Travelers at Gatwick Airport can weigh their luggage for free at unattended check-in desks. Often, the conveyor belts and scales remain powered on even when no staff are present.

Ajet Airlines' hand luggage dimensions are typically 55x40x23 cm. While exceeding the depth by a couple of centimeters (e.g., 25 cm) might be tolerated if the bag fits into the sizer, it's not guaranteed. The airline is generally not overly strict, but compliance with the sizer is key. Be aware of potential airport transfer specifics related to Turkish airlines operating from Moscow.

When flying with Ajet, the 'personal item' weight limit (around 4 kg) can sometimes be enforced. A neck pillow is generally not counted as part of the hand luggage. Maximize your backpack's capacity and wear extra items like a neck pillow to potentially avoid issues. Weight checks appear to be random, and some passengers have experienced no checks even with significantly overweight bags.

Fuel prices in the UK can range approximately from £1.57 to £1.67 per liter for 95 octane petrol, varying by brand. It is advisable to avoid driving with a nearly empty fuel tank, especially in national parks like Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, where petrol stations are infrequent and prices may be higher.

Cars rented in Scotland are typically fueled with standard petrol or diesel from fuel stations. Hybrid cars predominantly run on petrol and occasionally diesel. Users should confirm the fuel type with the rental company if unsure. The type of car originally booked (e.g., Ford Focus automatic) may differ from the one provided (e.g., Vauxhall Frontera), which is common practice in car rentals.

UK infrastructure, including trains, is sensitive to heat waves, leading to cancellations ('safety inspections' due to track expansion). Advise travelers not to plan critical transfers or airport departures for their final day. Public transport refunds are possible for significant delays; suggest checking delay-repay policies if travel plans are disrupted.

Passengers can claim compensation for train delays in the UK caused by weather. Submitting a claim on the railway company's website is a straightforward process. For example, a delay resulted in a £25 refund.

The London Underground is described as complex with many branching lines, requiring constant attention to the map for navigation. In contrast, Moscow's metro is praised for its efficiency, coolness, and spaciousness, making it feel superior and easier to use.
