Have a signature Louvre cocktail at Vanderpump a Paris.

Buses to King’s Road/ Sloane St are rarely busy on a Tuesday night.

[Richie]

Look at Elounda on Crete.

I’d pick a BA flight from LHR on monday as my back-up. Vueling simply aren’t a good enough plan b.

[Richie]

The ‘core’ LCY and LHR flights seem to be on sale, could be good for those who have pre may bank holiday trip ideas.

[Richie]

The outbound flights have to be 31st October or before. If you can avoid the half term school holiday peak dates, the package price should be cheaper. I’d prioritise the A380 operated flights, if possible. Remember, passengers forget their driving licences and also forget to print hotel vouchers, useful if you don’t want a car or to stay at that cheap hotel.

BA Gatwick doesn’t seem to follow the “standard” T-355 approach but loads all at once. Worth setting up a seatspy alert perhaps

It did before March 20 and before the creation of BA Gatwick EuroFlyer.

For LHR flights, some of these summer holiday flights are slot sitters until new long haul planes arrive, so summer 23 flights may not be the same as summer 22 flights.

I found the change at Paddington very straightforward going to Heathrow, will definitely use again.

[Richie]

There are Vueling flights from Gatwick, sometimes redemptions appear through Iberia Plus or Vueling club.

[Richie]

Fly west if you like being wide awake in the morning, fly east if you don’t. If you fly east your routing could be Vietnam, Aus, NZ, pacific islands, Japan, Hawaii, So Cal. Spring in So Cal can be very pleasant.

[Richie]

Decided on The Delaunay at the Aldwych, mainly for location and my guests haven’t been there before.

[Richie]

There’s probably L’amica geniale TV series location tours available for Florence.

[Richie]

It really depends on how time rich you are and where in Australia you want to get to.

[Richie]

I like Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Trier, Vienna for Christmas markets.

[Richie]

It appears CEDR are ignoring the orginal ec reg 261:2004 recitals 1,2 and 12.

[Richie]

BACF at LCY is offering its full range of summer destinations in July, including a Friday evening flight to Palma and additional flights from Malaga, Ibiza and Palma on Sunday evening.

[Richie]

Have a look on a local facebook community/group.

[Richie]

At least Vueling tried. BA diverted to BLQ and left us at FLR and returned to LCY empty.

[Richie]

I’m a frequent visitor to Florence. Windy weather at FLR is nothing new. Vueling know this and should’ve been able to operate your flight from BLQ without crew going out of hours.

[Richie]

6.30am start time will still need hotels for early morning Heathrow flights.

eVisa even if waiting for another plane in the airport? 11hrs

Can you find ‘excluding transit passengers’?

BTW there’s a newish Blacklock in Covent Garden for the westerners who won’t go further east than the ROH.

Early June seems to be more than 14 days from now.

The flights go on sale 1st June for PE.
