Dear Gill,In April I was due to travel to Crete with easyJet on a trip organised by Greenwings Wildlife Holidays. Unfortunately, due to a 24-hour air traffic controllers' strike in Greece and Italy, the flight was cancelled. EasyJet was unable to find me a seat on subsequent flights and so refunded the fare within seven days.

Dear Gill,Last November, my wife Krista and I were due to fly with British Airways from Edinburgh to San Diego, returning 10 days later from Boston. Unfortunately, my bag containing my passport and wallet was stolen on the tram ride to the airport. British Airways staff were very sympathetic and said that if I reported the theft to the police and obtained an incident number, the airline would rebook my outbound flight. The BA agent said she would put a "note in the booking" to this effect.

Discover where to eat across the county, from St Ives to Port Isaac and seafood to steakCornwall is as well known for its organic beef and pork, artisan cheeses and air-dried charcuterie as it is for fish and seafood. Most restaurants serve a little of both, often garnished with plants and berries foraged from the hedgerows and cliffs: rock samphire, wild garlic, alexanders and wild flower petals.

Where to find the county's freshest scones, top quality jam and most beautiful locationsA proper Cornish cream tea is made by putting the jam on the scone before the clotted cream. The reason? The cream would melt on scones hot from the oven. A scone is something that must be freshly baked, preferably in a farmhouse Aga, and with a light hand on the baking powder. Sadly, there are lots of cream tea shops that cut corners, especially in holiday resorts.

Dear Gill,On February 7, I flew with Lufthansa from London to Singapore via Frankfurt. The flight to Frankfurt was on time but boarding for the onward flight to Singapore was cancelled due to a technical problem. Lufthansa arranged dinner, bed and breakfast and I flew out at 3pm the following day. As the delay was well over four hours, I filled in Lufthansa’s online “fast compensation” form to apply for the £520 compensation. My request has been refused – twice.

Dear Gill,In August 2024, my husband and I took out a joint annual travel insurance policy with Saga, which cost £1,497 for European coverage. Initially, this was to go on a Saga cruise last November, but we also booked a holiday to Gran Canaria in February and another short cruise in June. My husband has various pre-existing conditions, controlled by medication, as he is in his 80s. Early last autumn he got a urinary tract infection, resolved with antibiotics.
