    last time we booked with xl we didnt book food but got it anyway but it was a xl flight not a flyjet one.
    If you havnt got insurance go to travelsupermarket you should get a family policy for under £20
    Cheapest transfere is taxi about 25 euros each way per taxi
    approx £35 return for all of you

    Yes, i noticed on my conf that there where no meals. Flight is after dinner anyway so will take the usual Netto bagettes filled with lovely ham ect and shop bought bottles or cans to drink for dinner and on plane ;)

    Who are the transfers with please?

    Thanks again, your fab :)

    Thats a good price for pre booking a taxi.
    You are right in the midlde of eveything we stayed next door at the Puerto Tahiche <sp> right over the road there is a bar called the Bulldog..great for breakfast and snakes ..just round the corner there is the Sports Bar if its a little windy go up there for a drink its a sun trap and drinks are cheap

    try https://www.toandfromtheairport.com it should say if the bus runs past the airport ...I cant remeber if it does or not

    its saying on there its 12 euros each way so maybe I was thinking the 25 euros we paid was return its been ages ago

    Thanks for the tips for brekky ect(i find snakes a bit scary though, do they bite lol)

    wow will check out the website you mentioned, 12E is really cheap.

    You guys are sure gonna make sure i have a fab holiday. I could cry again(there are some lovely people on here)

    ok, in true money saving style i have an idea, but need some help from anyone with local knowledge of Newcastle. I see on the multimap website that there is a metro that runs to the airport. So could i park in a nearby residential street and jump on the metro to save me paying £30 for parking?

    Alternatively, are there any private homes nearby who rent a space on their drive and give transfers to the airport.

    no one you call in a favour to take you to the airport.
    It would be a good idea to start a money saving scheme on here for house parking.

    What a cheek, i can totally understand why they need to be cautious but surely a sealed bottle of water can be allowed.

    I tend to save all the perfume sample strips and little sachets of gel and shampoo from mags especially to take on holiday, so should manage to keep that under 100ml.

    Mmmm i wonder if we should book an airport lounge then to cover drinks and snacks before the flight.

    You can still take all your freebie shampoos etc just they have to go in your case in the hold.
