Cheap Holidays to NYC from Scotland - (From £540pp)

Fancy a trip to NYC? Why not check out these trips I have put together where you can book everything yourself for a bargain. The flights are all with KLM or Delta so you get your bags and food/drink included at no extra cost.

To book just click on the link for the flights which will direct you to Google Flights where you can select to book directly on the operators website. For the hotels just click on the links with the hotel name to book.

There are no hotels.com promotions going at the moment but I would highly recommend singing up to their Hotel Rewards first to benefit from 1 free stay after 10 nights (to the average value of your 10 nights booked).

The ultimate Bratislava travel guide - what to see, eat and do in Bratislava

Bratislava is often offered as a day trip from Vienna but it has so much more to offer. Being considerably cheaper than its neighbour and a much more manageable size you should be visiting here and day tripping to Vienna if you find the time.

Beer = £1.50 for 50cl
Meal for 2 with drinks = £40
Bus tickets = £0.70
Train to Vienna = £11 (on the day)
