Holidays & Travel

Numerous people are travelling the world for many different reasons at any one time. It may be business or pleasure, but all of them need a reputable, comfortable place to stay for the night. This is not an easy choice to make, given that major cities don’t have a few hotels to choose from: they have a few hundred!

Pisa, the city of the Leaning Tower that gave birth to Galileo Galilei, is the ideal destination for a journey full of discoveries in Tuscany. This wonderful city can also be visited in a single day, so as to leave room for the other cultural treasures of the region, especially if you have planned your stay in a beautiful Tuscan villa like the ones you can find on Tuscany Now and More.

With schools now broken up for summer, the next few days will see the peak of the summer for flights with NATS, the UK’s leading provider of air traffic control services, expecting to handle well over 8,000 flights per day.

2018 was the busiest summer on record for air traffic in Europe with peaks of 37,000 flights a day and 2019 is expected to be even busier.

This summer has already seen records broken for most UK flights ever in a single day, July 5th, when 8,863 flights were handled by NATS in 24-hours.

With air traffic movements (ATMs) set to peak for the year the One Too Many campaign is reminding passengers to ensure make sure they travel responsibly and avoid serious consequences and penalties for disruptive behaviour. 

Over 8,800 flights are expected to travel through UK airspace today as the summer holidays officially kick off for many across the country. The One Too Many campaign recently relaunched for Summer 2019 with the support of Aviation Minister Baroness Vere, building on the back of a successful inaugural year.
