00:00Yes, fuel costs are worrying, and I think that it is going to affect an awful lot of people and
00:08their vacationing habits.
00:10I do think that it's a bit of a shame that people think that they can only get a decent
00:17holiday abroad at a cheaper price.
00:23And I think sometimes that the UK maybe prices themselves out of a good vacation because of the prices that
00:32they charge.
00:33I mean, I'm not actually planning to go abroad. I've already got two weeks' books.
00:38We weren't planning to go abroad until probably December, so I guess I haven't really focused on that particularly.
00:45I'm going abroad. I'm not concerned too much that they might be cancelled, because I think they might.
00:50But they've got to give you an alternative, or your money back saying, if you can't go, you can't go.
00:56That's it. Simple as that.
00:58Not at all. My mum is actually flying back to Thailand tomorrow. We are doing OK.
01:03We also booked a flight to Thailand as well in the summer. We're not concerned at all whatsoever from Birmingham.
01:11I think Birmingham Airport is actually doing a lot of improvement nowadays, so I think it's actually doing well.
01:19And the security going through quicker. And, you know, with the insurance and what's not, I'm not really worried about
01:27flight cancellation.
01:28I'm relying on that, yeah.
