valuables out of your sight in unlocked luggage. Angela was saying this situation will happen more and more as the Economy Flights don't want you to use the hold, but have not provided anymore space in the airplane.
So, 11.00am this morning.
