Luxury means different things to everyone, and this might be slightly controversial.

For me, it isn’t always about the most expensive hotel or upgrading everything in sight and flying in business class. It’s the little things that remove the faff: parking close to the terminal, having somewhere comfortable to wait at the airport, a room when you actually need it, and not spending the first hour of your holiday in a taxi queue.

Not every trip needs every extra. Budget matters, obviously, but adding even one can make a very ordinary holiday feel a bit special.

What is your little holiday luxury that you will always pay extra for? Mine is airport parking.

Follow for practical travel tips, honest advice and the occasional rant about dragging suitcases around a car park.

One of the things I love about Ikos is the complimentary Local Drive Adventure - a car for the day and the perfect excuse to get out and explore.

We headed south from Ikos Dassia to Chlomos, down to Boukari for lunch by the sea, and finished at Issos Beach for a swim.

Nothing complicated. No massive sightseeing list. Just a really lovely day seeing a different side of Corfu and probably my favourite day of the trip.

And this is exactly why I like experiencing the hotels and destinations I recommend for myself. The hotel matters, but so does what you can do once you step outside it.

A few facts about me that have absolutely nothing to do with booking holidays but possibly explain why I do things the way I do. 😂

If you’re new here, hello. I’m Jill: travel adviser, slightly anxious flyer, walking bus-route database, aspiring HGV driver and owner of a handbag that could treat a small parish

I might not remember your name straight away, but I’ll remember exactly what you told me you loved and hated about your last holiday.

Which one surprised you most?

“Not another bloody app…” 😩

I know. I can practically hear you saying it when I ask you to download the MyTC app.

But this one genuinely earns its place on your phone.

Once your holiday is booked with me, everything is in there.

✈️ Your flights
🏨 Your hotels
🚗 Your transfers
📄 Your travel documents
💳 Your payments
📱 And, most importantly… me.

No searching through six months of emails at the airport trying to remember which one has your transfer voucher.

No screenshots buried somewhere amongst 4,000 photos of your dog/kids/dinner.

No printing out half a rainforest and carrying a folder around with you.

It’s all there, in one place.

And if something changes while you’re away? I can update your documents and information in the app too.

But my favourite bit is that little contact button.

Because an app is handy.

An app with an actual human being at the other end of it, who knows who you are, knows your holiday and is there if you need help?

That’s a different thing entirely.

So yes… I am going to ask you to download another app.

But I promise, this one is worth it. ❤️
