We’ve just come back from a week in Tenerife and the main reason that Maria wanted us to fly – winter sun!  It was wonderful to be able to sunbathe after 4.5 hours .  We flew BA and were delayed a little both there and back, both of us were a bit uncomfortable on the…

I have a gripe about BA! As a bronze member (ahem, so much flying this year) I can book my seat choice free a week before I fly. Twice recently when I have then checked in 24 hours beforehand I have been moved. As a nervous flyer it’s really important to me that I know…

Porto is a great place for a two or three night stay. It’s easy too get about and the people were very welcoming and friendly to us. The flights were all good (Easyjet) and we used a meet and greet service to get us to and from Gatwick north terminal as it was an early…

Four hours to Rhodes – well they always seem to be slightly shorter?  The captain came out at the end to greet everyone – nice touch. Great smooth flight there and back and all seemed very manageable.  I downloaded some BBC programmes as well as taking the usual Diazepan and gin (just the one) and…

After a two month gap from flying we are off again on Monday to Rhodes (4 hours) flying BA economy and in aisle 16 instead of up front like we have been in BA, Easyjet and Ryan Air so feeling a bit nervous but trusting in the plan as it’s worked before and no reason…

We went to France in June and at the moment I’m having two months not flying as the school holidays make the flights very expensive.  I flew from Gatwick to Montpelier with easy jet and that part went very well.  We came down steps outside for the first time for me rather than through a…

With a sad heart this was the last of the BA business class flights for the foreseeable future.  We’ve become something of experts on the business class lounges and top of the charts is Warsaw!  Great range of fresh food.  Bottom of the list is Turin I’m afraid.  Great city though.  The lounge lost points…

I’ve fallen behind a bit with the blog – thats what monthly travel does so this is a late Warsaw post.  The flights went well, a little turbulence going out that was brief but (I thought) dramatic.  The problem I have is that I do get motion sickness and this isn’t a phobia thing but…
