Episode 3

Julia Somerville, Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford are back to help keep your holiday on track. Today, the trips that stumbled from the outset, including the family whisked away from five-star luxury to spend the rest of their break in a grimy quarantine hotel. The team investigate the unstoppable rise of the villa rental scams catching out unwary customers, and we hear the stories of travellers who arrived to find their hotels had been closed for months. At the holiday advice clinic, our experts try to help out a couple whose holiday refund was sent to a bankrupt agency, and travel guru Simon Calder goes west with his guide to a trip along the USA’s legendary Route 66.
