Costa Rica – June 2017
by nikki

My second long haul adventure this year was to Costa Rica in June. BA now have a direct flight from Gatwick to San Jose which makes the journey very easy. The first thing that struck me was just how friendly Costa Ricans are, genuinely happy and laid back. Spanish is the national language but English is widely understood. Our adventure started with an overnight in San Jose, followed by an early start and road trip to the banks of the Pacquare river. From here we white w...

South Africa – April 2017
by nikki

This year I made by first trip to Africa and what an amazing trip. Direct flights to Cape Town with BA overnight and with just an hours time difference means you arrive jetlag free. Cape Town is an amazing city with a great buzz. The waterfront area is packed with great restaurants, bars and craft stalls. We took a helicopter flight which offered wonderful views of Table Mountain, Lion Head, Camps Bay, Robben Island and the Football stadium built for the World Cup in 20...

Las Vegas

We flew Norwegian Airlines on the new Dreamliner direct service from Gatwick South Terminal. Crew were lovely and legroom reasonable for a low cost carrier. They have a very high tech system for ordering your earphones, blankets and drinks/snacks via your onboard tv. You simply set up a tab using a card then order as you please, they do switch the bar ‘off’ when they are serving meals but otherwise this service works very well. As you can see the strip when you land, a...

SORRENTO & ISCHIA – MAY 2016
by nikki

For my trip to Italy we left Luton, my first pleasant surprise of the trip was just how quick it was to get to from Swindon, just an hour and a half! This was my first experience of Easyjet’s self-service check in, all very easy and efficient. Sorrento was fantastic, great atmosphere, just lovely to wander around and take it all in, of course stopping for the traditional gelato (Italian ice cream), we found ourselves in Gelataria Primavera where they have lots of photos ...

Incredible India

Day 1 We met at Terminal 3- Virgin Check in Desk, first treat of the trip was a visit to the Upper Class Wing, such an eye opener to see how the other half live.

It is then a quick wizz through a fast track security and made our way to the Club Lounge. Fantastic facilities including an amazing deli as well as a bra...

A short transfer on very good roads with British road signs and we arrived at Sandals Royal...

Mauritius with Heritage & Veranda Hotels
by nikki

I had the pleasure in returning to Mauritius in November, this time courtesy of British Airways and Heritage & Veranda Hotels. The flight was outstanding, I was upgraded to Club World with a flat bed, a first for me! So comfortable, a little strange facing backwards but I soon got over that. The service on board was excellent and the food was great, being offered a basket with a bread roll is not something I have experienced on a plane before. On demand entertainme...
