While genuine flight and hotel deals are hard to come by, Which? According to our recent survey, both Travelzoo and Secret Escapes source good-value breaks and are transparent about costs. Holidaymakers were generally pleased with their experiences of both brands. A Travelzoo customer told us their deal was ‘good value for money compared with booking directly’. However, members had mixed ratings about customer service – both firms scored a middling three out of five stars in this category. They also both scored three out of five stars on flexible or free-to-cancel deals. An average rating in this area is not surprising, because the level of flexibility seems to vary deal by deal. With Secret Escapes, you’ll find some hotel-only offers that permit unlimited date changes up to eight days before travel (without charge). For many hotel-only or day-trip deals on Travelzoo, you can cancel and get a full refund if you change your mind within 14 days of purchase.
Beach wheelchairs and beach mats are becoming increasingly more available. Do some research, and keep in mind that you may need to reserve yours ahead of time. You may also be able to rent or borrow a beach wheelchair from a local medical supply store. When choosing a location, it’s generally a good idea to consider the weather and time of year. If your MS is sensitive to extreme temperatures, you may wish to limit travel to spring or fall, when conditions are more comfortable. Whether you use a mobility aid or not, there shouldn’t be any destinations that are off limits (COVID-19 notwithstanding). People travel the world with a wide spectrum of abilities, and the tourism industry is accustomed to finding creative ways to be inclusive. If fatigue is an issue, save energy by using wheelchair assistance at the airport (even if you’re not a regular mobility aid user).

The picnic lunch costs $15 per person and is given to you once you arrive in Milford Sound. Hi, there will be 9 people traveling together from Brisbane in August. We would like to do the flight/cruise/heli or visa versa from Qtown. How many of us can fly together at one time? Are there any group booking discounts available? I used to work at Milford Sound 20 years ago and cant wait to show my family your wonderful country. Look forward to hearing from you. Hi Leeanne, yes you will all fly over together in the fixed wing as they can fit 9 passengers however if you come back in the heli then you will be split in two heli’s as they can only take 6 passengers. I have another question: What is the advantage of doing this trip with two heli rides verses one plane and one heli? I suppose you get to land on both the glacier and the mountains?
This island may have suffered during Hurricane Maria, but it responded beautifully to the pandemic. At the time of writing, their vaccination rate was higher than any of the 50 states. Puerto Rico lets you get an international vibe to your vacation without having anyone in your family get a passport. See a colonial-era fort in the capital of San Juan, or circle the edges of the island for Caribbean beaches all around. The inner island has something to offer, too. Take a bus ride into the interior for a few hours, and you and your kids can experience an actual tropical rain forest. Hike in lush foliage, eat lunch under a waterfall or take a zip line ride among the tall canopy. If you’re ready to tackle international travel with your family, then Australia might be the place to be. Their tourism sector got hammered during the pandemic since they closed their island nation borders to nearly everyone. However, as they reopen for business, there should be deals to be had for quite some time.
