London Eye - Do it the easy way

Posts: 28 Forumite
Have just returned from a great day out in London (Thanks to all those from an earlier thread who gave tips on what to do).
We booked the London Eye online in advance and saved 10% - about £5
Went for the Discovery Flight, as we wanted to know about the Eye and general information about London and the views - although this was about £5 extra - this was the 10% discount, so didn't feel too bad about it.
What we didn't realise at the time, was that Fast Track came as part of the price - so we walked to the desk 30 minutes before the flight, got our tickets and was told to come back in 15.
Came back in 15, and within 5 minutes we were being escorted by our guide up to the Eye. Right on time, we were onboard and enjoying the views on a beautiful day, listening to a very knowledgable guide.
We enjoyed looking down on the numerous queues of people, thinking were so glad we did it this way, as it topped a great day out, and the children enjoyed their first day out in London.
So the moral of this thread - is to book online and use the discount to upgrade - saving time and enjoying the experience a whole lot more.
