What's new and how to get the best from your Holiday

LOUNGING AROUND

THE Post Office is the first High Street travel insurance provider to offer flight delay assistance. If your flight is delayed by two hours or more, you can relax in a lounge while you wait (in 650 lounges across more than 300 airports). Free to those with Premier and Premier Plus cover, postoffice.co.uk.

WINTER WINNER

THERE’S a new way to meet Santa. The Arctic Treehouse Hotel, near Lapland’s capital Rovaniemi, has 32 pod suites on a snowy hillside, with floor to ceiling forest views. You might even catch the Northern Lights from your bed. A three-night package is £1,899 pp, including flights, regent-holidays.co.uk.

MEX FEST

SINCE Donald Trump’s plans for a wall to keep Mexicans out of the U.S., the number of Americans planning a short break there has spiked.

Data from hotels. com shows searches for Mexico increased by 105 per cent on the day of the final U.S. Presidential debate.
