We prefer airports to be small and uncrowded.

London City, Norwich and Exeter airports do well. Hang on, though: the one factor common to the top 10 airports in the Which? survey is that none of them features in the list of 10 busiest airports. London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted and Luton occupy the lower reaches of Which? readers’ opinions. But they also happen to be by far the most popular in terms of passenger numbers. Airports are gravitational. The more passengers they attract, the more airlines want to assign new routes and aircraft to them. And the number of travellers increases still further. In terms of appeal, large airports are on a par with prisons and hospitals: no-one wants to be there, and everyone wants to get out as soon as possible. But unlike prisons and hospitals, people just keep coming back: today will be the busiest day of the year for easyJet, with 500 flights at Gatwick alone carrying around 85,000 people. They are condemned to be free, as Sartre would say, and they freely choose to pass through Gatwick on the way to and from their dreams.

The International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) will almost treble from the current level of NZ$35 to NZ$100 – adding a shade over £30 to the cost of a trip. The government in Wellington takes the view that prospective visitors will hardly notice. A spokesperson for the tourism minister told me: “There is no concrete evidence to show that an increase in the cost for some international visitors would have a significant impact on demand. New Zealand will remain a beautiful and competitive destination to visit and IVL will help contribute to the high-quality experiences visitors expect while in New Zealand.” It comes down to elasticity: the effect of price rises on demand from visitors. A typical trip to New Zealand probably costs at least £3,000. The minister is betting that a one per cent increase in price will not deter any visitors. I am not so sure: travellers have a strong sense of cost and value. Someone who is wavering about a trip to the other side of the world might simply be deterred when they apply for the essential [NZeTA](~/AAAHagA~/RgRovSCZP4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluZGVwZW5kZW50LmNvLnVrL3RyYXZlbC9uZXdzLWFuZC1hZHZpY2UvbmV3LXplYWxhbmQtZS12aXNhLXRvdXJpc3RzLXBlcm1pdC1vbmxpbmUtcmlwLW9mZi1hOTA2NDg0MS5odG1sP2xpZD1uaGpmc2I4Yng1ODImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1TaW1vbiBDYWxkZXIncyBUcmF2ZWwgV2VlayBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDA2LTA5LTI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9UcmF2ZWxfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpmz5mb2mZJCD2GUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) permit – which includes the cost of the levy – before arranging their trip.

We need cycle tracks and/or quiet roads, with some scenery. We want to stay in one place, so we need a base with four or five route options.     Beziers in southwest France is the place to be: easy to reach by rail from London via Lille or Paris, or by air from across the UK. Stay in the old town, perched high above the Orb river. I paid about £100 at the (luxuriously converted) Hotel La Prison, adjacent to the cathedral with spectacular views over the Languedoc countryside. For cycling: most traffic is funnelled along the autoroutes, so the rest of the road network is quiet. Provision of some segregated bike paths is good, and motorists are respectful of cyclists. On day one, limber up beside the Canal du Midi as it heads west – the Fonsérannes locks, just west of the city, provide a spectacular introduction, and the towpath is mostly bike-friendly. Next, head east to the pretty and historic town of Pezenas – about 25km each way if you go direct, but better to find some quiet lanes and make a circuit of it. By day three, an 80km trip to the Mediterranean and Narbonne should work for you. The D6009 is the old Route Nationale, reclassified as a minor road, and leads straight to the centre of this ancient Roman city. Then aim for Gruissan – a fishing village with an amazing pink salt lagoon. With the sun on your backs in the afternoon, drift along the shore (with plenty of swimming options) as far as St-Pierre-la-Mer and make your way inland back to Beziers. For your penultimate day, aim northwest: the D612 twists into the hills, with attractions such as the Abbaye de Fontcaude not far off the road. Finally, combine the fine old towns of Agde and Sete. It’s a good 100km day, but you can always hop on the train back to Beziers.
