Ryanair announces 4 new routes to Bordeaux Airport and 1 million €15 airfares for travel in November and December.

Ryanair has announced that it will open four new routes to and from Bordeaux starting on 17th December 2009.

The four new routes are from Bologna, Brussels (Charleroi), Edinburgh and Porto to Bordeaux Airport and will deliver an estimated 200,000 passengers and tourists per year into Bordeaux.

Ryanair celebrated the announcement of their four new Bordeaux routes by releasing 1 million seats at €15 each for travel across its European network in November and December which are available for booking now on www.ryanair.com.

Remember that in order to get your €15 cheap flight and ONLY pay €15 you will have to avoid Ryanair’s additional charges. However, this is quite simple and all you have to do is remember that they are a low cost airline and avoid any administrative charges or overheads that they would incur:

How to avoid Ryanair’s extra charges?

• Pay with Visa Electron – avoid credit card charges
• Print your boarding pass and bring it with you – there are no more check ins so avoid the charge of having one printed
• Travel with carry on luggage only – avoid paying for baggage to go in the hold
• Take your seat as it comes – avoid paying for priority boarding

Remember that when you are travelling with hand luggage only, all of your carry on items and travel size toiletries must comply with current airport security regulations for restrictions on hand luggage – if its more than 100ml it will end up in the bin!

From 24th November 2009 Air France will join the other SkyTeam Partners in Terminal 4 at London Heathrow Airport.

The new location at Terminal 4 will see Air France join KLM, Delta and other Skyteam partners using a new SkyTeam dedicated check-in area.

The new SkyTeam lounge is around 1600 square meters over 2 levels  boasting 300 seats, two VIP rooms, a quiet room, a separate children’s area and an extended Wellness Centre.

As well as having 30 self-service kiosks in the Economy check in area there is also a fast track access available for Business Class customers. There is a new Premium check in area dedicated to SkyTeam First, Business, and Premium Economy customers, as well as Sky Team Elite and Elite Plus card holders. The dedicated 300 square meter facility will include 14 check in desks and 10 self-service kiosks, together with a comfortable seating area

As always with air travel ensure that you conform to the current airport security regulations for hand luggage and make sure that all travel size toiletries are less than 100ml.

Estée Lauder have unveiled the latest addition to its moisturising portfolio. “Hydrationist” is said to replenish thirsty skin with youth-inducing moisture lasting up to 24 hours and will make its UK debut in Harrods from February 2010.

Moisturisation is so important because dehydration accelerates the skins’ ageing process. So basically, if you want to slow down the ageing process, hydrating or moisturising the skin needs to be addressed as a priority.

Estée Lauder Hydrationist Moisturisers

Hydrationist is a new travel size moisturiser which delivers an immediate burst of hydration that reaches where skin needs it most, as well as a long-lasting moisturisation effect which helps skin to absorb water and keep it “locked” inside.

It is also enhanced by a concentration of the minerals magnesium, calcium and zinc, which help skin to carry out its own natural daily functions more efficiently, such as moisture barrier repair.

Estée Lauder claim that on application, Hydrationist makes the skin feel softer, smoother and more hydrated, with thirsty skin being replenished with up to an 81% immediate moisture boost. Skin will also stay hydrated for up to 24 hours and the appearance of fine, dry lines diminishes.

They also claim that regular application of Hydrationist works over time to help skin build and maintain a naturally strong moisture barrier, strengthening it by up to 50% after four weeks of continued use. It also helps skin maintain its own natural moisture for deep, long-lasting and sustainable hydration.

Hydrationist is available in three versions:

• a Creme for Dry Skin
• a Creme for Normal/Combination Skin
• a Lotion for Normal/Combination Skin

Each of these 50ml travel size moisturisers will be priced at around £32.
