How to save your summer?

« on: July 10, 2022, 07:02:38 »

Picked up from an advert that passed in the background on the TV last night - so details incomplete:

Britain's Travel Hell - How to Save your Summer - 8 pm on Tuesday (That'll be 12th July 2022) - Channel (?) 4 or 5.

a) Please help confirm details (anyone)

b) Ahead of the program - what is your advice on ensuring good journeys / holidays this summer?

The programme is on Channel 5 at 20:00-21:00 on Tuesday 12 July according to https://www.freeview.co.uk/tv-guide. The summary says "We'll hear first-hand stories from those who have experienced their worst holiday nightmares, as well as top tips from travel experts on how to avoid it happening to us."

I guess it will focus on airports and airlines and show lots of unhappy holidaymakers.
