UK residents spent over Β£35 billion abroad in the 12 months to April 2015 say the Office of National Statistics but what's the best way to pay on holiday?

Should you take cash, pre-paid travel cards or debit and credit cards and what are the charges to look out for?

If you're travelling to the Eurozone, the cost of your holiday may be eased by the weakened euro but where and how should you buy your currency?

Make sure you don't lose out to holiday fraud. Β£2.2million was conned from holidaymakers last year say The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau. What are the latest scams and how do you avoid them?

What can you do if something goes wrong on the journey or when you arrive, what are your travel and holiday rights?
