Not that I’m tight or anything, I just see it as the cheaper we can do it, the more we can do.
Up earlier than usual this morning (Friday 13th) to catch a 7:50am National Express to Heathrow, although the coach stop is only a 10 minute walk from home we still managed to miss it! My fault for one leaving my electric toothbrush on my bathroom chair running back for it and not reading the ticket properly and going to the wrong coach stop. Luckily my wife’s brother wasn’t working till this afternoon so gave us a lift, almost ran out of petrol on the motorway because the first place we diverted to was shut. Then after eventually getting to terminal 2 I managed to smack my wife round the head with a luggage tray at security in my haste to get our bags back.
Didn’t want to pay extra to choose seats on the flight so had to wait till 24 hours before to get them free, obviously a lot less choice by then especially because the flight was full, I picked the last row 64J & 64K which actually worked out really well, just two seats window & aisle, quite a big gap between us and the middle row and although the last row, they reclined as much as the others. First time with Air Canada and after joining a facebook group a few months ago I was a little bit worried because of the amount of negative posts about service, food, luggage etc, our experience was really good, the food was (not quite up to Mike O/s standard on his last flight) very good, especially the chicken teriyaki. Not only the seats though, we didn’t want to pay £60 each way to check a suitcase so we’re doing a 3 week road trip with hand luggage only, more on that later.
