evilduck Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Got through Vueling bag drop and security at Gatwick, now having a quick pint before going to our gate. Very excited to land and have a beer in the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the biggest queue of the day to get a pint 😏 Presuming youre travelling from Brum. I was the bald guy at the front of the queue. I skipped Wetherspoons, and went for the one next door. A little more prices (San Miguel £6.99), but saves dying in a queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubic Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Gatwick Vueling check-in / bag drop not too bad at the mo. Busy, but nothing out of the ordinary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Anybody flying with Ryanair from Manchester airport and know what security / bag drop is like? About to leave shortly, giving ourselves 2.5 hours to get through.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying, but small silver lining that I don’t need to turn up to the site quite as early, I suppose… (although that said, I probably still will).

TheFullShaboo Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Just joined the security queue at Manchester T3, never seen the queue this big. Temporary barriers in place all way to bag drop. Don’t want to worry people, but just a heads up for those heading here later. Think we’ll be okay but a big shock to arrive too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveje Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Fuck. Mother-in-law died in the night and we only found out just before getting on the plane. (Not a surprise, just the timing.) Now in Barca but need to think about travel to UK for the funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually takes a good couple of weeks (four and six in my recent experience) to organise a funeral but can completely understand the need to get back anyway.

It’s not really ‘back’, family is in London, we live in Amsterdam, so it makes little difference at this stage where we travel from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that won’t be the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, best bet is to find someone selling them on Twickets (or twitter/facebook) and make them a low offer. At this late stage and with too much supply and little demand you'll probably quickly find someonone who accepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaytee... Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Was a bit too eager and got to check in an hour early but Luton is fairly quiet considering. Checked in, through security and sat down with a drink within the hour. Buzzing to get there now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 We had an easy time at Heathrow. Got there 2.5 hours early and were all checked in and through security within 30 minutes. Time for a sit down meal for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Took an hour and a half to get through security in the end. Even more shocking was queuing 30 minutes for a beer the other side to be told at the till it’s cash only. Get me to Barcelona now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohad Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 14 hours ago, Zoo Music Girl said: I've been looking into this too, it's like 20 euros to become a member of a club which seems a lot so hoping to get it down a less formal route too... I'm fully packed and very excited 🙂 Eventually I went to one of them, registered, and got a real good quality stuff for a very good price (once you buy more than just a few grams the 20 euros registration is marginal). The whole procedure seemed weird but once you got inside it's just the same as a nice cofeeshop in Amsterdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hilariously UK airport was no problem but we had a transfer in Frankfurt and because of an outrageous queue had to sneak under a rope barrier to queue jump (sorry guys) and sprint with cases just to be 15 mins late to board. Thank god they knew about the queue and waited for us. On the metro to the hotel now. Have a fantastic time all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
