Middle East Travel, Property Adverts, Delay Repay

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Following on from the joint US/Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend, we look at the knock-on effects for those in the region and those who were meant to be travelling there. It's meant huge disruption to international air travel, with flights cancelled and hubs such as Doha unavailable - with as many as 200,000 British people thought to be in the affected area. We also look at what it means for their insurance, and whether they'll be able to reclaim any costs. Listeners have been contacting us about Delay Repay, the method of claiming money back from your rail journey if you're delayed over a certain amount of time. They say it's too convoluted and we hear how there may be changes to the system on the way. Plus property adverts which promise a paradise but actually turn out to be the pits - how different can the reality be for renters desperate to find somewhere to live?
