    So you drop your luggage and then go through security and into the lounge.

    depending what time the flight is, you may find that the luggage drop off desk or check in are open a long time before your flight. I can't remember if Thomson still have separate check-in desks for each flight. If they do, then you will have to wait until the check-in for your flight opens, so chances are you won't get 3 hours in the lounge.

    Thanks silver car and other ops That's what I now think will be the case. Oh well will just need to drink quickly :rotfl:

    Thomson's and I have luggage for the week

    We went with Thomson's in February. Their check in/bag drop was open when we arrived 3.5hrs before flight. Dropped bags, through security and into the lounge within 45mins. Had a very relaxed time before the flight. :D Which lounge are you using? Don't forget to take your large backpack, ziplocks etc and have it open. Numerous snacks will find there way in there, for a nibble on the flight/at hotel etc. Packets of crisps/biscuits/cakes are good, as they 'keep'. Filled rolls are good if you are going sc or for the flight (depends how long it is). If you are really lucky, you will be able to take cans of drink with you which will save a fortune on the flight. Unfortunately, my local pours the drinks for you.

    please can I ask a stupid question - the brain is a bit foggy

    The walkers promo - are you all buying the multibags which are 3 for £3 in sada - and inside these are vouchers for free multipacks - are you getting a good enough return, say one winning voucher per multipack?

    So the first 3 along with the usual random or cashback items, you pay for with money or APGs and then on the next trip you buy 3 but use 2 free multipack mocs plus usual shopping

    I told you it was a stupid question

    usually i get OH the basic multipacks of crisps as he has these with his lunch pack - I am not totally convinced he is deserving of walkers :)

    I know this is going to sound thick :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We have all the stuff printed off but normally queue to put luggage in

    Last week was the first I have ever travelled alone :eek:

    I have never flown on my own, I struggled to get a train on my own (done it once)... I would rather drive everywhere! x

    Have a fabulous time, and remember your backpack xxxxx
