AIRPORT PARKING AND HOTELS OFFERS FAMILY FRIENDLY ADVICE
Airport Parking and Hotels (APH) is offering parents a helping hand when travelling with children by compiling a table comparing the child-friendly facilities available on the top airlines offering travellers the chance to make sure they know exactly what’s included so that flight cost comparisons are done on a like-for-like basis.
Travellers can log onto www.aph.com/news/child_friendly_flights.htm and compare the pre-flight and in-flight activities available on British Airways, Ryanair, Easyjet, BMI, Excel Airways, First Choice, Thomas Cook, Thomsonfly and Virgin Atlantic ranging from family check-in facilities to carrycot allowances and child friendly in-flight entertainment.
APH offer you over 40 car parks at 16 UK Airports, competitive hotel rates that include parking and often only work out just a few pounds more than parking alone, and the opportunity to relax in the peace and quiet of comfortable and exclusive airport lounges.

Consumers can now buy car hire insurance separately and in advance of collection, saving more than 70 per cent on the daily insurance costs charged by most car hire companies. This heralds a new era for consumers and car rental charges - all thanks to questor-insurance.co.uk.
Car rental agreements traditionally include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to cover the hirer for any damage to the vehicle, and Theft Protection (TP) in the event of the car being stolen. However, the hirer is still exposed to an amount payable in the event of a claim. This amount, usually referred to as ‘the excess’, can make the hirer responsible for a payout of anything from €900 (£613) up to €2,500 (£1,704) which is then automatically deducted from the hirer’s credit card if damage is found when the hired vehicle is returned.
Car hire companies offer customers the option of buying additional insurance to cover this excess, usually costing up to £12 a day. Generally offered via the local agent on collection and not at the booking stage, this results in consumers being bullied into buying locally at more expensive rates.
The questor-insurance.co.uk policy protects against CDS and TP, from only £43.68 on an annual basis, or £2.98 on a daily basis and can be purchased quickly and easily online at www.questor-insurance.co.uk
Need passport pictures of your baby? Paspic.com makes it a snap Innovative website turns digital camera photos into approved passport prints
Website www.paspic.com has come up with a solution to help parents get approved passport photographs of their baby or child quickly and easily. Parents simply take a picture of their child at home using a digital camera, upload it to the Paspic website and within two working days they’ll receive four passport photographs, guaranteed to be approved for use.
Paspic.com provides easy to understand guidelines and online video tutorials explaining how to take a suitable picture. Parents can then take the picture at a time when their baby or child is relaxed using their own digital camera. Once uploaded to the Paspic site, the picture is formatted into a passport photo size and the image is centered so the head is in the middle of the frame. It is then examined – both by built in technology and by Paspic staff - to ensure it meets all the Passport Agency guidelines. If it’s acceptable, four pictures are printed and sent out within 48 hours. If the pictures don’t meet the guidelines, the individual is alerted and they can try again. Approved pictures are guaranteed to be accepted by the Passport Agency.
Paspic’s photographs are biometrically compliant with the UK, EU, AU and US Passport Office Authorities regulations. A set of four passport pictures costs £3.50 for UK, AU and/or EU style photos including free postage while a set of three US style photos including free postage costs £4.20.

The Ranger, which is made of canvas, but has a sturdy base that

collapsed and easily stored away. |
