Here’s my trip report from our recent trip to Sri Lanka, The Maldives and India.
Warning: Don’t expect Frogee style prose, this was mostly written as I went along and if I try to change it I’ll probably confuse myself.
Day 1
BA, bang on time. Still find it bizarre that BA have Indian based cabin crew giving the same service on much lower wages though.
Day 2
Indian immigration and customs was as expected, slightly slow and bureaucratic. Just simple transfers arranged through the hotel at £17 each way, more expensive but I wanted reliability and didn’t want to take any rupees out from the cashpoint. Booked dinner bed and breakfast because the plan was just to rest knowing it was going to be busy. CP very good value withe the buffet dinner being tasty, main hotel areas were good but the rooms are dated.
Day 3
Chennai to Colombo, A330 with SriLankan, booked economy because it was only a 75 minute flight and still came with 30Kg baggage allowance, pleasantly surprised to see priority checkin for OneWorld Ruby, thanks Qatar for the match and extensions. Make sure you have tickets and passports ready to enter the airport, digital copy on the phone was fine. Flight was about 30 mins late but comfortable enough, some odd behaviour as we departed, lots of locals standing up and passing multiple bottles of duty free and cash amongst themselves. I couldn’t fathom it, looked very suspicious. I had applied for visas online and also filled in customs declarations the same way, immigration was very efficient. SIM card with 20Gb of data, local calls and SMS was £3 but wait until you are through into the arrivals hall, the cards before you clear were more expensive, tethering was included. Tour arranged through Tangerine Tours, 10 nights including accommodation and a driver for $2150 with 7 of the nights being half board. We had booked the first night in the Hilton booked on points. The Hilton undergoing renovations, it was very noisy during the day but finished at 6pm sharp. Late lunch at the Dutch Hospital across the road was followed by drinks and nibbles in the lounge which I have to say were much better than I expected.
Day 4
Colombo to Dambulla, Amaya Lake hotel. Our driver-guide suggested changes to the itinerary, we were supposed to visit Sigiriya rock fortress that afternoon but he suggested going the next morning when it would be quieter and cooler, he was absolutely right. Stopped for some rice and curry at a roadside restaurant as recommended by the driver, cheap as chips and very tasty. He was slightly surprised that we wanted to sample basic Sri Lankan food as many of the Chinese and Indian tourists don’t. That afternoon we went on an elephant safari, about $50 each for a private jeep, it was a little commercialised but we saw a lot of wild Sri Lankan elephants in one of the national parks. I have to say that the Sri Lankans approach to conservation and sustainability would put several more developed countries to shame. Overnight was at Amaya Lake in Dambulla, plan was half board and I have to say the buffet was very good with a huge variety.
Day 5
Early start, a quick breakfast followed by an 0730 departure for the short drive to Sigiriya rock fortress. I’m a 55 year old overweight chap and the climb to the top was slow but manageable but boy was it worth it when we got to the top. Another option is to climb Pidurangala rock which is nearby and much cheaper, I think only a few hundred rupees as opposed to $30! However, the ancient paintings at the former are worth seeing at least once. Our driver was absolutely correct about switching things around, it was very quiet as headed up and packed as we heading back down. Another cheap lunch was followed by a trip to Polonnaruwa, a huge site with various temples, sandals are the order of the day here. Back to Amaya Lake for an early night after another buffet dinner.
Day 6
After breakfast we started our trip to Kandy. First stop was Dambulla cave complex, heavy legs from the day before laboured up the almost 400 steps to reach the temple. This is a series of caves with each one being a temple to Buddha, something I hadn’t realised before, even after many temple visits over the years is that it’s disrespectful to take a photo with your back to Buddha, we live and learn. The statues and ceiling paintings were stunning, well worth the climb. Anyway, back on the road with a stop for lunch, you’ve guessed it, cheap and cheerful curry and rice. We stopped at a spice farm on the way to Kandy, again very commercialised but we did learn a few new things. After the ‘compulsory purchase’, not by me you understand but Mrs S, we headed to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kandy, a lovely spot to spend a couple of hours wandering around. Overnight was at Amaya Hills in Kandy, another lovely hotel with great views over the city. Buffet dinner again but lots of variety and nice and hot.
Day 7
Before our train trip from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya we visited the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, it was fascinating to be inside a busy and active Buddhist temple. What was also interesting and more so than I realised was the museum showing Buddhism around the world which reference some places where I never knew Buddhism had penetrated such as Afghanistan, very sad to see the destruction of the sites both there and in Pakistan. Anyway, the train journey was interesting and meandering through the tea plantations and past waterfalls was spectacular. Unfortunately I’d made a bit of a boo boo and not booked the train I thought I had, which should have been from Nanu Oya to Ella, that will be for next time, the highlight for me was being able to leave my relative air conditioned luxury and lean out of the open train door and film the countryside, something that would never be permitted in the West, I felt precariously privileged! We checked in that evening to the Grand in Nuwariya Eliya (nicknamed little England). I had high hopes for this hotel, the public areas are beautifully presented, after checking out the various eateries we decided on the fixed ‘Barnes’ menu at about £30 for 3 course, expensive for SL but after a week of curry and rice the thought of a burger was appealing. This is where things started to go downhill, the waiter who reminded me of Manuel took our order which was written down as one list even though there were starters and mains. We tried to order two sides each as was stated on the menu, he said we were only allowed one, after much argument he permitted two. I had ordered a Caesar salad to start and a burger as my main. Very shortly after I ordered a burger appeared under the hot plate, the chef kept pointing to it and Manuel ignored him. Then a Caesar salad appeared under the hot plate, it stayed there for a short while before being moved to the side. About ten minutes later my wife’s starter appeared and these were served, the burger then ‘disappeared’ to a place where the chef though I couldn’t see it, on top of the oven which with an open kitchen was in plain sight. My wife’s main arrived and remarkably so did a ‘reheated’ burger. This burger was served American style, namely pink in the middle. The lettuce and tomato was wilted and the burger was cold in the middle. When I had the audacity to ask for a replacement the chef glared at me making me feel very uncomfortable, he then proceeded to have a heated argument with the waiter in front of us. Shortly after this, the executive chef appeared and we were both convinced he had ‘comped’ the meal so we headed off to the bar, I was allowed to beat the resident bandit in the adjacent billiard room which contained three full size tables. Manuel found us there 20 mins later with a full bill for three courses even though we had only had two. I told him we would sort it out the next day, we then retired only for a knock on our bedroom door half an hour later even though the do not disturb sign was on. The place was full-on Fawlty Towers. Overall, it was just an odd experience which soured our experience.
Day 8
The next morning at breakfast staff were falling all over us and at the pool later we continued to feel uncomfortable as staff hovered around us. In the end following a meeting with a duty manager we came to an agreement of one meal free which was fair as the food was good. After breakfast we visited a tea plantation which was more interesting that I expected, I never realised that black tea was fermented slightly. The picking is done entirely by women and by hand, their minimum quota is 20Kg a day but most pick between 30 and 40Kg, they are paid by how much they pick. Accommodation is provided for them onsite with a school and medical services also provided. That afternoon we visited Hakgala botanical gardens which our driver said wasn’t as good as the Royal in Kandy, I have to say he was wrong and the variety here is spectacular. That evening we ate in the food court just outside The Grand, it wasn’t anything like in the UK, a row of chefs were cooking various different styles of food, Indian, Sri Lankan, Arabic and Western amongst them. Alcohol was also available and the service was miles better than the Grand.
Day 9
A short stop in Ella today on the way to Yala National park. It’s definitely somewhere I wish we had spent more time during the tour and will be on the list next time. The drive through the Ella gap was stunning and on the way we stopped at a waterfall. The hotel in Yala was Cinnamon Wild, we had a small lodge and were here for one night, we wished we’d stayed longer. After checking in we went on another safari through the Yala National park. Once again we had a private jeep and our driver-guide came with us. This was much more interesting than the elephant safari, we saw elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, monkeys, mongoose and many different types of birds. Having been on safari in the Masi Mara this again felt slightly commercialised with around 20-30 jeeps but I’m told that when tourism is in full swing there could be 150 or more. We were out for 4 hours searching for the elusive leopard but saw nothing until we were just about to be dropped off outside the hotel. Our driver-guide spotted it in the rocks, we couldn’t see it, then the next minute we saw it crossing the road right in front of the jeep. Although this experience isn’t as good as Kenya, seeing animals in their natural environment is still a million times better than in a safari park or zoo. Seeing the leopard explains why we were advised not to walk to our lodge at night without a guide! The obligatory buffet dinner was followed by some star gazing on the roof of the main hotel building. We were then escorted back to our lodge with a detour to see the crocodiles on the edge of the hotel grounds.
Day 10
Yala to Bentota today with a stop in Galle to visit the Dutch Fort and at a turtle hatchery. The former was lovely, I decided to try to Lion Stout whilst sitting in a restaurant overlooking the ocean, I hadn’t realised that it was over 8% proof. Galle is somewhere I think we will visit again, maybe 2026 when the England cricket team tour, Mrs S is thrilled! The turtle hatchery was a little bizarre, you entered through a fibre glass turtles head then through a small aquarium to the hatchery. There were some long term residents, one had lost 3 of 4 flippers and wouldn’t survive at sea. I’m not sure what would be better for it in the long term, being kept in a small pool not a great deal bigger than it or letting it expire at sea? The main reason it wouldn’t survive is that it and some others had eaten plastic and couldn’t dive anymore. Once again a little more research may have found us somewhere different to visit, it was almost as if someone had asked what tourists wanted to see 20 years ago and had built it today? From there we headed to another Cinnamon hotel, this time Bey where we had probably the best buffet dinner of the trip.
Day 11 & 12
0430 pickup for whale watching with a very good packed breakfast being supplied by the hotel. Once again we had mixed feelings about the trip, there were about 6 boats chasing around to wherever someone had spotted a whale. On balance, for the chance of seeing a blue whale in the wild it was worth it. I dread to think what it would be like when tourism is in full swing? We spent 3 nights at this hotel which was basic but good, mostly Russian tourists with others nations starting to trickle back in.
Day 13
Off to the Maldives today so it was one last egg hopper for breakfast before heading to the airport and saying goodbye to Nandika our guide. Colombo airport was relatively efficient with a security check to get in and another to get to the check in counters before fairly quick immigration and on to the lounge. Lotus lounge by gate 6 was very quiet and reasonably well stocked. Economy flight to Male with SriLankan was decent, bang on time with orange juice and a samosa as the onboard snack. On arrival baggage arrived quickly and immigration was efficient, some had not filled in the Maldives health declarations and were sent away to do so. We were met by the SS Laamu representative who escorted us to the domestic check in, we arrived about 1430 and were booked on an 1830 direct flight, there was a 1630 flight but Kadhdhoo airport would be the second destination. We took the earlier flight, better to be on your way than waiting. Flight was in a Dash 8-300, about 50 seats with an onboard service of juice, nuts and a tiny chocolate bar. In the end I think we got to the hotel about an hour before we would have done had we caught the later flight. Transfer by boat from the airport to the resort was efficient, they even had WiFi on the boat. We were welcomed at the hotel by everyone from the general manager, the executive chef, head of housekeeping and our GEM (Guest Experience Manager). We’d been upgraded to an overwater ocean villa courtesy of my Diamond Ambassador and the room was delightful. A quick shower and change and we headed for a light supper before retiring. There was a complimentary bottle of Prosecco in the room which we enjoyed on the deck after dinner.
Day 14
A late breakfast, it finishes at 1030 but they didn’t rush to clear the buffet, was followed by a more extensive tour from our GEM. A short write up like this really can’t do justice to how sustainable they are trying to be. There’s not a hint of plastic anywhere, there’s an extensive herb garden and they have their own chickens to provide eggs. Weather today was quite wet so we just had a relaxing day sat on the deck of the overwater ocean villa reading. With free ice cream available all day, breakfast was more than enough to last until dinner time, over 40 different varieties of ice cream and sorbet all made locally. Drinks are very expensive, $12 plus 16% tax and 10% service charge for a small beer. So we took advantage of the ‘no rush hour’ for half price drinks, they can’t do 241 because of Maldivian law I think, but you buy one and they buy you one back. Our GEM had booked us the buffet for dinner but at $135++ each I didn’t think we’d do it justice, besides a management cocktail hour had provided canapés and numerous free drinks 😁. So it was one dish each at the Chill Bar restaurant and another early night.
Day 15
Much better weather today and another relaxing day, we took advantage of the Diamond Ambassador welcome amenity of a couples massage, list price was $185++ each! Afterwards it was another chance to take advantage of ‘no rush hour’ before relaxing for a few hours before dinner. There’s something really delightful about cycling everywhere and spending the entire time barefoot. Be warned though, it can get quite hot on the walkways so either take advantage of the water buckets to wet your feet or accept that you’ll need sandals for a short while. We had been booked for a buffet dinner again but cancelled and just went to Chill Bar again for dinner, don’t bother with desert because the free ice cream bar is open most of the day and the selection is superb.
Days 16 – 18
We continue to have a a fabulous time, the resort is every bit as good as the reviews, steak and eggs for breakfast one day, not on the menu the next day, no problem sir! There’s enough to do without spending a fortune, couples head massage class and a sustainability tour (this is a must do) being just two examples. I took the opportunity of doing a fair amount of snorkelling along the reef, it’s just spectacular, fins and masks are provided but I’d bring a rash guard, I just ended up using an old teeshirt. Even Mrs S did some snorkelling around the villa, there are steps into the water, she’s a good swimmer but very under confident because of poor eyesight, we’d brought a full face mask for her to use. As long as she can stand when she panics she’s fine but obviously couldn’t do this on the coral, we even had her using fins at the end of the stay. Dinner was taken in Leaf and Zen on two of the nights, once again there was a set menu for $135++ each but we just went a la carte, in Zen the waiter kindly marked us down for one set menu which was 6 dishes even though we’d ordered 4 each. Leaf was pork belly for me and locally caught fish for the boss, at Zen we had a selection of Japanese dishes including some very nice sushi and sashimi. The final evening we had our meal in Chill bar again, club sandwich for me and falafel for the boss, both very tasty, this was followed by one final trip to the ice cream parlour. We were asked to settle the night before, total F&B for 5 nights was $750 but we had been very careful. We were provided detailed transfer plans, including 0510 luggage collection, we could have had room service breakfast but we elected for fruit and pastries to go. There is a Nespresso machine in the room which took care of the other morning necessity, compostable pods unsurprisingly, we’d had fresh milk delivered every other day. From here it was a speedboat to the airport, there were strict guidelines about hand luggage weight but it wasn’t weighed in either direction. Very efficient, met in Male by the SS rep and escorted to check in, no lounge but we had pastries and topped this off with a $6 coffee. Apart from the schedule changes about 6 months ago, SriLankan have been decent in economy, most flight about 15 mins late but all bags arrived quickly. A330 from MLE to CMB was almost empty, I’m assuming they use the larger aircraft for freight.
Days 19-26
IC Debacle
It was during our time at Laamu that I started to realise thing at the IC Chennai was going to be problematic. I had emailed about a transfer and during that conversation I was informed that all facilities would be closed for a wedding and that it would be room service only. I finally made contact with the GM and ended up rebooking the Crowne Plaza for the first 3 nights.
The Bad:
It’s not the IC, whilst there’s a pool it’s somewhat lacklustre. I ended up having to cancel the IC myself and rebook 3 nights here and 4 at the IC, I expected the IC to do it for me. There’s no beach. It’s smoggy. It’s an ugly city! There’s not much to do! We are going to have to change hotels again! We went to the beach, it was a dump, we came back.
The Good:
I’ve got what I’ve paid for in terms of rooms etc. The head concierge from the IC met us at the airport in a BMW 7 series, nothing special at home but noticed here. He brought us to the CP where we were given a VIP welcome by the whole senior management team. Upgraded to the third biggest suite with club privileges included at On The Rocks. The F&B team are falling all over us, we were brought a plate of king prawns in addition to the club nibbles. F&B manager phoned me this morning to see if we wanted breakfast in bed or if we were coming down. We had a table set aside for breakfast where anything we wanted was brought to the table rather than having to go to the buffet. The dinner in Dakshin was every bit as good as the reviews. IC are going to pick us up on Tuesday, keep the bags while we visit Mahabalipuram, which we’d planned to do at least once anyway and collect us after all wedding guests have checked out. We’ve already been upgraded to an East Coast Sea View suite at the IC which looks good. The GM at the IC has been very responsive to direct communications and has promised to take very good care of us when we arrive.
So after 3 days at the CP we headed off to the IC. As promised we were taken directly to Mahabalipuram where the driver kept our bags in the car and we were met by a guide provided by the IC. The guide was superb and Mahab is lovely by Indian standards, maybe we just caught it right as there was a G20 educational conference being hosted the next day and the place was very clean. We had some enormous prawns for lunch at Moonrakers before heading for the hotel. Once again we were given the full VIP treatment with everyone from the GM down there to meet us. That evening we headed to the Gatsby lounge for Club Intercontinental Happy Hour, it’s described on the website when I booked as ‘The Gatsby Lounge bar, a space inspired by the roaring Twenties, offers live music with classic cocktails – sidecars, whisky sours – and beverages.’ Sufficed to say it was nothing like that, we were the only people there, there was no music live or otherwise, the sofas were stained and the place was completely lacklustre. It was then we were offered our Club Lounge experience every evening at the KoKoMmo Tiki shack and this was the saving grace for our 4 nights here. The staff at the shack couldn’t do enough for us, bringing multiple freshly cooked snacks including samosas, garlic prawns, South Indian style fish, lamb curry and regularly topping up our drinks with the 7pm finish being very flexible. We took breakfast each morning in the Melting Pot Cafe which was excellent with a good selection of Indian dishes. Mrs S elected for a massage, she described the Spa as Very Good and the prices were reasonable for an IC. But overall the hotel completely lacked that IC premium feel, it looked as though it has been the subject of underinvestment for the last few years possibly exacerbated by the pandemic. Examples are the stained furnishings as mentioned above, the white wash on all the walls need completely repainting, the exposed woodwork is in poor condition, the lily and fish pond is murky, the few sunbeds on the beach are wooden with no cushions, many of the lights in the dull staircases didn’t work, there is exposed wiring in the gardens, the pictures in the Melting Pot Cafe are wonky and to quote Mrs S, ‘The rooms looks like they have been cleaned by a man!’ When we checked out our bill was £50, we had received free transfers, the massage was made retrospectively complimentary, the evening club experience was more than enough to replace dinner and we had visited Mahab twice courtesy of the hotel. For 102k points and £50 we absolutely had value for money and the hotel worked really hard at service recovery, had we been spoiled in Sri Lanka and Laamu, almost certainly, would I stay again? Not unless I was specifically visiting Mahab or the hotel had gone through a complete refurbishment.
Day 27
A very rude awaking at 0330 for an 0400 transfer to the airport. Check in, immigration and security were good and the lounge was comfy albeit with not a great selection but that wasn’t an issue at that time in the morning. The flight home with BA was excellent with the exception of green eggs served without ham! The crew explained that herbs had turned the scrambled eggs green during cooking, they looked awful and a brief taste confirmed they didn’t taste any better (A quick complaint to BA when we got home resulted in 15k Avios.)
Overall, I would visit Sri Lanka and the SS again in a heartbeat. I would also happily use Chennai as a stopping point between those destinations, however, I think my cushion in future will be one night either side.
Brilliant report, thank you! Looking forward to when we can take such long holidays! 🙂
Egg hoppers ‘cured’ me of my need for British comfort food for breakfast. I can eat anything local anywhere in the world now and enjoy it. Hoppers also make instant friends with Sri Lankan chefs at Maldivian resorts. Bit like asking for Rivers rum at a bar in Grenada.
Thanks for the detailed review.
I will likely post some questions over the weekend.Again thank you for the detailed trip report.
Some questions in no particular order:I know you shared details of the Sri Lanka driver/guide elsewhere, but do you mind sharing it again here, as it will be easier for me to look up this particular thread in future (have favourited it). Also if you don’t mind sharing what he charged you?
Was there a reason you picked all IHG properties beyond the obvious “I had loads of points spare”? if you had similar HH status and points would you have considered them? I note there are Hilton alternatives including a DT resort right outside Yala NP.
Did you pick
MadrasChennai as your Sri Lanka gateway because you were already planning to visit the area anyway, or was that a happy conincidence?
I ask because the BA flight times look brutal, butBombayMumbai and Delhi appear to be better for getting a decent amount of sleep the night before/after Sri Lanka.I think you spent 8 nights in Sri Lanka. Was that enough, or do you think 10 – 14 nights would be better if wanting to take everything in at a relaxed pace?
Thanks.
No worries:
My driver was Nandika, available on WhatsApp +94 71 386 1590 it’s difficult to say what he charged because I booked through a third party. Total cost though was £1800 for 10 nights with hotels included. I’d happily book him direct in future.
I have Diamond Ambassador at IHG and Diamond with Hilton. We stayed in the Hilton Colombo the first night, location was good and the exec lounge was much better than I expected. The main reasons for IHG were a glut of points and $500 in F&B credits which I had hoped to use. I think there is a Hilton hotel opening in Yala but I’m not sure it’s open yet?
Chennai was a combination of BA 241 availability and the presence of an IC, you are right though, the return flight timings are brutal. I certainly won’t be returning unless we are specifically visiting Sri Lanka again, if we do that it will be a one night cushions either side.
We did 10 nights in SL and would happily have done much more. In fact we wish we’d gone back to SL after the Maldives.
The Sri Lanka part sounds exciting but exhausting 🙂
@Aston100 in your questions re
CeylonSri Lanka, you appear to have missed that big one!The Sri Lanka part sounds exciting but exhausting 🙂
Yes, a very busy trip, hence the supposed week on the beach at the end!
Great trip report @strickers. Sorry I missed it when you posted – I was only alerted to it as someone mentioned your trip report in the Shanghai flights thread.
As I mentioned elsewhere we’re doing a similar trip (not staying at the the SS unfortunately). Based on your problems we have reduced our stay at the IC Mahalibalipuram to 2 nights and will then stay the other 2 at the Leela Palace.
We are also flying in Club on BA and onward in economy to Sri Lanka and then to Male.
We have a 5 and a half week trip with the first 9 days in India – first one at the Hilton Chennai to retain our Diamond status. As well as Chennai and Mahalibalipuram we are spending 4 night in Pondicherry
We have two and a half weeks in Sri Lanka staying in Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala National park (on @Strickers advice), Tangalle, Galle Fort and the last 3 nights at the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo. This is more or less the route we took in 1980 but back then we were backpacking!
We have booked all our own hotels and are using Nandika who has quoted us $560 for 7 days – this was slightly more than other well reviewed drivers but as he came recommended we are going with him.
We are staying at a small island without over water villas in the Maldives – Makunudu which is very reasonably priced compared to so many in the Maldives.
Sounds like an epic trip qc, hope Nandika lives up to expectations. Have a great time.
Are people genuinely asking for USD currency in Sri Lanka?
How did you pay for things Strickers?So far so good – his communication has been very good. We are doing the train trip Nanu Oya to Ella – Nandika is booking the tickets for us.
@Aston100 we will be paying the driver in LRK – we will withdraw the money in cash.
@Aston100 Because of the fluctuations in exchange rates things are quoted in USD, you can pay in LKR but at the current exchange rate.
Thanks guys.
I feel we should each add a little bit of graffiti in a common place: “HfP woz ere ’23”
Fascinating write up @strickers. I’d heard there was a big issue with monkey poo in Sri Lanka. Did you have any problems with that?
Fascinating write up @strickers. I’d heard there was a big issue with monkey poo in Sri Lanka. Did you have any problems with that?
How on earth did I manage to forget to include monkeypoogate in the write up? Top tip, sandals, great for visiting temples, less useful when dealing with primate poo.
Hi Strickers, can you tell me how you organised your return from CMB to MAA into LHR?
The BA flight leaves Chennai at 05:30.
Sounds like one would need to arrive into MAA the day before and presumably just stay up all night somewhere?
Else you’d have to get up at maybe two in the morning? if so, I wouldn’t be able to get to sleep!
What did you do?We had a week in Chennai after SL, got up at 0330, 0400 transport, airport at 0500 but our return was 0750 from Chennai. But yes, I wouldn’t risk flying in the evening before, have a look at the SriLankan schedule and make sure you aren’t on the last flight.
airport at 0500 but our return was 0750 from Chennai
Sorry, I don’t understand this.
Isn’t the BA flight at 05:31?The schedule must have changed, ours was at 0746.
The schedule must have changed, ours was at 0746.
Oh right. I’ve just checked some winter flights and they are at 07:50 as you say.
The summer flights are at 05:31. I have no idea how people handle such an early departure. It feels too early to get sleep beforehand; too late to stay up all night.
That is brutal.
Our return is 05.31 in early April – yes it’s brutal! I’m not sure if it’s even worth going to bed the night before! How long before the flight do you recommend being at the airport? We’re in Club – is there a dedicated check in desk and fast track?
