Well done Michael, great report! I really like East Coast's First Class - I believe some carriages have been refurbished in leather now. Eastern is the largest operator in Aberdeen where I'm based and I have travelled with them quite a lot - always great crew and comfortable planes (well the SAAB200...
Jump to postGreat minds! That would be the ideal trip. Fares are not too bad to be honest.
Jump to postGreat report! I too have wanted to do this and also the LAN Dreamliner to Frankfurt/Madrid.
Round trip jolly Armodeen!
This is great! It reminds me of a few months ago when I was on the final Virgin Little Red flight from <acronym title="London - Heathrow (LHR / EGLL), United Kingdom">LHR</acronym> to <acronym title="Aberdeen - Dyce (ABZ / EGPD), United Kingdom">ABZ</acronym> and I was also the last passenger off. I...
Jump to postI love these two reports, love your style! Morrre! lol
Jump to postI'm also a 62A fan on the Upper Deck of a 747. I love flying backwards. It felt really strange taking off the first time - almost like we were over-rotating. I've just chosen a backward-facing seat on my next <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym> 772 <acronym title="London - Heathrow...
Jump to postFantastic video! Well done and thanks for sharing!
I'm jealous, I ALMOST booked a return from Heathrow on the A350 but glad I didn't since the training flight routes were changed!
Well done on the compensation too - jealous again!
I hate that too!!! I stare them out, but then they like the attention I suppose! Ggggrrrrr
Jump to postGreat video and thumbs up from me too!
Anything I would change? Personally I prefer more interior shots, but that's just me - I watched it all so you're doing something right.
I flew it <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym>/<acronym title="Paris - Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) (CDG / LFPG), France">CDG</acronym> a year ago. I liked it. The Upper Deck cabin was nice - I had a window seat so had the cupboard under the window ...
Jump to postGreat report! Thank you. I almost booked this too, but have run out of holidays. I was on the final Virgin Little Red flight <acronym title="London - Heathrow (LHR / EGLL), United Kingdom">LHR</acronym>/<acronym title="Aberdeen - Dyce (ABZ / EGPD), United Kingdom">ABZ</acronym> on Saturday.

Jump to postThanks for the report! Not too long, enough detail for me and an enjoyable read. I love Orlando, still a kid at heart, love Miami Beach as well - you've got me in the mood to head back, I was only there in January. I've just done a couple of TATL on AA77W J class - far superior to <acronym title="Br...
Jump to postGreat report! Thanks for sharing. Nice size and easy to read - with some humour too. Well done. (sound like a teacher marking an essay don't I?)
Jump to postFinal day onboard today for me and it really is the most beautiful ship. Great decor, furnishings etc, Royal Caribbean have yet again pushed things up a notch on here. Very impressed indeed. I have no clear favourite between this one and Oasis Of The Seas, both equally stunning in their own ways. If...
Jump to postWow! Stunning, plus it has set my excitement levels at ME<acronym title="Garuda Indonesia">GA</acronym> now since I sail on her this Thursday for a 3 night taster! My favourite ship up to now is actually Oasis - as big as she is and even with the amount of people on board, she is stunning in every w...
Jump to postMax, you almost made me cry, this is such a great trip report! Possibly the best I have read, just great that someone so young can write a report like that - you have many more years of exciting travel ahead of you! Glad you got your window seats sorted out - looks like that group I saw on Expert Fl...
Jump to postWhich flight are you looking at? BA272 on March 27, or BA273 on April 5? That's 27th March, but interestingly I've just checked BA273 on 05th April and there is a group of 11 blocked off in 33 and 34 again. This must be you guys. That flight is not as busy looking at the loads - the window seat is 3...
Jump to postI was recently blown away by the United Club in Heathrow Terminal 2. Beautiful lounge, great bar and barmen who made cocktails with finesse, champagne flowed and the food was very good - the chef was hanging around asking what I thought of the food etc. Couldn't fault it. Worst was a horrendous excu...
Jump to postLooking at Expert Flyer the flight is completely full - probably overbooked actually. There are a lot of seats already reserved - most of the front economy cabin - but still a lot left to choose in the rear cabin. It's impossible to say if this is blocked for your group, but there is a group of 11 r...
Jump to postI can check Expert Flyer if you want me to? They show actual seats available for most airlines
Jump to postI used to sail with P&O every year going back to 1985 on the Canberra, but got fed up of sailing from Southampton due to the weather and usually 2 or 3 days at sea before you got to the Med - coming home was worse with weather cooling. I'm now a Royal Caribbean/Celebrity convert and always fly t...
Jump to postI'd do the geeky thing as well - tell your friends you'll see them there!
I need to see if I can get on a 787 this year as well.
Mind you, doesn't 787 Y get bad press on this and other aviation boards?
Still, I would give it a go.
Looks great! I'm on one of those from <acronym title="Dublin (- Collinstown) (DUB / EIDW), Ireland">DUB</acronym> to <acronym title="New York - John F. Kennedy International (Idlewild) (JFK / KJFK), USA - New York">JFK</acronym> in July and really looking forward to it because it was the old cabins ...
Jump to postDefinitely No.1, but the views are bad. I often get something to eat and drink and head to the end of the new pier where the <acronym title="Aer Lingus (Ireland)">EI</acronym> flights depart and plane-spot from there - perfect, close views of the runway and there is rarely anyone in the area. I thin...
Jump to postI THINK this may be the craziest trip I've read about! I read a lot about people doing <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> Tier Point runs to Hawaii which is crazy enough, but this one? Wow, respect to you! Great you had company. I asked a friend of mine to come to Honolulu with me later t...
Jump to postGreat report, my favourite meal too and with the champagne it is heaven! I've done loads of travelling this year so far and am happy to have a break for about a month, but reading your report has made me want to head off somewhere again. I still need to do a Jersey trip from Aberdeen - I got one of ...
Jump to postI don't know if I'm a bigger plane geek or cruise ship geek so this report is perfect for me! Thank you, love your style of writing, you always sound excited, which I do when I'm travelling. If anyone thinks they can't get good deals on cruising then listen to my bit of good fortune that happened to...

Jump to postI'm really disappointed that Little Red is stopping, but I am as much to blame as anyone since I've only used it once. I did enjoy it though - I think the crew make it. They are far more reliable as well, when there are any problems at <acronym title="London - Heathrow (LHR / EGLL), United Kingdom">...
Jump to postIf anyone remembers the US tv series "The Love Boat", in the 11th photo down you will see the original Princess ship which was used in that series. It looked large and impressive in the series from what I remember from the 80s - not as impressive now compared to some of the monsters of the seas ther...
Jump to postI've flown Qantas quite a bit and have only good things to say about them. Every crew member I have encountered has been very very friendly and delivered top notch service. Great report - I'm too lazy to write up reports so enjoy them when others take the time and effort to complete them. Keep it up!
Jump to postGreat report! Love your enthusiasm! Lucky you to be upgraded!

Jump to postGood to hear a good report on a 787 economy cabin!
Most people say the aircraft is over-rated and cramped.
Great!
That has made my mind up about my next city break!
I stopped there on a cruise once and for whatever reason didn't get off the ship that day.
Looks great, thank you
WOW! I'm exhausted reading about all those flights you took!
Thanks for taking the time to report them though, I'm too lazy!
Great report! To my shame I haven't sampled Little Red yet - still gathering up <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> TPs - but have my first trip planned for July. Looks like it was a bit busier than I was led to believe their loads were. I hope it works, I hate to see <acronym title="Briti...

I did a wee jaunt to Malta last weekend - kinda TP run and break, but too lazy to do TR's!

Jump to postThank you for this, you have just inspired me to book a one-way Orlando to Fort Lauderdale for next week! I was going to drive to the cruise ship, but this sounds like more fun! $30 is the base fare also!
Jump to postGreat report! Thanks for doing it. Why not do trips like this? Looked like a magical experience you'll never forget.
Jump to postGreat report thank you. You'll see this is my first post on here, I often browse but thought it about time to get involved.
