50 most asked travel questions answered by The Times

Over the weekend, The Times (UK) rolled up its proverbial shirt sleeves and took to answering its readers’ 50 most asked travel questions.

I figure if someone else bothered to ask the question, then I’ve probably wondered the same thing myself. So I took a look. Granted, some of the questions were UK- or destination-specific, but it was interesting to see what topics were on readers’ minds. Plus, with 50 questions to start with, there were plenty of chances to pick up a few tips.

In fact, I learned what websites are best for checking:

• The best in-flight entertainment systems (World Airline Awards)
• The safety record of an airline (Airfleets)
• How to get into airport lounges (Lounge Pass)
• The sea temperature anywhere in the world (Big Blue Planet)

The article is the latest in a series in The Times, including “50 best travel websites” and “50 people to know in travel.”
