TTG Getaway
Got a titbit or two about the travel trade? Then tell TTGina… although she probably knows it already

I’m a firm believer in looking your best for the office, but even I was surprised to hear the logistical lengths to which a certain marketing executive from a cruise line goes to to keep her hair looking royally ship-shape. Three days a week, she takes a more relaxing train journey to work, while on hair- washing mornings, when she needs the extra time to get her tresses red carpet- ready, she drives. The exception is hangover days, on which she said the hairwashing regime is abandoned – well champers can do that to a girl!
I’ve waltzed through some pretty fab hotels in my time at TTG, but The May Fair Hotel in our fair capital wins the prize for the UK’s (and possibly the world’s) most lavish loo. The TOTO Neorest Washlet, which is worth £10,000, is described as the most advanced lavatory around. Its design
includes a heated seat, integrated bidet with “directional warm jets of water, temperature and water massage function”, as well as an automatic deodorizer. Ooh I’m flush with jealousy – I’m hoping there might be some in the pipeline at TTG Towers…
There’s always someone jetting around the world from TTG, and last week it was the turn of our super sub-editor Ben Sneath, who went on his first trip to Africa on KLM’s inaugural to Lusaka in Zambia. He was excited to see some of the wildlife, for which the continent is famous, but despite flying nine hours to the heart of Africa and spending three days in the country, including a stay on a houseboat on Lake Kariba – all he sighted was a pair of hippo ears. He should have gone to London Zoo – and Specsavers…

WHERE IN THE WORLD
This country lies on the western side of its continent and is 4,200km long but only 90km wide at its narrowest point. The Spanish started colonising the country in the 16th century, and in 1818 it gained independence. The country contains the Atacama Desert and it also controls Easter Island.
In the 20th century it was rocked by political instability and endured 17 years under Augusto Pinochet. However, it is now one of the region’s most stable states and according to S&P, it has the highest sovereign credit rating of any country in the region.
