How To Prevent Suitcase Bag Loss on your travels

- Use durable luggage labels showing your name, flight number, destination address and telephone number. The main cause of lost luggage is the loss of the airline’s barcode label.

- Mark the inside of your bag with your name and mobile-phone number: if your labels are torn off, handlers will open the bag to find identifiers.

- Luggage checked in late may not even make it onto the flight and will follow on later, increasing the chances of it going astray. Customise your bag using ribbons or a coloured luggage strap to prevent anyone else from accidentally taking it from the carousel.

- Maybe buy a GPS tracker for your bag.

- If your bag goes missing, fill in the forms before leaving the airport and do not leave without the telephone number of the handling desk, a claim number and the name of a supervisor.

- List the items packed before leaving home and take a copy with you (but not in your checked luggage). It makes the compensation process much easier.

Static Caravan Site Fees for UK Holiday rentals

UK static caravan holiday site fees – A caravan haven site in the North east will cost you around £3600 per year! Not at that cheap is it?

No poll tax to pay but many other extras, electrical appliance tests yearly, charges also appear for rubbish collection, connection charges for the site fitting your gas refill bottle, you are not allowed to fit it yourself!

Draining the system down for winter costs more, filling it back up after winter costs more, frequent caravan wiring tests cost more.

Most parks are open 10 or 11 months a year, this may sound like a decent stretch but the amenities are certainly not open for this length of time.

Haven at Filey Yorkshire, all very nice, but it works out far too expensive.

Also bear in mind the possible resale value, do not take any notice of the site ‘bumf, be prepared to lose a fortune if you sell up you have to pay the site a hefty fee just to sell up, the yearly site rent is not transferable to the new owner, there are many other things to bear in mind.

In short £2000 for a small site up to £5000 for a site with lots of facilities. The fees include rates. The smaller sites open March to September larger ones open for 11 months of the year

If you can afford the outgoings you will enjoy it all.
