I always try to book over-wing extra leg-room seats. The airline has to clear the emergency exit for safety reasons, so hand baggage must go in the overhead lockers, to avoid this kind of rip-off. I had a similar situation to/from Edinburgh a few years ago with FlyMayBe. The size was perfectly...

Thanks Nethercote, Off to AMS on Wednesday with EZY - when I checked in, they quoted bag-drop open 2 hours before departure.

There was still building work going on when we went through (19th June). The processing was a lot quicker, just access to security needed expanding. Going back through in September so it will be interesting to see how things are then. Social media seems to report a big improvement in the...

Travelled through on 19th June and returned yesterday. The scanners work faster than the old scanners, but the idiot idea of replacing escalators with lifts is pathetic. My friend travelled through the other morning and apparently was asked to use the escalator by Jet2 bag drop :banghead:. The...

You should try Emirates economy check-in @ BNE. Business & First flew through with ample desks, cattle only had 3 desks for an A380 flight up to Dubai, Jan just gone!

Problem is Karl, it's a military airport. We were due to fly out from Manchester on an a/c doing a W rotation - the a/c went tech @ LGW first thing in the morning so we had a long delay. It eventually arrived and went tech again @ MAN. When the part and AWC arrived, the crew had exceeded their...

Many happy memories of a holiday in Stoupa where we flew to/from Kalamata. Lovely place.

Me too! I flew to AMS on a Sunday afternoon (albeit departing at a similar time to Saudia, Qatar? and Emirates) earlier this year and was amazed at the queues then - this was in the old security zone. The promise all over the walls was that "We are rebuilding for the future" - basically, please...

The tweet is timed & dated @ 4:10 this morning. Must be the build up of all of the "go lefts" from beforehand!

We're off next Wednesday, 3:30 arrival @ BHX for a 6:25 departure. Hopefully have time to get a breakfast. :yawn:

That speaks volumes about the management @ BHX. Other airports around the world were building sites whilst scanning was upgraded, yet there were few press reports of such disorganised chaos. I have flown a number of times from BHX whilst the build has been going on and I have never seen such a...

Same old, same old. Kicking the can down the road!

Maybe, they're going to move the tin shed being erected for EuroHub pax!

I think it's called concrete underpants!! ;-)

It should be already Ray. Any snagging should have been sorted before the official opening!! I await tomorrow's pathetic excuse.

Can't agree with this TM. Even prior to T2 being built, the infrastructure @ MAN was better e.g. arrivals on ground, departures (including drop-off, check-in, security & departure lounge) on first floor. Think of the additional space this created for both arrivals & departures. T2 was designed &...

Whether the airport lives up to the PR agency's script remains to be seen. I remain cynical - I note an additional 6 weeks has now been added on to the timescale despite media releases to The Times etc. Strange this new completion date coincides with the start of the school holidays - maybe...

Hi Rollo, We will be off on the following Wednesday. Taxi is booked to get up to the airport for 03:30, which fits in with our scheduled departure @ 06:25. Just hope it's not peeing down that morning!! :)

I flew from Schiphol at evening rush hour recently. It took 15 minutes to go from bag-drop at the busy KLM desks to the restaurants above duty free. A friend flew to Frankfurt this morning. This is the carnage. It took 1hour 20 minutes from outside to duty free - longer than his flight!

No TM, the confusion is all down to me. BrumX's Pride photos show floats driving down New Street? decorated In Jet2 & Easyjet regalia. Tompo made an observation on the attractiveness of the new EasyJet uniforms :) . I still had Jet2 in my mind and made a comment about Jess Glynne (Hold My Hand...
