Thanks so much for the insight Andrea.

I've been on a handful of press trips - two or three while still working as a reporter on an evening paper, as far as I can remember - the best was to a glamorous city on a maiden flight from a UK airport.

I was never invited back as I did a "knocking story" about the fact that "too few" people were using the airline.

How much do you think the fact that the trip is at the expense of a PR company influences what's written, and what do they expect?

As I understand it, Simon Calder from the Independent pays his own way.

How realistic is it to expect other journalists to do the same, do you think?

Thank you. I am glad someone finally wrote about how it all worked. It was starting to feel like a secret no one would tell me.
