Travelling to and from the World Cup

Whether you’re travelling to Germany full of hope and expectation (if you’re older, that will be a feeling that you dare not hope for anything more than mild despair), or returning euphoric or heart-broken, you’ll be faced with many opportunities to part with your hard earned cash.

Even The Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer, who played such a key role in securing the World Cup for Germany, has spoken out against the naked profiteering surrounding the tournament. Funny that – football and naked profiteering – whatever next?!!

Despair and euphoria are bad for your cash. As emotions rage you could lose yourself in an orgy of celebrations or indulgent consolation. Imagine what Posh Beckham might do if David scores a hat-trick in the final or, perhaps more likely, runs off with Claudia Schiffer – get the picture? It could be expensive.

Before you go, make sure you plan a few basics. Mobile phone charges abroad can be astronomic. But an enterprising group of England fans has set up www.englandcalling.co.uk to sell mobile phone SIM cards that don’t incur international calling charges.

Whatever you do, don’t travel without holiday insurance. It need not cost much and you can find the best deals at http://www.moneysupermarket.com/travelinsurance/ .

But all of this is mere tinkering. The real damage happens in Duty Free or in the shops. How do you make sure that you’re not getting ripped off? Simple. Sign up free for the text4price travelling abroad service. Just give us some basic contact details, put a new contact in your mobile – text4price – and save our international number +447781474397

Next time you’re in duty-free or travelling...
* Text us with the word 'find' and the product name. eg. 'find ipod nano'.
