Contrary to what some blogs may claim, finding cheap flights is less about learning secrets or 'hacks' and much more about simple determination and some luck. There isn't some sure-fire way to always find the cheapest airfare, but if you keep trying different methods, you're bound to stumble upon a sweet deal.
These are some of the tools and tricks I like to use.
Use the right search engines
Travel reservation sites, such as Expedia or Priceline, are not usually the best for finding cheap flights. Since they are basically a travel agent, they focus on higher-margin offers and tend not to include budget airlines.
The best flight search engines are the independent ones, which try to include as much data as possible. My personal favorites are Momondo, Skyscanner, and Google Flights.
Researching cheap destinations
Do you want to fly somewhere cheap but you're not sure where yet? Then there are some great tools to get you started. These won't give you live pricing data, but they'll give you a rough idea.
- On Google Flights, go to Discover Destinations. Enter your home airport to see price estimates for all destinations displayed on a map. (You can do something similar at Kayak Explore.)
- On Skyscanner, enter your home airport in the From field, and then type 'Anywhere' in the To field. You will get a list of estimated airfares.
Dates & times: be weird!
Flights are obviously the most expensive whenever there is the highest demand. That means the best way to find cheaper options is to be weird. In other words, search for days, times, or months that fewer people are searching for. (This assumes, of course, that you have some flexibility for your departure.)
Early in the week is usually cheaper to fly than on weekends. So when experimenting with different dates, try Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays for best results. But there are no hard-and-fast rules, so always play with the dates, and try adding or subtracting a few days.
This is more of an art than a science. Finding the best deal is often a matter of changing the search parameters repeatedly until you find a great option. Some flights only go on certain days (this is particularly true for some short-haul budget flights), so your best option may not be available on every day.
The month you travel in can also have a huge impact on your airfare cost. Try to travel somewhere in the shoulder season instead of the tourist high season, as it will be both cheaper and less busy.
Don't always fly direct. You sometimes find amazing options by making just one extra stop. Last year I flew from London to Bangkok for just 320 GBP (that's about 400 USD or EUR) by going with Turkish Airlines and making a brief 45-minute stop in Istanbul.
Use Momondo's Flight Insight
Momondo has a cool feature called Flight Insight, which lets you take a deep dive on the cost variables for a particular route. In a nutshell, here's how to use it.
- Search for your intended flight route using any calendar date. Then click 'Flight insight for [origin city] to [destination city]' in the top right corner. (This is not yet available for every route, but it is for many popular ones.)
- You will see a graph showing all the factors affecting price, including seasonality, time of booking, day of the week, and airport.
- Hit the Seasonality tab for a graph showing the cheapest and most expensive months of the year to travel this route.
Using Skyscanner's calendar
Skyscanner lets you do something along similar lines, with a bit of a hidden feature that not many people seem to be aware of.
Enter your departure point and destination, and then from the date drop-down box, select WHOLE MONTH. This will get you a calendar showing the estimated prices for every departure and arrival date within that month. If you're at all flexible with your dates, pick the cheapest days to get final prices for those dates.
When to book
According to research published by both Skyscanner and Momondo, the optimal timeframe to buy tickets is usually 5 to 6 weeks ahead of departure. This is a rule of thumb however, and it can be different on many routes.
Using a tool like Flight Insight, as mentioned above, can tell you the specifics for the route you're searching (hit the 'Days to departure' tab). Be sure to set up a Fare Alert if you're not quite ready to book yet, but want to stay up-to-date on any price changes.
Finding cheaper airports
Always include alternative nearby airports as this can often save you money.
- Search engines like Skyscanner and Momondo can automatically include nearby airports within a small radius (e.g. including all London airports). Just tick the appropriate box before searching.
- You'll have to manually search for alternative airports that are a bit further away. So have a think (or look on Google Maps) and consider where else you could fly into. This is of course especially relevant if you're going to travel around overland during your trip anyway, as changing your trip's starting and end point can open up many cheaper options. So instead of London, try Manchester. Instead of Madrid, try Lisbon.
- Consider if the cheaper alternative airport might be across the border. For example, if you're flying to Malaysia, it may be cheaper to fly into neighboring Singapore instead of Kuala Lumpur. If you're going to Albania, you'll have better luck flying into northern Greece than to Tirana.
Searching for alternative airports used to be especially useful for short-haul and regional flights, as budget carriers often use secondary airports. But it's becoming increasingly useful for long-haul flights as well. Just as one example of a new trend of long haul budget flights, Norwegian Air now flies direct from London Gatwick (an alternative to London Heathrow) to Oakland International (an alternative to San Francisco International) for crazy low prices. That's why you'll always want to cast a wide net and try some different airports.
Booking one-way flights
There are some specific challenges with one-way flights when it comes to visa/immigration.
Other than that, consider that a one-way flight isn't always priced at half the cost of a return. Usually, it's more expensive than that (e.g. around 75% of the return flight cost).
When searching for single flights, try searching the same route for a return as well. Sometimes the returns end up cheaper! I'm still not quite sure I understand why… I guess it has to do with how airlines bundle certain flights. As an example, when I was flying from Colombia to Peru it was actually cheaper to buy a return package that included a flight back to Bogota. I never used the return portion but was still way cheaper off.
Using budget booking sites
Some of the booking sites linked by the search engines offer great prices but aren't as well known. I've sometimes had situations where small booking sites worked a little differently from the big ones like Expedia or Trivago.
Don't be alarmed if you get an email saying they got your payment but that the ticket might not be confirmed for another hour or two. This is not some kind of scam, but a normal way that some booking sites operate. For example, I've had this happen with eDreams, BravoFly and Tripsta, which appear regularly as the cheapest option on Skyscanner and Momondo.
When not to use search engines
Not all airlines are listed on the usual search engines. This becomes especially apparent when you're traveling far off the beaten track. You can be pretty sure the search engines have got flights between London and Berlin covered, but maybe not so much between Dushanbe and Tashkent (guess which countries those are the capitals of…).
Sometimes it can still be a good idea to search manually! And in these cases, surprisingly, one of the best tools you have for this is Wikipedia. (Seriously.)
Type in the name of your origin airport on Wikipedia, no matter how small, and you'll usually get a detailed list of which airlines fly there and on which routes. This method was very useful to me when flying on less obvious routes; for instance, I found flights this way to some obscure islands in the Philippines, with local carriers that search engines haven't yet included.

Prevenient grace[edit]
I'd love to get feedback on this article, which I believe to be a pretty good one, as I hope to nominate it for featured article status. Thanks for any help! KHM03 23:38, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- The "Doctrine in other sources" section needs more than one example, and the current one could do with some context/explanation.
- The "Objections to the doctrine" section could do with a bit more authority-if possible the criticisms of notable theologians or religious leaders could be cited to support the assertations made- "Some Christians (believe)" and "Wesleyans and Calvinists agree that man is totally depraved".
- "The article is official doctrine not only for The United Methodist Church but for many other Wesleyan denominations as well."-give some examples of other Wesleyan denominations that embrace this doctrine. Deus Ex 23:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Kristin Cavallari: 'I was obnoxious on The Hills'
Kristin Cavallari won't watch herself on 'The Hills'.
The mother-of-three admitted that she tried to watch some old episodes of the MTV reality TV and cringed at how "obnoxious" she was.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "I was so obnoxious and I'm like ... different time in my life.
"I haven't gone back and watched them, but one day, I think it was two summers ago, my husband, Jay [Cutler], had them on when I came home one time and that was... it's kind of brutal for me to sit through."
Meanwhile, her former co-star Audrina Patridge recently admitted what played out on the reality show was very different to what was really going on in the cast's personal lives, and any genuine relationships were "ruined" by being on TV.
She admitted: "You can't have a real relationship on that show. 'The Hills', any real relationship you'd bring on or try to have, it would get ruined. ...
"I think if social media was a thing, 'The Hills' would never be what it was. Even now going to dinner [fans] sit there and take pictures and film, and like, listen. The secrets! There would be no secrets at 'The Hills' anymore if there was social media back then!"
Audrina admitted she was really "upset" and became "distrustful" of show bosses when a storyline was staged for her to date Spencer Pratt, who is now married to co-star Heidi Montag.
She said: "Oh God, no! I did not have history with him and this was one of the things that really upset me and this was when I started distrusting the producers."
Recalling when she was asked to go to a Pinkberry frozen yoghurt store with no explanation, only for Spencer, 32, to appear with flowers, she added: "That was all fabricated for drama because they needed something to film.
"And I think that was one of the first dramatic -- that's what started all the drama."

On Wednesday's programme Vincent Duggleby put your tax questions to a panel of experts.
A recent report by the House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts says that many older people pay more tax than they need to.
Some 2.4 million older people have overpaid £200m in tax on their savings income.
A further £250m tax has been overpaid due to discrepancies between HM Revenue and Customs records and those of employers and pension providers.
The report also says that HMRC does not know how many people miss out on the age-related allowances they are entitled to.
If you have a question about tax planning or making the most of your personal allowances Vincent Dubbleby and a panel of experts will ready help.
Are you entitled to tax-free interest on savings?
Who do you contact if your tax code is wrong?
Can you reclaim overpaid tax?
What is the value of your personal allowance?
Should you transfer any unused personal allowance to your spouse or civil partner?
Maybe you have a question about Capital Gains Tax
Can you deduct losses from gains made in the same or future years?
Which gifts are exempt from Inheritance Tax?
Are you aware of the changes to the rules about furnished holiday lettings?
Whatever your tax question Vincent Duggleby and guests were ready to help.
Vincent Duggleby was joined by:

We all have a problem of taking ourselves too seriously. Well, to make my point clearer, we ALL have problems. If you get slapped by a teacher, dumped by a girl, make a bad investment, or face any sort of a non-life-ending loss, a joke about your situation, allows you to see the funny side of things!
1. It can save you even If you fall off while collecting the Oscars!
What I mean to say is that it possibly couldn't get worse than this! Jennifer Lawrence actually tripped while collecting her first ever Oscars. And guess what her sense of humor definitely saved the day for her.
It obviously won't ease your inner pain, but externally, you look unshakeable, and others appreciate your strength when you bounce back and become successful in some way. Clearly, self-deprecating humor is required for you to deal with tough situations.
2. You become more likeable!
There is a huge reason why comedians are as famous as film stars today. Believe it or not, they've not publicized themselves as much as they have publicized their stories and experiences. They tell their own stories in hilarious ways that make us go ROFL!
Russell Peters admits to the fact that he was bullied all throughout his childhood because he was 'brown' in color. Today, most of his shows are filled with jokes about Indians and their funny ways!
And there's a reason for that.
Vir Das makes fun of his love life, how he screwed up with his ex girlfriends in the most unique ways we can ever imagine! You think a heart ache is easy to recover from? Sarcastic harmless humour definitely helps!
3. You can never offend anyone around!
I have always viewed a large purpose of life to be laughing and making others laugh, as much as possible. If you want to be careful and not offend people, yet you want to joke, and are secure enough to put yourself down to make others laugh, self-deprecating humor is the way to go. Self-deprecating humor, if done in good taste, is incredibly funny.
4. People are more at ease with you
When you see a guy say something funny about himself, you know you can, in the future, make fun of him and not worry immensely about hurting his feelings. That gives you a level of comfort. Many a times, when you evoke humor amongst a group of people, it spurs an 'us' feeling amongst everyone!
5. Reverse Psychology!
Tell people that you are the best, and they will definitely hate you. Make them feel superior, and they'll appreciate you. People seem to have a tendency to go the reverse way to what your words convey. Let me explain. If you insist that you have the intelligence of a slightly below-average guy, they think you're being modest and funny, and actually believe you're quite intelligent but like downplaying it.
6. What women want!
This is a universal truth: most women want guys with a good sense of humor! Thus, humor sparks romance!And men always want women who understand and appreciate their jokes.
7. You end up avoiding humorless people
By starving emotions people become humorless, rigid and stereotyped. And it's best to avoid such people. Without humor it's hard to look back at a situation in a brighter way and come to terms with it. Neurologists worldwide have concluded if someone doesn't recognize sarcasm, he/she may lack higher cognitive skills!
8. Attention Grabber
Not many people are able to crack jokes on themselves, or tough situations they have faced. Not many people know that a lot of Bollywood stars also use self deprecating dialogues to amuse their audiences. Deepika Padukone in Chennai express makes fun of King Khan about him being 50 plus which becomes an instant hit in B town.
9. Fit in!
Is the main purpose in life to fit in? Not always, not when you are required to shine, but most of the time. Be a thoroughly ordinary, stupid, but secure guy on most days, fit in with every crowd, maintain every friend. And when the time comes to shine, shine dazzlingly. Amaze others with your ability in that crucial short burst. And just to keep everybody happy and not threatened, drop their armor at your will. Even if they know you're messing with them, they'll appreciate your confidence in making such jokes in the first place.
10. You make lesser enemies
Showing others your best is the worst thing you can possibly do. Sometimes at your workplace cater to egos, make a self-deprecating joke, and make them feel superior. It's an incredible win-win. The listener feels superior in some corner of his mind, and you feel superior knowing that the listener is dancing to your tune.

Within a couple minutes of dumping 20 or so briquettes on top of a fully loaded wok, the smoker was at 350 and rising even with the bottom vents completely closed. I eventually had to dump that load of charcoal and start over with only a handful of lit coals and several unlit. I left the bottom vents closed for the entire 7.5 hour smoke and the fire was always around 250.
I've purchased a big green gasket kit and hope to install before the next smoke and was also thinking about trying some high heat silicone in the inside corners to help seal even more. Sorry for thee long first post, I look forward to learning and sharing with everyone here!

insisting on sporting the new pair of adidas鞋子
Le 10 juillet 2015, 09:37 dans Humeurs • 0
Stile has been traipsing about the US lately. Weekend journeys, mainly. The variety in which a spur-of-the-minute choice takes you from your rainy cold flat in Denver to the heart of Manhattan three hours later, on a whim, to see a lady. It all transformed with the first kicks from Michael Jordan, the Air Jordan. It came in a lot more than one shade blend, which includes one that was largely black and red that induced Jordan to get fined every single time he wore them in an NBA game. This has two benefits. One, it impresses the interviewer and two, you come to feel excellent within which makes you confident. Take a good, lengthy shower also practicing and answering questions you believe would be asked by the interviewer. This saves time later on. Shaving is necessary, unless you have a beard. If you do hold it trimmed and clean. Make positive you do not shave in a hurry. Check your nails to see if they are clean and manicured. If you can, purchase a bottle of nail gloss and apply one particular coating. It may well sound like a lady's thing, but this can make your nails appear very clean and nicely maintained in double swift time. Liverpool's principal shopping centre is Liverpool A single. This remarkable buying centre has everything you require below one roof. It has cafes, dining establishments, high street outlets, huge brand retailers and so much a lot more. In Liverpool A single there are approximately 160 distinct shops. Some of the many are, H&M, Henleys, G Star, H Samuel, 愛迪達專賣店, Ann Summers, Republic, HMV, Greggs, Bench and Jane Norman. Every single keep is open right up until 8pm on weekdays. So for individuals late evening consumers, this is excellent. There are countless folks who dwell with this issue both since they do not truly feel bothered by it or simply because they do not know that they can entry therapy. Have you ever produced a corn right after sporting a pair of shoes for the very first time? This takes place to a lot of folks and often the dilemma occurs on a single foot only, specifically on the upper surface of the toes. A huge percentage of these who encounter this issue make it worse by insisting on sporting the new pair of adidas鞋子. Something that brides hardly ever think to element into their budget is lingerie to dress in underneath their gown. Usually, you finish up needing some thing quite certain, particularly if you will be wearing a strapless gown. A higher good quality bustier can run as much as $100, so be conscious of this when arranging the budget for your wedding ceremony attire. Brides who do not need a great deal of critical lifting energy from their undergarments might be in a position to have a seamstress sew cups into the gown alternatively of sporting a bustier. That basic alteration will probably be below $20, so it can be a very good way to conserve. They are just a single tool that may well give you an indication of your progress, but if you depend on them too a lot you may not get the encouragement you need. Whatever strategies you use to measure your weight loss progress do not use it also usually. Your entire body naturally fluctuates and if you consider to measure it as well typically the final results will not be valid. Try to resist the temptation to consider out the tape measure or hop on the scales every day. When a month measurements will give you a far greater indication of your progress.

A man arrested on suspicion of hacking Pippa Middleton's iCloud account has been bailed.
Website designer Nathan Wyatt, 35, swore at waiting photographers when he returned to his home in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, late on Sunday (25.09.16) after being quizzed over the theft of around 3,000 photographs belonging to the party planner - who is the younger sister of Duchess Catherine, the wife of Prince William - which were then offered for sale for £50,000.
Local residents had previously said they were shocked when police descended on the home Wyatt shares with fiancee Kelly Howell and their children in connection with the theft.
Neighbour Patricia Kightly said: "They are a nice, respectable couple. I have only only heard them squabbling twice in the years they've been here.
"They've even kept an eye on my house while I've been away for me so they are people I trust."
Another surprised local resident said: "He stays at home and she works.
"They all turned up at 10pm on Saturday night. They were taking a lot of pictures in the house but also outside.
"The cops were checking in the boot of his car and looking for paperwork.
"He is friendly and always says good morning - police haven't told us what it is about."
The hacked images - which were offered for sale by someone demanding £50,000 within 48 hours - included pictures of Pippa's nephew Prince George and niece Princess Charlotte, a photo of the party planner at a wedding dress fitting and a nude shot of her fiance James Matthews.

A guy who could bench press 500 pounds. Or a guy who knew karate? If you had to choose one. Everything else is equal. Looks. Personality. Money. Purely from a physical perspective who would you prefer?
Most Helpful Girl
Karate is more attractive because it's a full-body combat skill. Way more attractive and fun than bench-pressing. Karate guy means he's not only strong but is also swift, and have good reflexes, if they're good.10|10|1

Iona and Harry's apartment is an annexe on their main home within the Glanusk Estate. The setting and the finish within the apartment are both exemplary! Iona was a perfect host, offering us all the help we needed and also being perfectly respectful of our privacy. With our own entrance and exit, it was as if we were in our own house. The location is great for anyone looking for a weekend in the Brecon Beacons, and the apartment offers both a relaxing and romantic break for any couple.Simon2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
The flat is so beautifully and thoughtfully equipped, and the area around the house and beyond quite extraordinarily beautiful. We especially enjoyed walking through the grounds of the estate to and along the canal.Sally2016-10-17T00:00:00Z
Iona's flat was great for a weekend in the countryside. The rural location with views of the valleys and hills was a lovely escape from London, and near both the walking in the Brecon Beacons and the restaurants of Abergavenny. The estate staff were very friendly and helpful letting us in and helping with taxis etc. Iona was very communicative before our stay providing clear directions and comprehensive information about the apartment, and there are plenty of maps in the apartment for walking etc.Alex2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
The perfect Airbnb!! Iona and Harry are amazing hosts - There when you need them yet allow you to enjoy the apartment and local scenery. The apartment was clear and beautiful - steeped in history and totally peaceful. We cannot wait to visit again.Matt2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
What an amazing place. My wife and I really needed a country break away from the big city and found Iona's lovely retreat. The grounds the property sits on are simply stunning with amazing views. The apartment is well equipped, clean and has everything you possibly need. Thank you again Iona for the amazing break. We really needed it.Piyush2016-06-02T00:00:00Z
Enjoyable weekend experience if you are looking for a quiet weekend in a quaint community and enjoy history. Hiking, fishing, biking, and dining all within close proximity. Great place for two or less.Paul2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful two night stay here in November for my partner's birthday. The location is great for the mountain biking/horse riding/walking we planned to do and the estate itself is beautiful and great to explore. Iona was the perfect host - really helpful and easily contactable when we had any questions. She made us feel very welcome and sent lots of information about the history and area in advance which was really interesting. We loved all her friendly animals too. The apartment was perfect - a great size but also really cosy and beautifully decorated space with some lovely antiques from the main house. We were so comfy there and were provided with everything we could possibly have needed for our stay including delicious eggs, cheese, and bread all locally sourced. I'd thoroughly recommend this place - a lovely bit of comfort and luxury in the most beautiful location - we will definitely be back!Ella2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

Dear Adrienne, Thank you for a short but sweet stay in your lovely apartment! It was warm, comfortable, very spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The chocolate biscuits went down particularly well with two tired children after a long walk on the hill above Bwlch! We can thoroughly recommend the place and would happily visit again.Robert2015-10-28T00:00:00Z
We were only in the area for one night and had a lovely stay in Adrienne's apartment. Lovely spacious self-contained rooms with wonderful views. All of us were made to feel very welcome and we would definitely stay here again if in the area.Toby2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Adrienne came introduced herself and offered any assistance we mite need. The apartment is easy to find with quick communication from Adrienne. The apartment was supplied with milk tea coffee chocolate biscuits board games &large fluffy towells. 1 double &2 small singles in one large bedroom with beautiful views to lie in bed &enjoy. The design is wonderfuly eclectic with pieces to admire while you sit in an aray of comfortable chairs and relax while soaking up the view through floor to ceiling glass windows &doors. We called into Abergavenny which is the gateway to England & about 10mins away where theres shops boutiques cafes &quint pubs offering home cooked food there is also a farmers market on certain day and a large park to enjoy a picnic. In the evening we braved the hot tub which was a little away from the house over icey grass but was perfectly situated to lie there and soak up as much as possible of the wonderful views. Thank you Adrienne for making it an enjoyable experience though out i highly recommend host &apartment & hopefully will be returning in the summerJulie2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Jacqui was kind enough to allow us to stay in her Riverside Apartment for just one night. That is not nearly long enough to enjoy the decor, surroundings and generous provisions that she included. In 'real life' the apartment is even more stunning than the photos. There's a special magic about this place and its surrounding countryside that we would totally recommend.Jane2015-09-14T00:00:00Z
This was a really special place to stay - the accommodation was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, and the bed was amongst the most comfortable I've slept in. The breakfast provided was more than ample and contained a good variety of fruit, yogurt, croissants, meat, bread &c. Jacqui was the perfect host, and we were made to feel very welcome here. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment and would love to go back some day.Marian2016-08-07T00:00:00Z
Lovely apartment flat right on the river bank in most picturesque little Welsh village. Impeccably clean and equipped with all essentials for a comfortable stay (breakfast, teas, coffee, towels etc). Located close to numerous countryside walks that the host Jackie can tell you all about. Strongly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing yet authentic getaway.Callum2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Weggestopt in een van de meest verbazingwekkende en prachtige nationale parken is River Sound! De meest schattige huisje Persoonlijk heb ik in geweest! Toen we aankwamen, Jacqui en John kwam naar buiten om ons te begroeten en waren zo warm en vriendelijk. Jacqui leidde ons rond het huis en hielp ons vinden de plaatsen om te gaan om te zien. Ze was ook zo behulpzaam gedurende het verblijf en voorzien van alles wat we nodig hadden (extra etenswaren voor het diner en meer brandhout). We hebben genoten van het spelen van de piano 's nachts en warm gehouden naast het vuur. Zo'n magische ervaring !! We zullen terugkomen zodra we de tijd krijgen om dat te doen! Omdat we allebei reizen naar vele plaatsen in de wereld waren we erg onder de indruk van de Brecon Beacons en het op onze extra bezoek lijst en zijn van plan om te verblijven in River Sound eens te meer.Cherie 2017-03-16T00:00:00Z
Die Unterkunft ist schön und sauber. War eine schöne Geste frische Milch und Brot bei der Ankunft mit. Jacqui und ihr Mann waren sehr hilfsbereit und sachkundig mit, wohin sie gehen und was zu tun ist. Der Strom und Wasserfall schuf eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre. Insgesamt fantastischer Aufenthalt und wird in der Zukunft wieder.N2017-04-22T00:00:00Z
Jacqui gave us a lovely welcome upon arrival and some great tips on places to visit in the Brecon Beacons. The riverside setting is just beautiful and very relaxing and the property has been well renovated and set out. A very short walk to a good local pub was an added bonus.Mark2016-09-09T00:00:00Z
My partner and I had such a nice time at Jacqui's place. We arrived to a lit fire and a fridge full of goodies for the morning. John popped over to see that we were ok and gave us lots of great tips and the second night helped us light the log burner again when we were struggling!! Felt like a home away from home, beautifully decorated and the bed is so comfortable! The apartment have everything that you need and more and it is very relaxing falling asleep to the sound of the river outside! John and Jacqui were fab hosts and we will most certainly be back! :)Claire2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
The perfect romantic retreat in the Brecon Beacons. Jacqui and John's little cottage has everything any couple looking to get away from it all would need. Peace, quiet, a beautiful landscape to explore - and a lovely place to stay at the end of a day. The cottage is very tastefully decorated, clean and cosy. Loved the wood burner in the living room; and the restorative power of the big bath after our long walks in the Beacons. We felt rejuvenated by our stay. Jacqui and John were excellent, welcoming and helpful hosts: full of useful tips and suggestions. The Coach and Horses just around the corner serves great food too - a cut above standard pub grub. Thanks Jacqui and John - what a lovely memorable weekend away.Paul2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

This was a compact cottage which was excellently fitted out. The location is fairly rural, but only a 5-min drive from Crickhowell. The location meant the only noises we could hear at night were from the local wildlife! The views are fantastic. Nick and Jane were wonderful hosts, even providing breakfast during our stay (muesli, Welsh cakes, croissants, milk, bread, honey, juice etc) which meant we could enjoy leisurely starts to our days. Great wifi connection, Freeview TV, quality bedding, towels, fully equipped kitchen. Crickhowell has many places to eat. A great location for a short stay, we would choose to come here again if planning to walk in the Brecon Beacons again.Samantha2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

This was an exceptionally elegant and comfortable place to stay. Plum Tree Cottage is set in large, beautifully tended grounds. You can go from the door to many lovely walks, along the canal, the Usk Valley or up by the Llangattock escarpment. The Black Mountains, the Brecons and local Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain were within easy reach by car. It is completely peaceful, we saw no cars on the road next to the cottage, only Welsh mountain ponies.miriam2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

A wonderful flat in the heart of the village - tastefully decorated with everything you need to make the flat a home. A welcome pack of local produce was waiting for us on arrival, which was a nice surprise. The beds were incredibly comfortable with a luxurious sheepskin on the floor to step onto when getting out of bed in the morning. Natasha was away while we stayed in the flat but her housekeeper met us to let us into the flat and show us around and to provide a warm and friendly welcome. The flat wasn't booked up for the evening of our departure so they let us keep it until lunchtime, which was handy for having a shower after a morning hike. Definitely recommend Mortimer House and will stay again when I next visit!Hannah2015-04-07T00:00:00Z
WOW! Everything from the location, the accommodation itself, the communication and greetin upon arrival to the welcome basket were all spot-on! This is a very high quality apartment in a lovely town with lots of choice of pubs and restaurants. There is ample parking adjacent to the property and the apartment has just about everything you could ask for. (we enjoyed a DVD on the first night from a great selection - books and games also available!) I honestly cannot think of anything that could have made this any better. Many thanks Natasha (and Beth). Hope to see you again soon.Neil2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Natasha was a wonderful host, and the Mortimer House was everything we expected and more. The beds were incredibly comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the place was very clean with modern appliances. Crickhowell is something out of a storybook. Great pubs and inns for relaxing and dining. We had a delightful full afternoon tea at The Dragon right next door. Everyone in the village was friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring Wales.Lawrence2014-08-12T00:00:00Z

Absolutely fantastic stay - we were SO lucky with the weather - 32, 30 and about 27 degrees! Lovely little patio outside with table and chairs which all meals (including breakfast!) were eaten at. Beautiful walks so close by, seclusion was delightful not a hinderance. New to renting places so didn't think to bring things like cling film but thats our own fault, everything else provided, cute personal soaps, milk and Welsh cakes upon arrival - definitely recommend to anyone. Liz was lovely - very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for making me fall in love with Wales!!! P.s you should bring a car you don't mind going down tight roads ... my partner didn't and was worried about scratches haha.Josephine2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

We found the residence with good directions, although we were initially coming the other way. All facilities worked well, and the pamphlets etc gave us lots of options. Our trip to Cardiff worked out well with a small cost for park and ride including a city tour. Although Julia was not available to see us on arrival, everything was well organised for our visit.Andrew2015-10-10T00:00:00Z

The flat has a delightful location and is outside but within walking distance of a pleasant village and with delightful mountain views that can be seen whilst sitting on the comfy sofa. I really appreciated the tea tray laid out ready to go and with the little bunch of cut flowers. My girlfriend and I were in raptures as we arrived.Bill2015-10-26T00:00:00Z

We arrived late evening and were straight away offered food by other guests having a BBQ in the courtyard. The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views across the countryside. It was exactly as the pictures show, if not better; clean, comfortable and with all the essentials for cooking. Everything seem to have been thought of and we felt at home straight away. We had four bikes between us which were stored in the secure shed, no hassle at all. Julia was very helpful and quick to reply and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will most definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay, JuliaAnnie2014-07-30T00:00:00Z
Tempo terrível e um corte de energia, mas ainda tinha uma adorável. O apartamento era limpo e confortável e bem organizado.Anthony2014-02-10T00:00:00Z
Een prachtig huisje met schitterend uitzicht. Het was perfect loopafstand van de plaatselijke voorzieningen. De thee en koekjes maakte ons extra welkom te voelen. Dank u voor het zo snel te reageren op onze vragen tijdens ons verblijf. Zeker aan te bevelen anderen om hier te verblijven - veel te doen, mooie wandelingen, en een fantastische locatie.Tarecca2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Absolutely beautiful surroundings. We arrived late and there was milk, biscuits and tea and a warm cosy apartment. Ideal location for walks and stunning views from the windows. Julia is an exceptional host. Will be back.Highly recommend.Susie2015-11-04T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location for this cottage and lovely weekend - great pubs in the village + bakery, butchers etc - lots of nice walks nearby for all levels!Safran2014-10-13T00:00:00Z
We loved our time in No. 1 Mortimer House. The apartment is beautifully furnished, clean and has everything you could possibly need. The bed is amazingly comfortable and the bedding was really soft. It is just as it looks in the pictures and easy to find. The parking area is great as this is in the centre of the village. The village is lovely with some good local pubs to eat in (not that you need to as the kitchen has everything you need to cook). Natasha did well to get us in as I booked the same morning we arrived and she went out of her way to try and make sure the keys were available as soon as it was ready. We were given a warm welcome and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again and happily recommend to others!Julia2016-03-14T00:00:00Z
Arriving at No.1 Mortimer house there was a friendly face to let us in and show us around the apartment. The apartment was in prime location in the centre of Crickhowell, perefect for us as we were fishing at glanusk estate. pubs and restraunts were pointed out to us which all are stumbling distance. When we arrived there was a welcome pack of fresh bread, chocolate, welshcakes and milk in the fridge which was a blessing forgetting shops would not be open when we arrived. The internet speeds were fantastic as this is very important to us both needing it for work. We felt so welcome and instantly at home in a very modern location. Beds were super comfortable which was amazing after being up to out necks in the river all day. This is the biggest bargain on AIR B N B I would recommend anyone visiting this area to stay at Mortimer house and deal with the very helpful Natasha. My friend and I are already planning a returning trip and will defiantly stay here again.Rob2016-03-25T00:00:00Z

Thank you so much Natasha for a wonderful stay in Crickhowell. The apartment was beautiful with 360 degree views across the Brecons, lovely homely and modern feel and the apple juice was the icing on the cake! Location was absolutely perfect for the pubs and our fantastic 10 mile walk in the sunshine, I would highly recommend no 3 Mortimer House.Morag2015-06-29T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay at No. 3 Mortimer House - Beth was really friendly and helpful on arrival and Natasha was really welcoming too. The flat was wonderful, spectacular views and nestled right in the heart of Crickhowell which is a great place to stay with lots of places to eat (we can recommend Number 18 for breakfast!) and lovely shops to potter around. It's also a fantastic base for walking in the Brecon Beacons. There is parking too which is really useful. The kitchen and bathroom were great and the bed was really comfortable. And the Welsh products in the bathroom were absolutely lovely!! And the other Welsh goodies left for us to enjoy were a wonderful welcome. We'll definitely be booking up to stay here again. Thank you.Jen2015-04-08T00:00:00Z

After a long day at the Hay Festival on what was quite possibly the hottest day of the year my boyfriend and I headed to The Studio. After getting a little bit lost on the way we phoned Jane who gave us detailed directions. When we arrived at the studio Jane was there to meet us at the door to welcome us and show us where to park. The location of the property provides outstanding views of the surrounding countryside where we were lucky enough to see a couple of birds of prey, wild rabbits, a variety of birds and the local farm animals. We also had a visit from a very affectionate ginger cat who came in for a fuss then went on their merry way. The studio itself is immaculate, beautifully decorated and well equipped. There is a small kitchenette with a sink, toaster, kettle (with tea, coffee, milk and sugar) and equipment enough to make some basic food. The living area is very cosy with a low level bed with ample pillows and blankets to make a very cosy place to sleep. There is also a large selection of books to read, a TV with VHS and DVD player (although we didn't use it) and a table and chairs to relax on. The bathroom is very well finished with quite possibly the best shower I have ever used. The water pressure is insane! Towels are also provided as well as a bath robe should you need it. Externally, there is a small seating area which overlooks the gorgeous countryside views, comprising of a table and two chairs. There is also a light outside should you wish to sit outside after the sun goes down. For an additional £5 per person Jane can supply a delicious continental breakfast for you. This consisted of, warm bread rolls and assorted pastries, butter and jam, Greek yogurt, granola, fresh fruit and fruit compotes, all delivered to your door at a time of your choosing in an adorable picnic basket. Overall our stay was wonderful. The location is ideal, tranquil and secluded, but also only about 40 minutes from Hay-on-Wye, so it is ideal for anyone wishing to attend the Hay Festival. Jane was a pleasure to meet and gave us a thorough tour of the property and was only a phone call away when we couldn't locate the cutlery drawer (there is a secret drawer in the table) but also allowed us to enjoy our stay without interruption. If we are planning a trip up to this part of Wales again we won't hesitate to book to stay here again.Bethan2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

Adele is a fantastic host. She made us very welcome & was so generous with her time, advice & recommendations. Her property is comfortable, cosy & in a beautiful tranquil garden setting. Can not recommend highly enough if you want to stay in the Breton BeaconsEleanor2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
The house is on a secluded street in the beautiful Welsh hills. With very good walks right on the doorstep, its a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The sitting room is very cosy and filled with interesting things, as well as being very comfortable place to put your feet up in front of a fire after a days walking. Adele was a great host and gave us a lot of information on the local area which was very helpful. Overall she a 5* host and you will certainly enjoy your stay at her lovely home.Max2017-01-22T00:00:00Z
My friends and I had a tremendous time at Avalon Nook. The views were splendid and the garden gave us a great opportunity to use the BBQ and fire pit! The cosy living room with the real wood fire was a real treat! Adele is a brilliant host; affable, helpful, not to mention flexible and well-organised. She helped arrange a late check-out which really allowed us to enjoy the house in an unhurried fashion. Definitely recommended.HARMINDER2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Fabulous spot in the heart of beautiful Brecon Beacons. Well located for walks and for an outstanding village pub. Cosy surrounds with lots to do for those fairweather walkers - books, games, music, dvd's. Really well appointed and loved the little touches - choccies on the bed and fresh, bread, milk, butter and eggs etc for breakfast. Looking forward to a return trip. Thank you Adele.Anna 2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
Staying at Adele's was pure bliss. Adele is a warm and generous host with a beautiful house, and gorgeous garden. We felt more rested after this stay than we have any other airbnb. Thank-you, Adele!Sam2017-05-23T00:00:00Z
Adele is a warm, lovely and thoughtful host. We stayed for one night, but wish it could have been longer - particularly as we only found the wide range of dvd's just before we left. The most lovely aspect is perfect backdrop, and we recovered from our journey sitting in the lovely garden and reading on the hammock.. next time maybe a winter trip to properly enjoy the cosiness of the house - the fire, books and rugs.. a beautiful special placeClare2016-08-18T00:00:00Z
We came to stay at Adele's place for the duration of the Green Man festival, about 20 minutes away by car. We're so glad we did. It rained almost non-stop and it was so lovely to come back to the house each night with the fairy lights twinkling and light some candles and have a glass of wine. It's a quirky place with stacks of interesting books on the shelves, some great records to play on the player in the lounge and definitely the first en suite kitchen I've ever seen! I'm madly jealous of the 1950s sink unit in there and wanted to take it home with me. Adele made sure we had easy access to the property, left all the instructions we needed and even sent us home with a box of veg and herbs from her amazing garden. And our son loved her two dogs.Julia2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Adele's place was fabulously located for our short walking holiday. It was quiet and the beds were really comfortable. It was really warm in the property when we arrived so we adjusted this down to a comfortable temperature. The areas is so safe, the property was left open for our arrival. The house is fantastically quirky, with lots of interesting artwork, books and possessions lining every shelf. The quirkiest thing about the layout was the en-suite kitchen, but this is described by Adele in the booking and actually gives a fanastic view for washing up on the 1st floor. Adele provided us with a whole host of stuff that we didn't expect to be there including - milk, eggs, toilet rolls, bread, butter, hand wash, washing up liquid, hand towels, washing up sponge, kitchen roll and cling film. The WiFi was strong and the property had a well equipped movie and games cupboard and a selection of walking books/maps that guests can borrow. The property has a beautifully tended garden with benches and magnificent views directly onto the Brecon Beacons National Park. There was ample wood chopped and readily available to be used on the fire. Adele introduced herself to us and let us know that if we needed anything she was there, but maintained a respectful distance and wasn't at all intrusive. There was secure parking on the private drive. The property is walking distance from a cracking pub (The Swan Inn) where we had good food both nights. We would return in a heartbeat.Nicola2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

Quiet and cosy base to explore the southern Wales. Mike and Mal are good communicators and very knowledgeable about the area. They provided us with a nice basket of fresh fruit, plenty of breakfast food and even fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Highly recommended.William2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
Mike and Mal were extremely welcoming and helpful, and the room was so comfortable and a really relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. Plus, the breakfast supplies were great! I was only in the area for a couple of days for the food festival in Abergavenny, but I would have loved to stay longer to explore the area further. I would gladly stay again if I make my way back to Wales in the future!Emily2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Mike was very welcoming and the little extras like home made jam made it that more homely. The apartment was clean and spacious with a gas fire for chilly nights. It's right on the canal for some lovely walks, and very well placed for all the Brecon Beacons has to offer. We would definitely recommend it.Talitha2015-04-06T00:00:00Z
Host Mike was welcoming and informative. The area was very limited for decent pubs/eateries so had to drive to Crickhowell which was not ideal. Took the offer of a lift from Mike's son in law which was decent of him as he is a long distance driver.Jo2015-05-25T00:00:00Z
Mike and his family have already surprised me upon arrival. I found a filled with wonderful things refrigerator and even a large bowl of fruit. What a nice reception. When the property is - as described - a very nice annex with private entrance, bathroom, a fireplace and lots of books / nformation about the environment. In addition, Mike offered further assistance at any time. The surrounding area is picturesque, especially the canal with its houseboats and the mountains beyond. For nature lovers to recommend particular very.Uta2015-09-25T00:00:00Z

Mike und Mal Platz war fast der Star der Show, während unsere Osterpause. Es war so schön, wieder am Ende des Tages kommen, was effektiv ein privates Ferienhaus. Es ist eine sehr komfortable, neu und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, geräumige Zimmer mit eigenen Nassraum-Dusche und eigenem Eingang. Wir mögen die Fähigkeit, unsere eigenen Lebensmittel zu machen, so der Mini-Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle und Wasserkocher waren von unschätzbarem Wert. Es war warm, aber trotzdem an den kälteren Abenden war es wirklich schön und gemütlich, um die Erwärmung mit der Gasfeuer steigern. Das Haus liegt direkt an einem Kanal gelegen, so dass ein sehr schöner Spaziergang ist buchstäblich vor der Haustür, und es ist schnell auf den Hauptstraßen zu bekommen, um andere Teile der Brecon Beacons gehen (in der Nähe empfohlen Attraktionen sind Big Pit Kohlebergwerk-Museum und Raglan Schloss, aber Tal-y-bont Reservoir und auch die nationalen Schauhöhlen erreichbar). Mike und Mal waren schön, freundliche Gastgeber, nur wirklich, dass Sie uns wieder mit Dingen, aber immer zur Hand, wenn wir eine Frage hatten, und um Hallo zu sagen, in der Früh und prüfen, ob alles in Ordnung sei. Sie nachdenklich bereitgestellt verschiedene Dinge in der Küche. Wir fühlten uns willkommen Super, ich nehme an, es war wie in einem Hotel mit deinen Freunden laufen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall empfehlen diese Unterkunft an andere weiter und würde nicht zögern, wieder zu kommen!Igor2014-04-22T00:00:00Z

This was a lovely little place up on a hill, with a fantastic view from the living room. The place was warm and very clean, and a short drive to Abergavenny town. There are also some good pubs and restaurants within a mile or two. We stayed for 2 nights. Sandra and her husband, who live next door were also really friendly and welcoming. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely look to stay at their place again.Albert2015-05-25T00:00:00Z
The accommodation is lovely, the hosts so friendly and welcoming; all in all a fantastic place and will certainly visit again. The view from the sofa was so incredible it was hardly worth even considering putting the TV on. Immediately on arrival Sandra managed to wrangle us rare free table at the local pub (The Crown) which served some of the nicest food I have eaten out in ages. The local real ales were excellent too. The self contained apartment is spotless and perfectly located for hikes; in fact the start of the walk up Sugar Loaf (also one of the best bits) starts at the gate 5-10 meters from the front door. A friend and I stayed for two days and in addition to the hike, went cycling along side the canal, again the bike hire place was recommended by Sandra, was only a 10 min drive away and was superb. A thoroughly fantastic little trip all round.Paul2015-08-02T00:00:00Z
Lot of space. Sorrounded by green. Direct mountains view. Squirrels, rabbits, birds, donkeys. And lovely Sandra and Chris, who helped us much more than required. Like being at home. Everything as described. Clean. The directions given by Sandra where accurate. It's two minutes driving from Abergavenny centre. Pun is Fun. Thanks! (and not just for the Wellies)Albert2015-08-24T00:00:00Z
This is an absolutely amazing place! It is very close to Abergavenny, just a few minutes' drive, but is still secluded enough to give you a very countryside feel. The view from the living room, as is obvious in the pictures, is special. The apartment has everything you could need for a short stay and Sandra and her husband could not have made us feel more welcome. They were on hand to help out with whatever we needed, suggesting walks, bike hire places and even restaurants! There's an amazing walk up a trail from just behind the house, and the bike hire place is a ten minute drive away. Eat at the Hardwick, if you're in the mood for some stunning food!Kartik2015-10-11T00:00:00Z
Sandra was very helpful and easy to communicate with, the accommodation itself is very pleasant and in a lovely location with superb views. Fully recommend a trip to the Walnut Tree restuarant.mark2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
What a magical place to stay! Great hospitality, well equiped, great location, and what a view! The field of oaks behind the house has a wonderous and mysterious fairytale feel...and another stunning view from the top of the hill. Thanks again Sandra and Chris.Peter2016-06-26T00:00:00Z

I just got yet another one of these calls, so thought I'd put it up for discussion:
What do you do with companies calling you to complete a "brief" survey or to "update our information" or what have you? I get several of these calls per day from someone wanting to survey my customer service experience, or wanting to update this database or that.
I know that telemarketers have to eat too and that customer feedback is really valuable to an organization and helps out in the long run. But I have to say I get very resentful at this flood of people who somehow think my time is available for anybody who got my name, title and phone number from some list out there.
What's your standard response to this kind of thing?

I usually tell them I'm busy.
If they offer an incentive like £20 I'll do it, you normally get the option to give it to a charity at the end of the call.
this is assuming they've made it through my phone screening system.
Aug 5, 2010 at 10:09 UTC
I always tell them I don't have the time or it is company policy not to waste time with surveys.
When I get a sales call a few months down the line, thanking me for completing a survey and they want to reward me with a free gift, I know they are lying.
Aug 5, 2010 at 10:13 UTC
Usuarlly I tell them "Sorry but I do not have time right now"
Aug 5, 2010 at 10:17 UTC
If the survey is from a credible source (Gartner, Forrester, etc.) I ususlly take the time to take it. Other wise I ask who it sponsering the survey and if it is a vendor of ours I also take the survey. Otherwise I brush it off with time constraints or ingorance.

Mimesis Solutions Limited is an IT service provider.
Can you call back Friday after 12. We finish at 12 on Friday so the phone rings and rings. However when we have to stay over we have a slight issue with a load of sales people calling.
Aug 5, 2010 at 10:19 UTC
I worked with a guy who would cut them off and ask them what he is getting for doing a survey. They always told him nothing. Then he would hang up.
He would also tell them to send him an iPod first then he would do the survey. They would hangup.
Fun stuff. I miss working with that guy.

Aug 5, 2010 at 10:27 UTC
If it is a company I do business with or if I need a break from what I am doing I will take the "survey". Otherwise I politiely but firmly tell them I am not interested and have no interest in rescheduling. I then say "good bye".
If they keep talking they get hung up on. I always appreciate a salesman who knows when to back down and I appreciate not having to hang up on someone so I may remember those rare calls positively if they call back to try again at a later date.

Company policy not to do surveys here. I don't trust them all to be legit, if a social engineer needs to gather some basic information these types of surveys are a good way to do it. Since I don't trust anyone no surveys.

Lee holder filter slipping problem
Hi all,
I went with a Lee holder system, but had a bad experience. Any thoughts on what I should ask of Lee?
I bought a Lee square CPL, but yesterday, while shooting on a tripod, with little wind, without touching the rig, and without vibration or bumping, the polarizer just slid out of the holder and broke on the ground.
The plastic in the holder fins doesn't seem to hold like it used to, even though its not very old (less than 3 months--with really not that much use). The screws holding the fins in place are properly installed and torqued--it's the plastic.
If that happens and could happen again, maybe it's just a bad system.
I wrote Lee USA and they said sorry. Can't replace filter, but will sell me another at a deep discount and then include a couple of new slots. Sounds like they won't even replace the slots unless I buy a new filter from them.
I'd rather get satisfaction from them then be unhappy with it and publicize a bad experience overall.
Any thoughts?

Christopher Gross' Scallops with Green Tea
Courtesy of Christopher Gross
Yesterday we wrapped up our conversation with Chef Christopher Gross of Christopher's and Crush Lounge about his time spent in Japan during the Tohoku earthquake. Today he will show us how to make a scallop dish inspired by the Orient. Just as you might expect of Japan, the flavors here are clean, crisp and simple. The only thing that's missing is the sake to go with it.
Scallops with Matcha Green Tea
Yield: 1 portion
For the scallops:
Large scallops 4 each
Canola oil 1 teaspoon
Unsalted butter 1 teaspoon
1. Sautee scallops in the butter and oil, browning on both sides (about one minute on each side) then remove and keep warm.
See how to use the green tea after the jump.
For the sauce:
Chopped shallots 1 teaspoon
Olive oil 1 teaspoon
Scallop hinges (that have been removed from the scallops)
Dry vermouth 1 oz
Dry white wine 2 oz
Matcha green tea 1 1/2 teaspoons
Cream 2 oz
Unsalted butter 1 teaspoon
1. Sweat shallots in olive oil for one minute then add vermouth, white wine and hinges.
2. Reduce wine by half then add the powdered tea and cream. Bring this to a simmer and then whisk in butter.
3. Strain sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
For the garnish:
Cherry tomatoes (cut into halves) 3 each
Asparagus (cooked and sliced thin) 3 spears
Extra virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon
1. Gently warm asparagus and tomatoes in the olive oil and season to taste.
1. Arrange scallops on plate and vegetables around scallops.
2. Serve sauce on the side.
