Missed flight connections, Wine ingredients, Narcolepsy drugs

Airlines are accused of booking customers onto connecting flights which are regularly delayed, plus why eggs and milk may appear in the ingredients of a bottle of wine.

Airlines are being accused of deliberately selling flights with connections that customers are likely to miss. One company which acts on behalf of delayed air passengers says it has seen a rise in the number of complaints about exactly that. EUClaim has told You & Yours the same flights are regularly responsible for missed connections, and has come up with a "Top 10" of problem flights.

A really effective drug for treating narcolepsy, the condition where people fall asleep involuntarily, has been ruled as too expensive for the NHS. Only the most severe cases qualify, aside from a group of 80 people who developed the condition after taking the vaccine for swine flu. Others with the condition, who do not qualify, say that is unfair. Winifred Robinson hears from a woman whose daughter has the condition.

Plus, the You & Yours team has been studying the ingredients in a bottle of wine. We had heard about sulphites, but eggs and milk? We ask a regular vineyard visitor to explain.
