The aviation industry has long used the frisson of flirtation to sell flights, beginning with strict ‘glamour’ criteria for cabin crew on the first commercial flights and continuing through to  recent sexy advertising campaigns from airlines such as Virgin. Now a survey from flights comparison site Skyscanner has revealed our romantic associations with flying are still going strong with the trend for“flyrting” – the practice of passengers flirting whilst flying.

A secret hidey-hole in London’s Little Venice

You could be forgiven for channelling your inner child with a swashbuckling pirate fantasy during a night at The Cabin room at London’s enchanting 4-star Colonnade Hotel. With portholes, nautical décor and a comfy fine-linen-clad bunk bed, this cosy room-for-one, frequented by business travellers and the lucky offspring of the hotel’s salubrious clientele, is the ideal place to rest your head for those of you seeking a good night’s sleep – without giving your bank manager a coronary. ‘Chic, unique and boutique’ is the mantra of this luxury townhouse hotel – and boy, do they deliver. Built in 1865, The Colonnade, which has seen the likes of Sigmund Freud enter its doors, casts an imposing shadow among the palatial Victorian terraces of north London’s Little Venice – an area of rich history, boutique shops and, yes, canals.

As Pag Locals Say: “The War’s Over, So Let’s Party!”

Posted by Editor On November - 12 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

I thought Pag was something smoked by a person with a speech impediment, before I visited the stunning island in Croatia.

We were flown out to sample the island’s celebrated Club Papaya and survey ‘The Beautiful People’ in their natural habitat.

Rest when the baby rests, that’s the advice well meaning friends, relatives and midwives always seem to give to new mums. Yes, of course, it makes total sense.

The Hoxton, London

Posted by Editor On October - 7 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

A gloomy London day was suddenly brightened by walking into The Hoxton – Great Eastern Street’s urban lodge. From the modern, eclectic open plan reception/bar/restaurant area to the friendly, casual staff this hotel makes a great first impression.

Sri Panwa: place of dreams

Posted by Editor On August - 9 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Years may have gone by since I watched Fantasy Island as a kid but I never forgot the tropical location that exemplified luxury, where all your dreams could come true. Now when I think of the ultimate getaway I imagine infinity pools, private villas, evening yoga at sunset, pool parties featuring international DJs  and a friendly yet mysterious owner hoping to make all my desires a reality.

The Piscatorial Pedicure

If you have travelled through Turkey or the Far East you may well have come across the strange phenomenon of people sitting on the edge of a fish tank with their feet plunged in the water, a plethora of tiny fish swarming in and around their tootsies.
