At Easy Avenues, we want to be responsible in our travel choices, to ensure we’re offsetting our environmental impact. Therefore, not only do we offer our clients the opportunity to offset the CO₂ emissions on their travel, but we as a company are investing in carbon offsetting projects worldwide.

These projects provide lasting social and economic benefits in developing countries globally, both directly and indirectly.

One project we have supported is Energy Efficient Lighting in India:

"This project was developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy efficient lighting in India, thus reducing the electricity, and therefore carbon emissions generated from the grid. When established, around 76% of India’s electricity was generated from coal – and so by reducing energy consumption and efficiency, over 35,000 tonnes of CO2e are offset each year."

The new rules regarding limits on liquids have changed just 9 days after they were introduced.

Restrictions at 6 UK airports - including London's City and Southend - have been temporarily reintroduced as of 9th June.

It adds to the existing chaos, where multiple airports - including Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester - have already missed the original deadline.

Please ensure you check the rules at your airport before you travel.

All of the airports which are affected have upgraded to new high-tech CT scanners.

Several UK airports - including London's City and Southend - have now lifted the 100ml liquid limit rule, which came into force over the weekend.

However, due to delays to the installation of scanning equipment, many airports have missed this deadline and continue to abide by the previous rules.

If you are travelling soon, please take care to check the limits that apply at your airport ➡

Read on for information about the delays affecting the 100ml liquid limit at UK airports and what it means for you and your travel planning.

It almost sounds paradoxical. Rising costs and lower costs, both at the same time?

Travel budgets are increasing by 6% year on year, according to a recent survey of corporate travel managers by Morgan Stanley.

So with more money being invested in to travel, how can you make sure that you're getting the best deals?

This isn't just about direct savings on your travel either. Consider how you can save time on the increased number of bookings.

Time that could be better spent on your business.

A recent report by the Business Travel Association has highlighted the growing expense of dropping off and collecting passengers at UK airports.

With little alternatives - given the costs of parking a car for a week could easily exceed £200 - it is asking the government to review these price rises that are affecting travellers.
