Many of us have had the misfortune to be stuck around in airport lounges, waiting for our delayed flight to depart. In this article we examine methods to avoid the associated boredom.

Being stuck at an airport for hours on end can be a draining experience. Even the world’s largest airports make less than ideal locations to spend more than an hour or so.

From the uncomfortable chairs to the loud announcements, it seems that airport lounges are not conducive to relaxing. Although many airports will include a number of stores within the airport terminal buildings, such stores are often over-priced, making the entire experience even less pleasurable.

Cyprus has become particularly popular with tourists in recent years. The following is a list of the top eight holiday locations on this Mediterranean island.

1. Ayia Napa: One of the party capitals of Europe. With its busy bars, restaurants and nightclubs, it’s no surprise that Ayia Napa is a real rival to Ibiza. The dance music scene attracts visitors from all over Europe.

2. Nissi Beach: Considerably quieter than neighbouring Ayia Napa, this resort enjoys popularity thanks to its long stretches of white beaches.

To look at the differences between European countries, the best way to get organized it to group them according to their geographical position or cultural background. In this way we can find Southern Europe, Scandinavia, UK & Ireland, Eastern Europe, Benelux & France and Central Europe. To set if one country is included here and there can be tricky sometimes, and to define the area I am going to speak about I would like to call them as German speaking countries, which will be Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

For those wanting to experience Italy without the crowds and the sometimes unbearable summer heat, a tour of the north has plenty that appeals. Let’s take a look at some must-see highlights.

The rise of budget airlines has meant that it has never been easier to find a cheap flight to northern Italy. Both Milan and Verona have busy international airports, with flights from most major European cities. Verona is served by regular flights from London Gatwick, making it a perfect starting point for any tour.

If you can’t find a suitably priced flight from Verona, then you might also consider Bologna as a feasible alternative.

Could the writing be on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights?

The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren’t specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.

Think of a cruise and you’ll probably think of the open waves and enjoying the many benefits of a cruise ship while surrounded by nothing more than ocean on all sides. But a cruise does not always set sail on an ocean. Some of the best cruises the world has to offer are actually river cruises, and what they might lack in distance travelled they certainly make up for in sights to see.

With the increasing popularity of the island of Cyprus as a holiday resort, many more visitors are now finding out about the delights on offer here. Larnaca Airport is the point of entry for most tourists visiting this Mediterranean paradise.

The three largest resorts on the south side of the island are centred around Paphos, Larnaca and Ayia Napa. Paphos, on the western end of Cyprus, has its own dedicated airport. Visitors to the other two resorts, however, will often tend to arrive at Larnaca International Airport.
