Never, ever buy food from one of these beach vendor guys. You know not where the stuff has come from, where it has been, who it has been touched by, and with what. By all means buy a watch from a beach vendor. You may regret it later, but it will not ruin your holliday by making you ill.

I have used a large "holdall" style Antler bag for some years. These bags are less prone to damage, but care is needed when packing to protect breakables. The bag also has wheels, and a useful waterproof section which will prevent spills/leaks into main part of bag. The weight is not bad, and I am generally pleased with it, but packing is not as easy as with a "rigid" case.
When you see how your bags are treated "behind the scenes" in the handling process at airports, expensive kit may not be such a good idea?

They may not weigh it, but they can. It will go through security scans. Just be sure that you carry nothing which is banned, liquids, knives etc, and be prepared to pay/ put in hold baggage/ discard. Annoyingly, as has been discussed in other parts of this forum, you can 'load up'with stuff when you have cleared check in and go to 'duty free'
Enjoy your flight.
Enjoy your flight.

If you think Thomson stonewall, try making a complaint to Easyjet. Only advice is, if you don't like them, don't use them.

I do suspect that Thomson have a buisness plan. I also suspect that this plan will provide lots of people with holidays that are good value for money.

Well IrisG, this looks like it could be fun! I totally agree with you, and once again add, if you don't like them, don't use them!

I ignore the"one room left" message. If I want the deal, I book it. If I am not sure, I leave it. If Thomson ever really annoy me, I will simply stop using them. No point supporting a company you do not trust or like. Many hotels etc in SS have rooms which they let privately, hence no need to use a tour operator. Many people argue that this the best way to visit SS. At the end of the day, it's your money, and you can spend how you wish.

Hi Sunshinegirl. I was not referring to you in my comment, and certainly meant no offence. As far as I am concerned, Thomson have always provided me with good service, otherwise I would not use them. I personally have had several excellent holidays at Voulas appartments, but this is no longer available via Thomson. There are always reasons for these changes, and Thomson will always try and reduce costs. So do our supermarkets, but this does not seem to attract the same adverse comment!

An alternative view would be that Thomson bring a lot of people tp SS, and bars restaurants etc benefit. Certainly SS (and I have been going there since 1995) would not be the same without them.

I read with interset all these posts re Thomson. It seems to me that if owners of hotels/appartments do not wish to use the advantages of dealing with this company, they have no reason to trade with them. If Thomson do not provide what the seller considers to be a reasonable rate, the seller should not enter into a contract with Thomson, and either use an alternative company, or advertise and handle bookings/transport themselves.
I would add that if anyone has a problem with Thomson, it seems to me that the best solution is not to use them, not moan because they do not feature the Hotel/appartment they wish to book.

Oh dear, I meant no offence and certainly can not give medical advice, but;
1. Alcohol can make you hallucinate
2. Antihistamine can cause drowsiness
3. If you are a pilot,bus/train/taxi/truck/or any other driver be aware of side effects of any tablets you take
4. Alcohol can be bad for you, even without other tablets
5. If you are on Holliday drowsiness may not be a problem
Hint- look at the antihistamine in Piriton, and then go to Asda and buy the same tablets for a fraction of the price.
