Egypt’s jailing of Briton need not deter visitors
Story: Jailing of British visitor to Egypt ‘could put others off visiting country’ No need to be put off visiting; just don’t take a load of prescription-only drugs that are not allowed. In fact, familiarise yourself with and respect the laws of any country you’re visiting and you’ll be fine.

Ian Derbyshire showed great ability even at 16
In memoriam: Ian Derbyshire I’ve just read your report on the sad loss of Ian Derbyshire. I took Ian on as a trainee from school aged 16 at Carlton Travel in Sale. He was a bright, affable lad with a great sales ability and sense of customer care. I taught him, among other things, long-haul selling, especially to the US and Australia. I knew he was ambitious and so it proved to be. I am so sad that he passed away so young. Ian, RIP.

CAA must first clarify Monarch costs fiasco
Story: Jet2 challenged to sign up to CAA’s complaints service The CAA yet again wants to involve itself in commercial issues that have nothing to do with it. The Monarch fiasco still needs to be bottomed out. The CAA, through its pressure, helped obtain monies for KPMG for Monarch’s slots; we have yet to see how much BA/IAG paid for these slots, or what’s going to happen to the monies collected for these assets in terms of paying towards the repatriation costs inflicted on the UK taxpayer and Air Travel Trust fund. Maybe the CAA would like to focus on this issue first.
PETER SANITY Travel Weekly would welcome a response from the CAA

WEEK

Shift in ads shows limitations of TV
Comment: Move away from TV advertising could be ‘seismic shift’ That’s a fair analysis by Steve Dunne (on
travelweekly.co.uk). Brands appear to have finally woken up to the fact that TV is useful if you want to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but nowadays marketers are under ever more pressure to demonstrate clear attribution for their spend. And because finance chiefs are a nervous bunch, marketing officers are forced to choose between creativity or media – and who the hell wants to be the Oak Furniture Land of travel? What this year’s strategic shifts demonstrate is that brands know they can be more targeted, more relevant and more personalised through digital. It may not give them the big reveal, but look how that has gone for a few this week (I’m looking at you, First Choice...). PHIL BLOOMFIELD, Travelzoo
