Travel can be tough. Ever wondered what other people are ranting about?

In this inteview Craig speaks with Darren Cronian of Travel Rants to find out what’s going on the world of UK travel rights and consumer issues. They discuss:

• Darren’s site and focus
• Short-term travel from the UK
• Single supplements on travel packages
• Budget airlines and charges
• Changes to law regarding UK travel insurance
• Hot locations for UK travellers in 2009

Travel in Britain

We finish the interview by speaking about UK travel destinations outside of London.

Darren suggests Leeds for a weekend city break with excellent shopping options. Nearby York is also popular with its historical elements. Both are just a short train journey from London, but book tickets in advance to avoid extortionate prices.

Use either as a gateway city to head further north to Glasgow or Edinburgh. Scotland’s largest city and its capital are both excellent places to explore.
