The Long-haul edition is HERE [Everything's better On the Beach]( [BREAKING: easyjet Summer 2024 flights released!]( All the best bits and (holi)bobs in your inbox every Thursday. Long-haul edition. [Lounging, long-hauling and loving life]( [Lounging, long-hauling and loving life]( The last time I went long-haul, I was dashing off to the Big Apple with the family for New Year's. No, we didnât make it to Times Square for the ball drop, but we did plenty of ice skating in Central Park (I fell overâ¦a lot) and a load of staring at the Rockefeller tree. To make the most of the trip, we jumped into the airport lounge before our flight as well (which you can get FREE access when booking a long-haul jolly until September 17th September, btw). Itâs safe to say I took advantage of the free pastries in there, too. In this weekâs edition of The Extra Scoop, weâre talking all things airport lounge as well as how you can swap out your standard European cerveza for a Thai one without spending any extra, meaning you can go long-hauling with less stress, more spenders and guaranteed memories... [Luke]( [Letâs go long-haul >]( [Gone Loungin']( [Gone Loungin']( We sent Leigh, our social media whizz, along to the brand-spanking new Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport before his trip to Florida. He got right amongst that airport lounge life to get a real taste of it as weâre giving FREE access worth up to £45 per adult* for people booking long-haul holidays with us. I spoke to him in the office once heâd got back from his gallivanting, and he said he fell asleep on the plane because of all of the FREE chicken and chorizo pasta he wolfed down. Thatâs one way to make the most of it, I guess. And Iâm sure it had nothing to do with all the complimentary pints of Birra Moretti he had, either... [Come lounge with us >]( [Falling in love]( [Falling in love]( [Make it long-haul >]( [Where to go and when...]( [Where to go and when...]( The other day my girlfriend asked where was best for a long-haul holiday in March, and being the nerd I am, I had the answer locked and loaded (Florida, btw). My brain started ticking and whirring (dangerous, I know), and I was thinking all about the best destinations for each month of the year. Mauritius in June, Barbados in April. Holidays are all year round, thatâs for sure, which is why Iâve made (by âIâve madeâ, I mean I got our designer, Isabella, to do it) this handy infographic for you so you can pick your fave for whenever you fancy... [Where to go and when]( [Pick your fave >]( [Getting the long-haul lowdown]( [Getting the long-haul lowdown]( The team and I are all over long-haul holidays, picking out the best from the west and pitting them against the beasts from the east. Our handy video maestro, Rob, has been working day and night (not literally, donât worry about himâ¦honest) to pull together all this juicy video content, especially for you, so you can pick your fave from both sides of the world. This means all the hard work is done; you just need to choose your deal, smash the book button and start the countdown... [Watch now >]( [The Messi Effect]( [The Messi Effect]( Look away, Cristiano Ronaldo fans, because Lionel Messi is now officially the best ever. I mean, we all definitely knew that already, didnât we though? But now that heâs made a move to David Beckhamâs Inter Miami, weâve seen a 157% increase in holiday bookings to the city. Yeah, heâs won the World Cup and seven Ballon dâOrs (at the time of writing thisâ¦*wink* *wink*), but we all know the real reason heâs the GOAT is because of his ability to sell holidays. Thatâs the real benchmark.
