Question: Can anyone suggest the Best Family holiday Travel Website(cheap). We need to go away for xmas next week.?

Answer: Some good ones are expedia, or Travelocity. But good luck getting it cheap, especially around the holidays, and so close.

FYI, if you have no preference of what day you go, I have heard Christmas Day is cheap, because rarely anyone flies that day.

 

Question: Do you need any visas to travel to america for a family holiday?
my family is planing a trip to ohio us next year do we need any visas or anything before we go

Answer: If you live in the UK and no one travelling has ever been in trouble with the police then you don't need to apply for a visa as you fill in a visa waiver form on the plane before you land. You can then stay for 90 days.

 

Question: Family holiday?
i would love to take my 3 kids on a nice family holiday in scotland (im a single parent). is there anywhere else anybody can recomend other than craig tara thats convient to travel to as i have no car need to go by public transport

Answer: Follow this website, it is to a backpackers lodge that have family rooms with TV and 2 bunk beds, so ideal for family of 4. The family rooms have own shower and toilet and you can hire cycles here for a low cost. You would need to get a train to Sterling and a bus to Callendar. A trip well worth it.

Question: What reclaim do I have if a travel company print photos of my family in a holiday brochure without permission?

Answer: This is rather a grey area. If the photos are not yours, then you do not own the copyright to them. Usually in the UK, if you photograph an individual the photographer will ask the subject to sign a 'model release' form prior to publishing. If people are in a photograph as part of the general public then this of course is unrealistic and no permission is required.
I assume these photos were taken abroad, so this might also influence your legal standing. Also, as mentioned in another reply, it might also depend on whether the pictures are embarrassing or not.
You could try and demand the travel company withdraw those brochures form circulation. They will probably refuse, you could then threaten to sue, in which case they may give you some form of compensation; I doubt it, or they may say "go ahead and sue". Can you afford it and what would your grounds be for suing? Let's face it, newspapers and magazines publish pictures everyday of people especially celebs without their permission and in less than kind circumstances.
To conclude, give it a go if you think it is worth it, otherwise frame the picture and put in your bathroom wall.

Question: Im working for a UK travelling family on a UK Holiday Working Visa, will it affect entry into each country?
I have a 2 year UK Holiday Working Visa. I have recently got a job as a nanny for 12 months with a UK family. They want me to go to France on holiday with them and they are worried that I may need another Visa to enter France, as I am working for them there. But I didnt think I do because they are a British paying me pounds into my UK bank account. Will this matter when I travel with them to France? Please help ASAP. I was unable to find the answer on the web. If you can find a link, it would be appreciated

Answer: It all depends on your nationality, if you're not in the EC then you have to get a visa to enter to France.

Question: Trying to find a cheap but good value family holiday for 2 adults & 2 children - why is it so hard?
Have tried all the major websites but they all seem to ask where you want to go - we dont mind where we go as long as the flight is not too long as there will be a 3 year old with us. We just want something for around £250 pp for a week. Does anyone know of any good sites that are good value and would offer this? Or will I have to go to a travel agents and browse face to face?

Answer: I agree, finding holidays online takes ages and is very tiring. Lastminute.com used to have a search where you could put in the dates you wanted and your budget, and it would tell you where you could go, but I don't think it's available anymore. It might be worth a look though, as they do have lots of suggestions of places to go.
An alternative would be to ask Answers for recommendations for your holiday destination. With 2 children I'd recommend anywhere with a nice beach - they love it and it's free!
