A round up of today's other stories in brief...
DIY guide to Lanzarote
Residents of the "island of fire" write and publish a quarterly tourist guide, Lanzarote Guidebook, which always contains the latest insider information. The guide covers upcoming events, resorts, cultural attractions, beaches, markets, restaurants and more. Online, visitors can book their own holidays, flights, hire cars and villas via island-based
companies - often at prices far more competitive than can be found in any high-street travel agency. The summer edition can be downloaded free of charge at www.lanzaroteguidebook.com.

Ryanair plans to compete on transatlantic routes by offering "beds and blow jobs" in first class.

The premium-priced cabins will cost €4,000 to €5,000 per seat while passengers packed into economy class fly for €10 one way, he said.
