Save time and avoid dodgy developers/agents by using the Cyprus Buying Guide Matching service!

Save Money Buying a Property in the Baltics
Many buyers unknowingly pay £1,000 to £10,000 more than they have to - don't let this happen to you. By using a currency exchange specialist rather than a bank you can save money by:

1. Buying at a better rate (save 2% - 4%)

2. Create a strategy to buy at the best time (save £1,000's)

3. Reduce and even eliminate Bank receiving charges that can be in the £100's

Go to Smart Currency Exchange Limited to find out how much money you can save on your property in the Baltics or call on their freephone on: 0808 163 0102.

Smart Currency Exchange offer a FREE full report on how the Currency Exchange Market works AND weekly currency updates on whether it’s a good time to Buy, Sell or hold tight, simply go to the site below (It’s NOT boring - I promise): http://www.smartcurrencyexchange.com/freereport.htm

Airport Parking and Airlines

UK Airport Parking

Holiday Extra’s
This site is so simple. Click on the link above, enter what city you’re leaving from and within seconds you get a bunch of offers for up to 60% off what you would normally pay. I did a few checks and this site definitely seems, by far, the cheapest for airport parking.

Airlines

British Airways
Not realising that BA flew to Cyprus, I never looked before however, someone mentioned that they were doing really good deals. Well – let me tell you…I cannot recommend more highly the entire process of buying and flying with British Airways (and that goes for flying anywhere in the world).

To begin, I booked my tickets over their website and it was totally awesome. You can specify whether or not you can fly +/- 3 days or +/- 7 days in order to see the various prices on each day. By booking this way, I found that it was £100’s of pounds cheaper to go out on a Saturday rather than a Sunday. If I didn’t know this, I would have simply booked the days I originally had in mind.

Then…when I arrived at the airport, all I had to do was go to a machine that looked like a cash machine (hole-in-the-wall) and enter the Credit Card I had used to purchase the tickets. After about 3 minutes of answering the security questions on the machine, my tickets popped out and I was instructed to go to the baggage drop-off point. Holy-flippin-smokes!!! The entire booking in process took no more than 7 minutes.

I highly recommend BA if you fly anywhere…they truly are a class act!

Travel Booking Webservices
I use the following two websites when I want to compare the prices that different airlines offer. It's easier than calling a travel agent as you simply enter your preferred dates and let the website work it's magic. With both Opodo and eBookers I have never expereinced any problems.

Opodo
This website is also fantastic – it is one of those sites that checks all air carriers at once. Every time I fly home to Rochester, New York, I use these people. It’s easy to use, the online system checks all the airlines flying to your particular destination and then ranks them according to price, dates or whatever you want them to be ranked by. The tickets are sent out automatically or you can often get electronic tickets. I’ve used this company at least 14 times and have not once been disappointed. The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t see the prices if you travel 1 day earlier or 3 days later as you can on British Airways.

eBookers
eBookers is an excellent site. You can book flights, hotel, car rental and anything else to do with travel. The site is easy to use and I find the prices very competitive. When booking flights I often check this one and Opodo. eBookers sends out eMails if the flight changes so I always feel confident that I know what's going on.



Overseas SIM CARD Resource
SIM4travel is this awesome pay-as-you-go service for people travelling overseas. By purchasing a travel SIM from SIM4travel, you can save up to 85% on their calls in over 100 countries worldwide. It’s free to receive calls in over 60 countries worldwide. The cards are only £29.95 and the website explains everything. This is a MUST get if you’re going to use your phone overseas.

Travel Insurance for The Baltics
Recently I had to claim twice. Just a while ago I went overseas and for the whole duration of my trip I did not have my luggage. It simply stayed in Heathrow while I went crazy trying to locate clothes to sustain me. If I had not taken insurance, the airport would have only paid out 25 pounds/day whereas my insurance covered all of my costs (and they amounted to well over 25/day!)

Columbus Direct Travel Insurance
This is where I get my insurance and they always seem to give me the lowest rate. The website could not be easier to use – it’s not crowed with all sorts of services…it just offers travel insurance.

American Express Insurance
This website has insurance for everything - home, motor, identity, and of course - travel insurance. I often find that when you book your flights online they offer insurance that almost always sems more expensive then if you do it from another online company. Any way - take a look at what American Express can do for you as it's easy to get a quote and book online.

Travel Insurance Online
This company is part of Jade Stanley Limited which is regulated and authorised by the Financial Services Authority. They provide Backpackers Insurance and Annual Travel Insurance for UK Residents only. They also offer a cool insurance calculator which is worth checking out.


Car Rental in The Baltics
Holiday Auto's
Holiday autos is part of lastminute.com plc. They claim that they select only the best car rental companies around the world, and then negotiate the lowest possible rates from them, passing the savings onto our customers in the form of lower, fully inclusive prices. This website covers Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia!
