Tell me about it. We had an American flying in for the MacMillan Cancer benefit gig. She'd never been out of North America before this - first passport and everything.

I told her to get a hotel or B&B anywhere east of the pier in Hastings and she'd be walking distance from anything she could possibly want.

Her travel agent stuck her in Ealing.

EALING!! I mean, look at a map, folks! She's performing in Hastings and her travel agent books her into a hotel in Ealing?!! I assumed it was because she wanted to be closer to London, so I suggested she stay in Brighton instead, so she'd be more central to both London and Hastings. Found out later she was just trusting her travel agent to get her where she needed to be.

Yeah. That's like booking a hotel in Portland Oregon to go to Disneyland, isn't it?

That is why i worked out my own itinerary via the internet to fly into Bristol , When i pay good money i expect good service , just like óle Blue-Eyes , i did it my way . Oh , the flight leg from Dublin to Bristol they put me in 1st class , now thats service that i appreciate .

If that wasn't so frustrating, that would almost be funny. Hope your friend had a nice time though.

UK Airports with Airport Maps

I checked into Bristol Airport to find out the progression and development , i was quite surprised how far it had come , living in Canada for many years , my spelling and pronunciation has somewhat detereorated . Having said that , i was somewhat taken aback at the sloppy English on the airport site , it is a sad day when a country that fought so valiently for its soveriengty against all adverseries allows this sort of thing to happen , god save the Queen and her immpecable English diction . Colin
Hey Lilly , you were worried about what ?

heathrow is the main airport and the biggest in europe, next id say is gatwick then stansted airport. when i flew to australia from birmingham they just connected at heathrow as this is the main international airport to go from. i didnt think birmingham was that big, you also have liverpool, manchester, newcastle and all the other smaller ones aswell.
