Lots and lots of up to date travel information from the makers of the books.

Messaging service for travellers to ask for and give advice. Excellent source of hard to find out, up to date information.

Student travel agents. This site includes a fare finder to world wide destinations (which only seems to work in Windows), current special offers and suggestions for `offbeat' travel routes. STA also have a mailing list which can be subscribed to at their site. This means the latest offers are e-mailed to you direct.

Another student travel agent, but this time the site is more interestingly designed and contains more information. Campus also provide a fare finding service.

Information on how to get hold of an ISIC card, proof of student status worldwide and key to many, many discounts.

Not quite as good as Lonely Planet's site, but recently re-vamped and definitely worth a look.

An online travel magazine, with some interesting stories, but a lack of depth does let it down.

Includes an on-line ticket enquiry and booking facility. Lots of detail given, including times of flights and connections, any restrictions and exact number of available seats at the price offered.

Enter a city name and this site produces a long list of cheap flights there, together with the agent offering the fare and their details.

BA's `no frills airline'. Flights from London Stanstead to Edinburgh, Milan, Rome, Venice, Munich and more. I can't comment on the quality of the airline itself as I haven't flown with them, but this website is stylishly designed and the prices seem excellent. Flights can be searched for and booked.

Another budget airline, again operating out of London Stansted. Offers cheap flights to amongst others Dublin, Stockholm and Oslo.

Lots of last minute deals on flights, hotel rooms, theatre tickets and more. LastMinute also have a mailing list which means the best deals are sent to you by e-mail every week.

Search for train routes and times between any UK stations. Very useful, although no prices are given and this site gets an awful lot of traffic, meaning it can be very slow.

A German based site (in English), this gives train times and routes across Europe, although outside of Germany it only seems to cover major routes.

Excellent site that can tell you how much almost any currency is worth in your own currency (or any other). You can also generate a handy wallet sized `cheat sheet', detailing gradual amounts of the currency and how much its worth (e.g. £1=10FF, £2=20FF, etc).

Advice on safety in 180 countries worldwide, including complete no go areas and high dangerous places to visit.
