When it comes to picking a hotel, there are some things that should give you a bright green light to go ahead and book a room and take a rest, while others are definite red flags that, at least, deserve some closer investigation.

A lot of red flags are, however, country dependent, as politically incorrect as it may sound. If I see a website or get a flying about luxury hotels Warwickshire, I pretty much take it as being true. If it’s an email talking about luxury hotels in Aruba or in Jamaica, I will be looking into what their concept of “luxury” is.

Other things deserve a definite second glance. For example, if I’m told that a hotel is in a nice neighborhood in a small town in Spain, I’ll totally believe it. But if it claims to be a safe neighborhood “just outside” the center of a large capital like Athens or London, then I’m going to be reading reviews and looking at the location on Google maps.

Speaking of reviews, they are your best friend. Especially the reviews on Google, since those are less likely to be forged. But the best advice is to follow your intuition. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Heathrow Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports on the continent. Almost every airline comes through this airport, which means you’ll at least have a layover in Heathrow at one point. If your journey takes you through this popular London airport, there’s a few things you should know.

If you’re heading out of the airport, you can enjoy one of the many cheap hotels at Heathrow Airport. This is ideal if you have a long layover, and would like to catch up on some sleep while you wait. These hotels are easily accessible by complimentary shuttles. Public transportation in and out of the airport is also very simple. Metro and bus will take you there from the city center, and run at convenient hours. Taxis are also easy to find and conveniently located near all terminals.

Getting in between terminals is also easy. Clear and easy to navigate paths have been created to guide you in between one of the many terminals Heathrow has. Most of the terminals can be reached by walking, but some can be reached by bus or train. This is a quick and efficient way to get to your next gate within the airport.
