Ask Me Anything: Simon Calder to answer your travel questions as summer holidays draw to a close

As a summer blighted by travel issues draws to a close, it’s time to look ahead to autumn holiday plans.

Off- and shoulder-season is a great time to get exploring – whether abroad or closer to home – with numerous destinations still warm into late September, the changing leaves painting a colourful backdrop for a trip, and lower prices and quieter attractions all offering added incentive.

But with Heathrow extending its flight cap till October and British Airways preemptively cancelling enough flights to take two million seats off the market, will autumn and winter travel be any less chaotic than it was this summer?
