You’re at the gate.
Boarding pass in hand.
And then you hear it: “We have more passengers than seats.”
Or you walk into the hotel you booked months ago and they tell you, very politely, that there’s no room.
Or the ferry’s cancelled and nobody at the desk seems to know what you’re actually owed.
I’ve spent three decades in and around the travel industry, and I’ve watched the same thing happen over and over again. People lose money in these moments for one reason: nobody ever told them the rules. The airline knows them. The hotel knows them. You’re the only one in the conversation who doesn’t — and they’re counting on exactly that.
So, last year I wrote it all down in a guide.
The Book I Wish Every Traveller Had
It’s called the Flight Compensation Guide: How to Turn Travel Chaos Into a Win — though it covers a good deal more than flights. It’s a plain-language playbook for when travel goes wrong, on both sides of the Atlantic:
- Flight overbooking and denied boarding — what you’re owed under US DOT rules and Europe’s EC 261 (up to €600), and how to negotiate a bump in your favour
- Flight and ferry cancellations — when you’re entitled to cash, a refund, meals and a hotel, and the “extraordinary circumstances” line airlines hide behind
- Hotel overbooking — what to demand when they “walk” you
- Cruise and boat disruptions — what your contract and EU law actually cover
- A one-page action plan for the moment it all kicks off: exactly what to do, step by step
No jargon or filler. Just the knowledge that turns you from a victim of circumstance into the most informed person standing at that desk.
It’s live on Amazon now — Kindle for €2.99, or paperback if you like to keep it in the glovebox or the carry-on. Same page, your choice of format:

Here’s my honest ask. If you travel — or you know someone who does — grab a copy. It costs less than the coffee you’ll buy at the gate. And if it helps you, or you can already see how it would, leave an honest review on the listing. A new book lives or dies on its first reviews, and yours genuinely moves the needle.
And if it doesn’t help you, tell me that too. I’d rather know.
That’s it. No countdown timers, no fake urgency. Just a book I believe in, written for the traveller who’s tired of being the one who didn’t know.
