This summer, adventure travel company Off the Map Travel is debuting a unique program that will allow travelers to spend a night on a glacier and search for Norway’s polar bears.
As part of the Night on a Glacier program, guests will stay high up in the Arctic Circle at the island of Svalbard’s Nordenskiold Lodge located at the foot of the blue glacier. From Longyearbyen, the arrival point on the island, guests begin their Arctic journey with a summer dogsledding expedition before joining a guide on a Zodiac boat cruise around the coast to search for walrus, whales and polar bears on the way to the Nordenskiold Lodge. The adventure continues at the lodge with a guided glacier climb to the source, kayaking, and a photo walk where a chance for wildlife encounters is possible around every turn. In the evening, guests will have meals at the lodge, and can partake in a traditional sauna experience, or enjoy more wildlife viewing from the comfort of the lodge.
“This is a spectacular opportunity for adventure lovers,” said Jonny Cooper, founder of Off the Map Travel, in press materials. “Svalbard is one of the world’s best spots for seeing wildlife, with May to September the optimal months as the snow has melted. And at the expedition lodge, you’ll enjoy all manner of amenities and comforts with the chance to see polar bears.”
Night on a Glacier programs will be offered May through September 2019 and are customizable to meet the interests and needs of the participants. An example 5-day itinerary would cost $8,353 pp dbl, including all transfers, three nights in Longyearbyen on a B&B basis, two nights at Nordenskiold Lodge exclusively booked on a full board basis, kayaking, Zodiac boat safari, glacier climb, and summer dogsledding.
For more information, visit offthemap.travel. Other unique experiences offered by Off the Map Travel include staying in an igloo in the Arctic and hunting for the northern lights while on a floating barge.

We enjoyed our stay at the European Guesthouse B&B. I chose it on-line partly because of its reputed good, big breakfasts and relatively reasonable price. Our room was pleasant, with windows on two sides and a comfortable bed. We were on a quiet residential street, an easy 7-block walk from the beach. Our proprietors were friendly and helpful; enjoying our stay was important to them. We had reserved a room with shared bath, but when we got there they gave us a room with private bath at no extra cost, as there was one available. The breakfast lived up to its reputation: my friend cooked his own eggs, bacon, toast, and hash browns, and I enjoyed the various breads, cereal, fruits and yogurt. Every day there was a big bowl of fresh fruit, and also cut up strawberries, grapefruit, and melon. There were sweet rolls, cold cuts, hot dogs and condiments available, and one day there was pancake batter. The fruit bowl and sweet rolls were available all day. We’d go back.

The boarding process in Chiang Mai was horrible. Gate change last minute left me with all our carryons and my husband in a wheelchair. No one came for him….. Inconsiderate and uncaring. Airport was crowded and no one cared….
Better explanation of where to line up when checking luggage.
No electrical plugs or USB plugs. No lounge at KKC airport.
Thai Smile must be the only airline in the world that still doesn’t allow mobiles and iPads to be used during taxi, takeoff and landing. No inflight service due to COVID but a little snack and water handed out as we left the plane. I also like the deplaning by row, I wish more airlines did this
Pros: "We forgot to pack our liquid products into the check in baggage. After we went through the security check, we brought the liquid products back to the boarding pass counter, our baggage had already been sent to downstream. But the staffs was very helpful, they provided a box, packed the liquid products for us and checked it in as the second luggage. This solved our headache and it was a huge deal for us, making us smile. Thanks to your crew/staffs again."
Cons: "Providing some snacks would be helpful when getting off the board."
Cons: "We got drinking water after landing. Would be better to provide some snacks on the way out."
Pros: "On time, clean smooth ride. Landed early!"
Pros: "The crew was the most expert crew I have seen. I fly thousands of miles every year. Their alertness to safety was unprecedented for me. In Yangon the counter personnel were equally excellent, safety-conscious and personable."
Cons: "It would be really nice not to have to board a bus in BKK to be shuttled to my next flight."
Cons: "I understand that the crew was probably tired, but I believe they can be friendlier."
Pros: "Good and being on time"
Cons: "So far so good for its price"
Pros: "Great services"
Cons: "Great seat and smooth flight"
Cons: "Excellent price generous luggage allowance."
Pros: "Super cool light meal in a little bag. Best budget airline I have flown."
Pros: "Seamless boarding and deviating."
Cons: "Thai Smole seats offer the least legroom in my experience. Very narrow."
Cons: "My booking name TANG MENGLY Why ticket show LY MENGTANG My mom can not get the fly we bought anther ticket for 140 dollar"
Pros: "Nothing apart from kind crew"
Cons: "Food was really not good at all! Very poor The inside of plane was not clean!"
Pros: "On-time departure and arrival."
Cons: "Nothing to complain about."
Pros: "we had only an hour to get through immigration and connect to another flight...with a child in tow. There was an airline rep that met us at the plane and drove us to the next gate and directed us to a quick immigration line. Fantastic!"
Pros: "friendliness of staff"
Cons: "Entertainment program was boring, leg space limited"
Cons: "No online check-in available. Waited very long for someone to show up at check-in desk a few hours before the flight."
Pros: "Comfort and ease of boarding always makes Thai airlines a great trip. The staff is so helpful and friendly."
Cons: "There wasn’t any tv to watch and not by way of magazines either."
Pros: "Good services"
Cons: "Good service and comfortable"
Pros: "The relaxed atmosphere and attentiveness of the flight attendants"
Cons: "The distance of the terminal to the aircraft"
Cons: "We did not receive any information as to why our flight was late."
Pros: "We arrived safely"
Cons: "They kept canceling flights. Bad service would not fly again."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and helpful, boarding was easy, flight was smooth"
Cons: "No entetainment, food just a pretty untasty sandwich"
Pros: "Great short flight. Flight attendants were really hustling to get everyone served and picked up after on such a short flight."
Cons: "When I booked with Thai Smile direct, the booking somehow added insurance. I know I did not choose insurance. Working with AMEX ;to dispute those charges. Be careful if you book direct with Thai Smile."
Pros: "friendly, professional crew"
Pros: "I would highly recommend flying with this airline. It was a very efficient process and the staff was not only helpful but very nice."
Cons: "There's only one down side of this flight. The Lucknow international airport terminal is downright embarrassing. There are four or five desks to handle passport control. That's fine, but none has a label on it as to who should be at which. NonIndians should go to the extreme left one. Then they have one xray machine that all arrivals have to put their carry-ons through while the previous flight is trying to put all their heavy luggage (they are most likely all male workers coming from the Gulf). Then there is a small, rickety belt with everyone crowded around for the luggage. Well, there are two belts, but only one is functional. And to top it off, most of the luggage carts have at least one broken wheel! Amazing and embarrassing when arriving from any terminal almost anywhere! Lucknow, you have a lovely domestic terminal, wake up and build an international one! Shurum ki bat ha!"
Pros: "Love the AirBus 320, the service, to get all the passengers a sandwich in an hour flight is amazing! Luggage delivery is amazingly fast!"
Cons: "Would like to have later flights in the evening so connections to overseas flights at BKK are easier. Otherwise, nothing!"
Pros: "There was no line to check in and the attendant very easily accepted our luggage to check in with no weight, size, or payment issues Was pleasantly surprised to get a snack box with a sandwich and beverage on such a short flight LOVED the online videos (practical jokes program), where no headphones were needed to enjoy"
Cons: "Fish sandwich wasn't my favorite"
Pros: "On boar meal was great. Customer service was outstanding!"
Cons: "They don't offer more flights!"
Pros: "what's not to like. Free checked bag, free food, sandwich and bottle of water, soda and hot coffee and tea at no charge. All of the cheaper budget airlines charge for everything including checked bags, drinks and food. It's only a few baht/ US dollars more than the other airlines but well worth it for what you get in return compared to the other airlines such as Air Asia!"
Cons: "Nothing that I can think of."
Pros: "Quick flight"
Cons: "40 minute delay"
Pros: "Great service, very amicable staff, excellent plane"
Pros: "Awesome service, great staff, amazing trip"
Pros: "Friendly, well presented staff. It appears that most of the crew on the two Thai Smile flights I was on spoke a bit of English which was a plus. Clean and comfortable seating along with a decent meal."
Cons: "I would have appreciated a vegetarian option for the meal."
Cons: "The crew had a poor attitude and even rude, I asked to move to get past the food trolley as my 4 year old son needed the toilet and they just said wait, they would only have to move 2 metres. We were sitting directly behind upper class but were not offered the chance to use the forward toilet even though there was no one sitting in that section. They seemed to have an attitude problem and not at al like Thai International who are excellent. will never fly again with Thai smile."
Pros: "The cost of upgrading to business class was very reasonable for a flight of that duration. Everything was stellar - service, food, drinks and access to the airport lounge. The meals were among the best I've had on any flight."
Cons: "The guy snoring. His snoring was literally louder than the noise from the jet engines and easily rose to levels that penetrated our noise cancelling headsets!!"
Cons: "I don't want to recommend to others to use this flight following reasons: (1) I can't use Thai lounge with star alliance gold card. (2) Thai air sold the Ticket, but boarding ticket issued by Thai smile. (3) a ground staff ( reissue staff)is unfriendly particularly those who is at Thai office, airport. (4)Thai smile is a low cost air line. So Thai air shouldn't sell this kind of ticket It hurts fame of Thai airs hospitality."
Pros: "Very flight and check-in process"
Pros: "Aircraft size was big for short haul"
Cons: "Not much to dislike"
Pros: "The gate agent saw how tall my husband was and upgraded us to the exit row for more leg room which was awesome. I was feeling a little sick and the flight attendants were great to get me water and make sure I was doing ok."
Cons: "I don't like fish and they offered a fish sandwich but it was only an hour long flight so I was fine with it."
Pros: "Crew were friendly and did a great job in the short time they had."
Pros: "Check in was so easy and smooth. Boarding was as well!"
Cons: "I appreciated the food that they gave out, but it wasn't very tasty."
Pros: "Overall everything was good except meal option"
Cons: "Not having vegetarian snack or meal"
Cons: "The flights were delayed for both times of the round trip from BKK to Phuket and Phuket to BKK. Wasted 2 days as we got stranded in the airport. Unacceptable! Flight to Yangon from Bangkok was cancelled and they didn't send any notification to inform us. Horrible customer service. When transferred the flight to Thai Airways flight we were very rudely treated by the counter agent. For 5 hours of wasted time they "accomodated" us with 350 baht ($10) vouchers and when asked to provide us with free extra bag check-in the manager said sorry we can't do that. No resolution no compromise NO SMILE! Above average airline price with terrible service, expect this to happen to you too."
Cons: "We were impressed that they served food"
Pros: "The prompt service of the staff and comfort of the plane."
Cons: "Warm snacks instead of cold pastry."
Cons: "Flight was delayed 1 1/2 hours for tire change. Stuff happens."
Cons: "Seats recline too much making difficult to get in or out because of the seat in front of you"

Pros: "The Crew was very Good and yes the seats were comfortable."
Cons: "I think they did the great Job"
Pros: "Everything was great"
Cons: "More choice of movies, and more choice of translations languages for movies. Because longs hauliers need a lot of entertainment. Thank you very much for asking for our comfort"
Pros: "The crew was super nice and informative."
Cons: "The food was just ok, but not really expecting a 5 star cuisine."
Pros: "Comfortable seat, good entertainment options"
Cons: "A specially hospitality and food which served in plane was excellent"
Cons: "Krabi airport is terrible. Cramped waiting area. Boarding gates too narrow for capacity. Aircon not coping. Worst flight information I have ever encountered."
Pros: "new plan and equipments are good"
Pros: "Crew were great"
Cons: "Food in economy could be more Thai and tasty but nicely served and efficient"
Pros: "Everyone was very nice and hospitality was great."

Pros: "All well arranged. Friendly and helpful crew. Food apprppriate for the trip. Logistics ok. Balue for money."
Pros: "Flight was full, but generous seat pitch and efficient crew made the difference!"
Pros: "Efficient and friendly staff."
Cons: "Bad choice of in-flight entertainment."
Pros: "Just like on previous domestic flight experience, I love how Thai Airways is able to promote and provide for customer comfort and service on such short flights - something that US airlines are so incapable of providing. Not only was the A350 comfortable and spacious, the fact that they also served a meal on such a short flight is so much appreciated."
Pros: "The staff were extremely helpful boarding me even when my previous domestic flight arrived late and I was able to board and check in my luggage half hour before take off time"
Pros: "Whole experience was excellent"
Pros: "The cabin crew was helpful and excellent service. The food was exceptionally good."
Pros: "seats are comfortable, service is mediocre"
Cons: "Boarding in Brussels is always a hassle. The plane is never ready for boarding and one has to wait long time to access the plane. They start boarding but do not open the doors of the plane so everybody has to wait long in the tunnel to access the plane. It would be better not to start boarding."
Pros: "the crew was professional and friendly and you get alcohol on the flight."
Cons: "no issues"
Pros: "On time"
Pros: "Crew was very service oriented!"
Cons: "The legroom was horrible."
Pros: "Stewards were very polite and helpful. Even offered me extra meal without request. Clean, comfortable aircraft unlike most South East Asian aeroplanes. I recommend THAI Airways."
Cons: "Seat wasn't spacious enough but that is the case with almost all airlines if you are flying economy class. Food was prepared for Asian taste only. I guess that is understandable."
Pros: "quick flight"
Pros: "great service"
Cons: "Tight seat space."
Pros: "Absolutely great"
Pros: "Plane arrived on time and service was good!"
Cons: "Departure was delayed by 45 minutes so upon reaching Bangkok airport, I had to literally run to catch my connecting flight."
Pros: "I love the food especial Thai food. The air craft crew are very helpful."
Cons: "My friend request for extra ice cream and the crew rejected her with very loud tune."
Pros: "Flight staff friendly and helpful"
Cons: "Long wait at checkout in. Slow."
Pros: "Forgot my tablet in the pocket of my seat on my flight from Bangkok to Kathmandu and didn't notice until I was packing to return 5 days later. When I checked in to return to Bangkok, they had me flagged in the system for a lost item. Not only did they have my tablet but everyone from the airline staff to airport security knew about the incident and was happy to get my tablet back to me."
Pros: "Punctuality and service"
Pros: "Food was good. Seat ok and check-in done promptly."
Cons: "Crew, ground and air, could be a bit more friendly but it was acceptable. Arrival was later and baggage handling a bit slow too. Bag was well handled."
Pros: "good service, good food"
Cons: "seats are getting older."
Cons: "Long baggage wait time"
U could offer everyone a drink ,juice or water.. coffe or tea ...ur air craft isn't a flea market ,where someone has to buy a tea or water!!
Instead of the flight attendants talking to each other they should have been monitoring the passengers. The person beside me took a phone call literally 30 seconds before the plane landed. As we were going down the runway ( from landing ) a person in the row in front of me and behind me made phone calls; CRAZY
Pros: "The crew was excellent, especially the stewardesses."
Cons: "Their wifi service is ridiculously expensive $32 and it doesn't work."
Cons: "Flight delayed. Please be punctual if can’t be earlier."
Pros: "Air Crew was polite. Ground crew was the slowest and most inefficient group of people I've witnessed. There'd be 3 people working, but 2 of them would be talking to each other, letting the queues build up."
Cons: "Ground experience was pretty terrible at the airport. Most likely I'd avoid flying through here again."
Pros: "Crew were good"
Cons: "Flight was late."
Cons: "Flight with Scoot are not very well organized. for as large a fleet and number of flight locally should be better. no onboard entertainment nor refreshments. Staff not very personable either."
Pros: "Friendly crew. Toilets kept clean. Nice ambience with the cabin lighting."
Cons: "My seat had a broken recliner button. Seat would recline but not stay reclined. If I sat up, seat would come up with me."
Pros: "we were on time and landed ahead of schedule."
Cons: "nowhere to store our cabin luggage"
Pros: "The food was good. The service very good. Check in was so fast."
Cons: "Internet charge was very expensive and electrical outlet could not hold my charger. It kept falling out"
Cons: "Allow us to upgrade class"
Pros: "Head rest not comfortable. Short distance okay not long one."
Cons: "Plane is old i think. Take off and landing time plane some shaky and sound not pleasant."
Cons: "Music or movie will be good."
Pros: "Extremely rude."
Cons: "I got sick on the flight from some food poisoning and the crew acted put out when I asked for some water."
Cons: "You can choose your seat but when you pay you can choose a seat and I don’t like this"
Pros: "There is nothing to say this is a no frills airline and that is what you get. Departure was on time and arrival was also on time. Food on any airline isn’t good at least on airline i fly. The important thing is getting there safely and this airline company does that."
Pros: "Crew on Singapore airlines were very helpful, friendly and accommodating."
Cons: "They had 0 entertainment on an 8 hour flight. Tv turned off. One small meal after 20 minutes of flying. Would not fly with scoot again."
Cons: "I didn't realise I was going to be in such a poor airline after booking through the Singapore Airlines website. There was hardly any space, food options were limited, there was no entertainment, they even charged for water! Equal worst airline with jetstar"
Pros: "on time and departed early"
Cons: "none. is budget airline"
Pros: "Nice aircraft, on time departure and arrival"
Cons: "reclining seats only in business class, not lay flat. pay for everything except the bathroom"
Cons: "Flight crew’s attitude. The fact that there was no overhead space and the crew didn’t Check additional bags. Had to stove the bags u def the seat and there was no room to stretch my legs. The flight crew had the most pathetic attitude and was rude beyond imagination."
Cons: "Boarding process Delayed flight"
Cons: "We were given just one very small water about 150ml and told we have to pay if we need more water. Restriction on providing drinking water in Business class seems unfair. Please reconsider"
Cons: "Everything but the price. Worst customer service ever!!!"
Cons: "Temperature in cabin too warm on outgoing flight"
Cons: "It was moving a lot!!! :\"
Pros: "previous flight arrived a bit late but captain did his best to make up the time"
Pros: "The cost was cheap"
Cons: "There wasn't much room for someone who is 6'4''"
Pros: "Crew was cordial, helpful and patient."
Cons: "There was absolutely no complimentary service at all, a bit unusual compared to flights we've taken in the past (domestic and international). No offer of free water, what's up with that?!?! There was no entertainment on board for an overnight flight, no blanket, no pillow."
Pros: "The crew was really nice, saw them help several people put their luggage in the overhead bin."
Cons: "There was absolutely no complimentary service at all, a bit unusual compared to flights we've taken in the past (domestic and international). No offer of free water, what's up with that?!?! There was no entertainment on board for an overnight flight, no blanket, no pillow. And on top of that we paid too much to check in a bag when we arrived at the airline desk because we didn't include it through our Kayak booking. Had we known there was a method to follow, we would have to avoid the excessive fee."
Cons: "This was a return flight I was taking. But even though I paid for a bag when booking, Kayak only booked the bag on the flight over. It there for cost me $48 to book the bag on at the airport one way back. For some reason when I was paying they could not take for the full amount on my CC and so I had to go change money as $8 had to be paid cash (very strange). The flight was very uncomfortable. I could go into detail but now I’m just ranting. Not happy. Won’t be doing that again."
Cons: "Going from one hot country to another so had no need for a winter coat... it was so cold on that flight I caught a cold"
Cons: "I could not get on time at airport for check in, because the train got stuck 25min. When I got the counter 45min. Before the flight leaves, they told me that the flight is closed and they can not do anything to help me!!!"
Pros: "We were given the opportunity to bid for an upgrade which was totally worth it! We will definitely fly with Scoot again."
Cons: "The seat and tray table is greasy and dirty and there are two cracked holes in the arm rest!"
Pros: "Early alert that flight was going to be 5 hours late."
Cons: "No online check- in. Very slow check in at airport. Vouchers provided for food at airport - only problem was we couldn’t find a place that would take them. Boarding was painfully late and slow. As we arrived in the early hours of the morning the cost of taxis were double the normal price. Still no compensation as promised by the airline when they initially advised us of the late flight. Could do a lot better."
Pros: "On time. Service on board simple. Crews are friendly"
Pros: "Nothing other than punctuality."
Cons: "After boarding started there was no Aircon the flight was boiling hot and hugely suffocated. Also so many mosquito surely need better service."
Pros: "It's a no frills airline! Plane on time, clean, arrived on time. What more do you want?"
Pros: "Friendliness of crew and prompt boarding"
Cons: "Delays and sudden change in gate(thou its not the airline fault)"
Pros: "We arrived early."
Cons: "No one at the boarding gate to allow passengers that paid for early boarding to board. They were already calling row numbers by the time anyone showed up. The wall in front of the bulkhead means you don't actually get more leg room by paying for the bulkhead seat. I wouldn't bother again. You'll probably have more room by putting your legs under the seat in front of you. Why do they still make you turn off your iPad on takeof? The other airlines have already stopped this silly practice that doesn't nothing to increase safety. Baggage delivery was too slow."
Pros: "Excellent budget airline! Yes, amenities are cut out, there is little leg room, and it's cheaper to pay for your luggage when purchasing your flight ticket, but this is the point of a budget airline this keeps your flight ticket prices low. Adding on seat choices was only a few dollars more and included a delicious meal. You can purchase food and drinks/water on board. Tip: fill up a water bottle or purchase water in airport gate area before boarding plane to save money. Crew is very friendly and helpful. Flight offered purchase of Singapore SIM card with so many GBs for a great price - $15SGD."
They lost my luggage. Doesn't exactly make the experience great.
Pros: "Excellent value"
Cons: "Less adders to the base fare"
Cons: "Thye assigned me a seat that didn’t recline even though there were seats available that did."
Pros: "Crew and comfort just fine for a 2-hour hop from Penang to Singapore"
Pros: "They did their jobs."
Pros: "I like schedule on time and the arrangement on board"
Cons: "I travelled Korean JeJu Air budget airlines. The service may be Jetstar can consider, they give a small cup of water as a welcome drink & helping passengers loads luggage onboard. Even it was budget airline but no compromise with passengers service."
Pros: "Nice and pleasant service during the flight."
Cons: "Nothing much to ask for."
Pros: "Extra charge for luggage is so expensive even you already paid for extra luggage allowance."
Cons: "Check in process is not so user friendly. A lot of missing sign for the next step."
Pros: "Pleasant flight. Did not have any food but there were many options."
Cons: "Having some sort of on board entertainment would have been nice. The A320 had none."
Cons: "3 hour delay without s good explanation....after arrival in Bangkok wait 30 minutes before leaving aircraft....madness..."
Pros: "My seat was changed to a place where I don't have space to store my backpack."
Pros: "The check in process took over an hour as evidently my payment for extra baggage was "pending" which made no sense - I had to wait at the check-in counter and then go into back room to talk w a supervisor who told me I needed to pay more for my baggage - It was a ridiculous process and was over an hour - makes me think the budget price not worth it for such a bad process"
Pros: "The only positive of the flight, was that they accidentally gave me exit row seating."
Cons: "I didn't like that I paid almost $100 on bag fees for one basically empty check bag. They do not offer anything to drink on the flight at all. Not even the un-bottled water. If you want anything to drink you have to pay them for it. The entire flight all they did was try to pedal their over priced junk. The best part of the experience was getting off the plane and knowing that I won't ever fly with them again."
Pros: "Cheerful cabin crew"
Cons: "Not much legroom"
Pros: "On time. Crew nice and polite."
Cons: "Seats are comfortable but seat speace not so comforz"
Pros: "Board on time ."
Cons: "Crew members are not polite and the way she handle seating like , don’t know how to manage . Especially check in counter . Even though we check in as a group , she assign us like a mass ."
Pros: "Quick boarding"
Cons: "No leg room what so ever. They charge you for water and snacks. A two hour flight from Singapore to Bangkok and no water, nothing. It makes you realize just how little they value you as a customer, you’re just a way to make extra money. A one hour flight on Thai Smile and I got more leg room, water, a sandwich and a desert."
Pros: "Getting off the plane."
Cons: "Can't believe I paid $4 for a bottle of water after buying a ticket, paying extra for checked bags, and had to sit on the tarmac for 45 minutes waiting to take off."
Cons: "2.5 hour delay. Not much legroom but that is too be expected."
Pros: "I wish jet star airline fix my suitcase wheel and stitch the ripped the top of the material"
Cons: "Poor luggage handling charge me 60 Australian dollar"
Pros: "Timely and professional crew."
Cons: "Seats too tight. Have to pay for beverages or water."
Cons: "Staff helping with check-in did not feel very qualified"
Pros: "The cost was efficient."
Cons: "The food is terrible and overpriced."
Pros: "I liked that they are on time and the flight crew is so diverse. On board, we had multilingual attendants."
Cons: "Well, not much since I get what i paid for. Probably I'll comment on the uniforms of the crew. It'll be much cooler if it were white, not black with orange and red finishes on it."
Pros: "Flight on time and help was very good"
Pros: "On time, great cabin crew and clean aircraft. Smooth flight."
Cons: "Checkin at the SIN airport is dysfunctional. Especially for the hub city of Singapore. Go various places and to pay for a bag the only had one person at the service desk. There was a long line of people going to various places with various issues and they only staffed the service desk with one person. Consitently that person has always been rude and non emotional. JetStar either needs to replace those staff are double if not triple the help at the service desk."
Pros: "The price until we had to pay high prices for luggage."
Cons: "It is a budget airline and it was transportation. It would have been nice to have some leg room, but I did't pay for any of that."
Cons: "They charge for everything. Including your check in luggage."
Cons: "Their 7kg TOTAL allowance for bags is RIDICULOUS. Only airline I have traveled with that enforces this so unfairly on a flight that wasn't even as low cost as they advertised. Not even the cheapest european airlines like Ryanair or the asian ones like Airasia become so pushy on this. I was forced to pay $40 for a carry on bag because of an annoying security officer who didn't even worked for Jetstar while I was going through security. What's the security risk there? On top of that to my surprise I saw people on my flight carrying 2 or more bags with evident overweight according to this unfair policy. So the rule is random and note applied evenly. Be careful if flying with them. Besides, the aircraft was cheap, uncomfortable and unpleasant."
Pros: "Everything went well. The crew was friendly and the flight flew on time."
Cons: "You must pay attention on what kind of ticket you bought, because some kinds have no baggage included to drop, so you must pay extra money to be allowed to do so (and it's really expensive if you do it last hour at the counter)."
Cons: "I tried to book luggage online but it didn't let me do it. I ended up having to shelve out more money at the airport. It is hilarious that the luggage cost more than the airline tickets. The airline staff at the counter laughed and asked me why didn't I do it online? Well I tried and I kept on crashing on their website."
Pros: "Uneventful flight, comfortable for sleeping for an early morning flight"
Cons: "Check in was busy and disorganized. Expensive luggage charge"
Pros: "Excellent for short flight, good fare price,safe flight"
Pros: "On time. Nice crew"
Cons: "Crowded seats. Not enough legroom. Paying extra for"
Cons: "I booked a flight from SG to TLV via BKK. Jet star was my first flight. the confirmation mail had one booking number that wasnt JetStar. i coulnt use online check-in."
Cons: "The small size for seating"
Pros: "great airline, short flight, fast boarding. overall good."
Pros: "That we landed safely and it only was two hours of tiny seat torture."
Cons: "The seat was different as they changed the plane, the hidden check luggage costs in airport, limited to 15kg. No way to pay fixed bag costs, friend booked bag online for much cheaper and for 20kg, in person they charged me $60 for 15kg. The seats were super small and uncomfortable, no drinks were served, not even water was served."
Pros: "Food choixes, terminal of Changi"
Cons: "Little legroom"
Cons: "Seat too cramp! Hahahaha Overall is still great!"
Pros: "Great price."
Cons: "No food, no drink, no entertainment, no checked baggage allowance."
Pros: "That I was able to have 3 other traveling passengers seated together which was nice."
Cons: "Meals purchased on board should be able to use credit card payment. Not everyone has the right currency. I saw a foreign trying to buy a meal but was on flight without food or drink because he couldn't pay by credit card."
Pros: "Was forced to purchase another ticket on another airline because Jetstar and Kayak could not give me a valid ticket number prior to departure. I will never use either company again."
Cons: "See above"
Cons: "I have booked with Delta, ANA, Kuwait Air, Air Asia and Philipines Airline and none needed to see physical credit card. My girlfriend was not able to join me because of this unreasonable request. I offered to send copy of card with passport but they would not help. I have put a dispute with credit card as they would not let her on plane."
Cons: "My luggage arrived fine but the person I was flying with did not receive her luggage in Bangkok and has still not received it. This interfears with our travel plans and forces us to spend extra time and money waiting in Bangkok for her luggage to be found. Rather annoying"
Pros: "I liked the idea of potentially going to Bangkok."
Cons: "I ordered Kayak / JetStar's flight insurance and failed to read the fine print. I was unable to take the flight due to shifting employment. Even after paying all that money to be covered in case of cancellation, they didn't allow me to cancel the flight. Therefore, the flight was poor because I wasn't on it. Bangkok would have been nice..."

Stayed 1 night September '11. Supposed to be a special stopover but very disappointed. Double room with view of garden was 30 years out of date - pine and avocado! Schweiz is expensive by any standards but often told "but you do get good value for your money". This is just not so. Some exceptions but making money for little effort seems to be a national pre-occupation.
Pleasant enough location but no connection to nearby Golf Club as title taken to imply.
Restaurant and bar/patio areas very acceptable and service here fine. Lady proprietor should not be in the hotel or any other business dealing with the general public.

Concept, design, implementation:
I. Scope of Application
(1) These General Terms and Conditions apply in particular to contracts for the rental of hotel rooms for lodging purposes, as well as to all other services and deliveries provided by the hotel for the customer.
2) The subletting or reletting of the rooms provided as well as their use for purposes other than accommodation require the prior written consent of the hotel.
3. the customer’s terms and conditions shall only apply if this has been expressly agreed in writing in advance.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
II.conclusion of contract,- partner; limitation period , reservations
1. the contract is concluded by the hotel’s acceptance of the customer’s application. The hotel is free to confirm the room reservation in writing.
1.1 The hotel may agree two forms of reservation with the customer:
a.) 6:00 p.m. reservation: The customer must check into his room by 6:00 p.m.. After this time, the hotel may sublet the room to other persons.
b.) Guaranteed reservations: The hotel guarantees the customer a room of the desired category for the booked period, regardless of the customer’s arrival time.
and for the booked period. As a rule, such a reservation is guaranteed only upon prior communication of the credit card number or upon written resevation.
2. contracting parties are the hotel and the customer. If a third party has ordered on behalf of the customer, he shall be liable to the hotel together with the customer as joint and several debtors for all obligations arising from the hotel accommodation contract, provided that the hotel has received a corresponding declaration from the third party.
All claims against the hotel shall become statute-barred one year after the beginning of the regular statute of limitations according to §199 para. 1 BGB (German Civil Code). Claims for damages shall become statute-barred after five years, irrespective of knowledge. The shortening of the statute of limitations does not apply to claims based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
III. services, prices, payments, offsetting
(1) The hotel is obligated to provide the rooms booked by the customer and to render the agreed services.
The customer is obligated to pay the prices of the hotel applicable or agreed upon for the provision of the rooms and the other services used by the customer.
This also applies to services and expenses of the hotel to third parties arranged by the customer.
The agreed prices include the respective statutory value-added tax. If the period between the conclusion and fulfillment of the contract exceeds four months and if the price generally charged by the hotel for such services increases, the hotel may increase the contractually agreed price by a reasonable amount, but by no more than 5%.
4. prices may also be changed by the hotel if the customer subsequently requests changes in the number of rooms booked, the hotel’s services or the length of stay of the guests and the hotel agrees to this.
5.invoices of the hotel without due date are payable within 10 days from receipt of the invoice without deduction. The hotel is entitled to call in accrued receivables at any time and to demand immediate payment. In the event of late payment, the Hotel shall be entitled to charge the applicable statutory interest on arrears, currently 8% or, in the case of legal transactions involving a consumer, 5% above the base interest rate. The hotel reserves the right to prove higher damages. 6.
The hotel is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment or security deposit upon conclusion of the contract or thereafter, taking into account the legal provisions for package tours. The amount of the advance payment or the payment dates can be agreed in writing in the contract.
The customer may only offset or reduce a claim of the hotel with an undisputed or legally binding claim.
IV. withdrawal of the customer (i.e. cancellation) / non-utilization of the hotel’s services.
1. in the case of rooms not used by the customer, the hotel shall credit the income from renting the rooms to other parties as well as the saved expenses.
2. the hotel is free to demand the contractually agreed remuneration and to make a lump-sum deduction for saved expenses. In this case, the customer is obligated to pay at least 90% of the contractually agreed price for overnight accommodation with or without breakfast, 70% for half-board and 60% for full-board arrangements. The customer is free to prove that the above claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the amount claimed.
V.Withdrawal of the hotel
(1) If the customer’s right to withdraw from the contract free of charge within a certain period of time has been agreed upon in writing, the hotel shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract within this period of time if there are requests from other customers for the contractually reserved rooms and the customer does not waive his right of withdrawal upon inquiry by the hotel.
2. if an agreed advance payment or an advance payment demanded above pursuant to clause II. no. 6 is not made even after expiration of a reasonable grace period set by the hotel, the hotel shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract.
Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract extraordinarily for objectively justified reasons, for example, if force majeure or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible make the fulfillment of the contract impossible; if rooms are booked
the contract is impossible; rooms are booked under misleading or false information of material facts, e.g. in the person of the customer or the purpose; the hotel has reasonable cause to believe that the use of the hotel management may jeopardize the smooth operation, safety or reputation of the hotel in public, without this being attributable to the control or organization of the hotel.
organizational sphere of the hotel;
4. in the event of justified withdrawal by the hotel, the customer shall not be entitled to compensation.
VI.room provision ,handover and return
1) The customer does not acquire the right to the provision of certain rooms.
2. booked rooms are available to the customer from 3.00 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival. The customer has no right to earlier provision.
On the agreed day of departure, the rooms must be vacated and made available to the hotel by 11:00 a.m. at the latest. After this time, the hotel may charge 50% of the full accommodation price (list price) for late vacating of the room for its use in excess of the contract until 4:00 p.m., and 100% from 4:00 p.m. onwards. Contractual claims of the customer are not justified by this. He is free to prove
to prove that the hotel has no or a significantly lower claim to a usage fee.
VII.Liability of the hotel
1. the hotel is liable with the diligence of a prudent businessman for its obligations under the contract. Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are damages resulting from injury to life, body or health if the hotel is responsible for the breach of duty, other damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel and damages resulting from an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual duties by the hotel. A breach of duty by the hotel is equivalent to a breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent. In the event of disruptions or deficiencies in the hotel’s services, the hotel shall endeavor to remedy such upon knowledge thereof or upon immediate complaint by the customer. The customer is obligated to contribute what is reasonable to him in order to remedy the disruption and to minimize any possible damage.
The hotel shall be liable to the customer for items brought into the hotel in accordance with the statutory provisions, i.e. up to one hundred times the room rate, not exceeding € 3,500, and for money, securities and valuables up to € 800. Money, securities and valuables may be stored in the hotel safe up to a maximum value of € 7,500. The hotel recommends making use of this possibility. The liability claims expire if the customer does not notify the hotel immediately after becoming aware of the loss, destruction or damage (§ 703 BGB). For a more extensive liability of the hotel, the above
No. 1 sentences 2 to 4 apply accordingly.
Insofar as a parking space is made available to the customer in the hotel garage or in a hotel parking lot, even for a fee, this shall not constitute a safekeeping agreement. The hotel shall not be liable for loss of or damage to motor vehicles parked or maneuvered on hotel property and their contents, except in cases of intent or gross negligence. Number 1 sentences 2 to 4 above shall apply accordingly.
4.Wake-up calls shall be carried out by the hotel with the utmost care. Messages, mail and merchandise shipments for guests will be handled with care. The hotel will take care of delivery, safekeeping and – upon request – forwarding of the same against payment. Number 1 sentences 2 to 4 above shall apply accordingly.
1. changes or additions to the contract, the acceptance of the application or these terms and conditions for hotel accommodation should be made in writing. Unilateral changes or additions by the customer are invalid.
2. place of performance and payment is the registered office of the hotel.
The exclusive place of jurisdiction – also for disputes regarding checks and bills of exchange – in commercial transactions shall be the registered office of the hotel. If a contracting party fulfills the requirements of Section 38 (2) of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) and does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction shall be the registered office of the hotel company. 4.
4 German law shall apply. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Conflict of Laws shall be excluded.
(5) Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions for Hotel Accommodation be or become invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
Otherwise, the statutory provisions shall apply.

Survivor’s guide to cruising
With more than 1.7 million of them taken in 2012, cruises more popular than ever, and that figure’s set to rise this year. They advertise top class accommodation, food and drink at your fingertips and days of endless sun, but as with any holiday, there are a whole host of tricks that can leave you hundreds of pounds out of pocket.
We got together some veteran cruisers to show you the common pitfalls and what to avoid.
Bill and Gill booked a Norwegian Fjords cruise with P&O through Thomas Cook, choosing the company’s so-called “Vantage Fare” they paid £890 each for a balcony cabin. The “Vantage Fare” means that if the holiday comes down in price between booking and departure, P&O will refund the difference by issuing on board spending money or a cabin upgrade of equivalent value. The price did come down, by over seven hundred pounds per couple for a similar outside balcony cabin. However when Bill contacted P&O for a refund, they refused. The company called the new prices “Getaway Fares”, and, simply by giving them a different name, with slightly different terms and conditions, they don’t have to refund customers who booked under the “Vantage Fare” scheme.
A number of cruisers set sail alone, but if you’re travelling solo, you need to watch out for this trick from one of the biggest cruise lines, Cunard. Diane Drayson booked her cruise from Dubai to Southampton in March. She had managed to secure one of those “Getaway Fares”.
Diane said ‘I feel I’m lucky to have been able to get a Getaway Fare. I believe this is the last cruise where solo passengers are able to buy Getaway Fares.’ Cunard no longer allow solo travellers access to the special “Getaway Fares”, only couples. Those sailing alone must pay the more expensive “Vantage Fares”. This means the price of travelling alone could end up higher than two people travelling together. Cunard have told us that due to customer feedback they have now changed their policy. As from the 1st of September 2013 “Getaway Fares” will be available to solo travellers.
Another common cruise complaint we’ve heard about is that dreaded on-board ‘extra’, paying your tips. Experienced cruiser Gordon Gresham told us ‘Well it varies from line to line, but probably ten, thirteen dollars a day per person. You can either pay that in advance or you can pay at the end of the cruise on your ship board account. On top of that there’s an extra fifteen per cent on all drinks that you buy when you’re on board the ship. You have to look rather carefully at the small print in fact to find out exactly what the position is.’
Another thing to look out for is the flights. Reggie Choppra told us ‘I usually prefer to book my flights separately from my cruise because typically I find with all the web sites that are available now you can get a better deal especially if you are travelling long distance.’
We found a Princess Cruise departing from San Francisco. The cheapest flight on offer to and from San Francisco through the Princess website was £782. The cheapest flight available with that same airline direct was £672. Although it did offer more flexibility, that’s £110 less per person. Although it’s worth bearing in mind, booking an outbound flight through the cruise liner does give you extra protection if your flight is delayed and you miss the cruise.
But now you know what to look out for you can step on board with confidence. Happy cruising!
The Cruise Lines International Association told us: More British holidaymakers than ever before chose to take a cruise last year which reflects the great variety of cruise holiday, worldwide destinations and the renowned personal service which more often than not far exceeds that received on a shore side holiday. In the last five years, 2.7 million British holidaymakers have taken their first ever cruise.
Tipping/gratuities: Guidelines on tipping vary among cruise companies but the majority of operators aim to make it simple for the passengers by automatically adding a sum to the customer’s account on a daily basis although these are not compulsory and may be taken off or amended at passengers' discretion. Some companies will include tipping in the overall cost of a cruise and some will have a ‘no tipping’ policy.
Each cruise operator does offer specific advice to its customers about tipping/gratuities in their own literature and on their websites and our advice for the consumer is always to check with a cruise line before booking a holiday or once booked, before travelling.
The vast majority of cruise passengers are happy to reward crew members for good service and they find the information and guidelines provided by cruise companies to be accurate and helpful.
Flights: Buying a flight separately could be cheaper but may end up costing the holidaymaker more in the long run if the flight is delayed or cancelled and causes them to miss the cruise ship’s departure. While this is a rare occurrence it’s one that would mean the consumer could miss the whole or a major part of their cruise as the onus to find alternative air flights to one of the ship’s ports of call would be theirs and their airline, rather than the cruise company.
Buying a flight and cruise together at the same time is classed as a package and the consumer has significant protection, for example in circumstances where their flight is delayed or cancelled then the cruise operator is still responsible to ensure that the holidaymaker gets to the ship at no additional cost to themselves.
P&O told us: In relation to the case of Mr and Mrs Collins, we are very sorry if the customers feel that the elements of each of our Vantage and Getaway Fares were not properly explained to them by the travel agent they dealt with when making their booking. We are keen to ensure all travel agents selling P&O Cruises holidays are well trained on the features of our holidays and we apologise if Mr and Mrs Collins feel they did not receive the service they should have. Since introducing both Vantage and Getaway Fares in July 2012, hundreds of thousands of customers have bought Vantage Fares and received the accompanying range of benefits. One of the most important benefits is our Price Promise, offering on board spending money or upgrade to the same value as any reduction in the price of a Vantage Fare and over the last year we have honoured this on tens of thousands of bookings. We publicised the fact we would be likely to introduce Getaway Fares on some cruises when we introduced Vantage Fares and always made it clear in our brochures and online that this was a possibility, so customers would be clear that they had that choice. The high level of demand for our Vantage Fares has confirmed that many customers prefer the peace of mind of securing the cabin location and number and Price Promise protection over waiting for the possibility of a Getaway product, with 100% deposit and 100% cancellation fees, becoming available. If the service Mr and Mrs Collins received on this occasion did fall short of what it should have been, we will work with the travel agent concerned to ensure the training it gives its staff meets the high standard the travel agent and P&O Cruises aim for when dealing with customers.
Cunard told us: In response to passenger feedback Getaway fares will be available to single travellers on P&O Cruises and Cunard for departures from September 1, 2013. P&O Cruises also has single cabins available on four ships in its fleet (five ships from the end of this year) and their pricing is reflective of the size of accommodation on offer. The single cabins on Azura are approx 120 sq/ft compared to the standard twin cabins which are approx 160 sq/ft, and have all the amenities of a twin cabin in addition to a wider bed, designed to be more comfortable for the single traveller. P&O Cruises and Cunard do from time to time make special offers available for single travellers and we greatly value and welcome many single travellers onboard our ships every year.
Princess Cruises told us: To simplify the tipping process for our passengers a discretionary hotel and dining charge of $11.50 per person per day is automatically added to passengers on board accounts. This charge is not compulsory and may be taken off or amended at passengers' discretion at any time during their cruise. A 15% gratuity is added to bar charges and is split between the bar staff and their support staff. Details of our tipping policy is clearing laid out in the ‘Important cruise information’ section of all of our brochures.
All fly cruises offered by Princess are advertised with a cruise only fare to give passengers more flexibility when selecting their chosen flights and transfers. Passengers can either book their flights with Princess or direct with their preferred airline. Princess Cruises offer a live flight system that covers a majority of airlines, which operates live up-to-date pricing.
Flights booked with Princess as a package are protected by ATOL package protection which complies with UK consumer protection laws and which gives the passengers protection should there be any flight delays or cancellations, ensuring Princess Cruises will do everything that's reasonably possible for passengers to join the ship at the next available port, giving them greater peace of mind.
Thomas Cook told us: We’re really proud that we’re the UK’s leading cruise retailer and our experienced agents have regular and comprehensive training on the various pricing structures from the cruise lines. We’re very sorry that Mr & Mrs Collins feel they were given incorrect information, and while we understand their frustration, there was no guarantee at the time of booking that P&O would issue a cheaper Getaway Fare on the particular cruise they had chosen.
