Sounds like a bit of a bargain

Couldn't believe my luck if I'm honest! Had all the confirmation come through. Really nice hotel too!

Looks great.

Thinking of booking a short break in Belfast early next year, the little one is desperate to go on a plane so might give Easyjet a go. Anyone ever been?

Just booked flights BHX-DUB for a long weekend in the Emerald Isle!

Looks like my flight to Bodrum and return are 757's. TOM266 and TOM757 (ironic right :reallyshocked: ) are my flight numbers! G-OOBH and G-OOBB have been operating the flight recently but could all change!

Any chance of a few pictures?

Hi Everyone

Been reading the forum for a while now but never posted before

Saturday 13th Sept Myself, my partner and 15month old son travelled from Birmingham to gran canaria on the 3pm Monarch Flight.
Must admit, not a fan of flying at that time on a Saturday. Was very crowded in the departure lounge, quite long queues for everything. We normally have a meal in the weatherspoons but as that was packed we ended up in the meridon bar. Very enjoyable meal in there and very quick too. Flight from Birmingham was very good and even better that I didn't suffer with my ears. Usually have problems where I cant pop my ears coming into land and then suffer with pain down my face.
On our return on Saturday Night/Sunday morning, our flight got in early and at the right time as passport control was very over crowded about 5 mins after we joined the queue.

PS keep up the good work everyone, very enjoyable forum to read :good:

Flying out Monday.. Just a curious question as I can't remember..
Does BHX offer free Wi-Fi? Like I know it did before, but it was with time limits. Is it still limited or unlimited?

 

[Ray Finkle]

We now offer free wi-fi throughout the terminal building.

That's all it says on the website. You could ask BHX on Twitter about the time limits, they're usually pretty good with the reply's on there.

I asked on Facebook, they replied saying they do!
Thank you, I'm sure I will! :drinks:

Thomson have told me G-BYAT is scheduled to operate my flight, what a treat!!

Have a great time, I would have got a picture but it's chucking it down :s_sad

I know! Was chucking it down! Was a really bumpy takeoff, even when off the ground, lots of turbulence as expected though. I recorded the takeoff, got a nice rawr off the engines! I'll upload the video when I get back, Internet isn't very good. However my friend from London had come up in the rain to photograph G-BYAT with me on it! I have the photos he sent me, but again, have to wait until I get back!
*update*
Quick 15 second video I uploaded onto Instagram, not the full takeoff though.

Has anybody ever been down to Southern Spain during late March/early April? If so what are the temperatures like that time of year, we're looking somewhere around the Malaga area? I'm just wondering whether it would be warm enough for the kids to be in the pool?

We're possibly going to go away for a week or so next Easter, the Canaries are an option but I'd prefer to keep the flight at short as possible so Malaga is the favourite at the moment but I've only ever been during the summer months.

Any opinions welcome :smile:
