North vs. South: Settling the ultimate staycation debate4 sept28 min

Following a major cybersecurity breach at Manchester Airport, Greg and Simon discuss whether it’s ever truly safe to log on to airport Wi-Fi - and the essential steps you must take to avoid “juice jacking” while charging your devices on the go.

And is September still the bargain travel time we all hope it is, or are prices finally catching up to the peak summer rush? We break down the latest data to see if your autumn escape is still a steal.

In the second half of the show, we settle the great English debate: where exactly is the North-South divide? We’re joined by the Telegraph’s Rosa Silverman to fight it out - from coastal gems like Whitby vs. Whitstable to the best city breaks in the country - to decide which half of the UK should host your next trip.

As ever, the team tackles your travel questions – this week, a reader's search for the perfect solo getaway in November.
