Easyjet, RyanAir or Flybe

Static dischargers on the winglet and aileron ...

Image via Wikipedia Our recent trip to Malta involved flights with all 3 of the major low-cost airlines we have access to: EasyJet, RyanAir and FlyBe. I’m really quite impressed with Easyjet out of the 3 of them. Their service is pretty much superior to the others, the staff more cordial and their baggage arrangements…

September holiday

Image via Wikipedia We’re off to Malta at the end of the month; it’s the twins’ birthday and it will be great to celebrate it with family and far away friends. We haven’t really had a a holiday this summer, it’s just that the twins have really been keeping our hands full. I don’t know…

Where to holiday this year?

Image by -AX- via Flickr We haven’t made any plans where we’re going on holiday this year. The twins are still under 2, so travel with them should be a bit cheaper .. and easier as they won’t be running around anywhere. As they grow older, it might be more difficult, but the great thing…

Nothing new from the airlines

Flybe Embraer 195 (G-FBEH) taxis at Birmingham...

Image via Wikipedia So, it’s been a week since I wrote to RyanAir and FlyBe about our cancelled flights and subsequent re-routing costs, and haven’t really heard anything yet. Well, it was only a few days, so I suppose I wasn’t really expecting anything just yet; but we’re currently almost £1000 out of pocket, so…

Going to Malta for Christmas

photo credit: Penelope Else Well, only a few days left and we’re off to Malta for Christmas. We’re off to see some family and we’re taking the babies down to be christened. It’s going to be great because no one has really seen much of them yet. Both our sets of parents haven’t seen the…

The twins are one month old

I know it feels like only a few days have passed, but I woke up today to find that the twins are a full month old. They’re growing fast and although they’re hard work, they’re both lots of fun. We went out for a pizza tonight to celebrate, though the twins slept through the whole…

Xmas in Malta

Image by Carmelo Aquilina via Flickr We’re planning on going to Malta for Christmas this year; to get the twins christened and show them off to family and friends. We’re still looking at flying options, but it’s going to cost a bomb; Xmas is a bad time to be flying especially as everyone seems to…

Back home from Disney

We’re back home from Paris and Disney, but I still haven’t had chance to download my photos yet; Anyway, I just wanted to say that we had a great time and can’t wait to go back! It was our first Disney experience and it was out of this world. We had photos with all the…

Loads and loads of people at Disney

Image by kalandrakas via Flickr The one astounding thing about Disney is how the park is designed to cope with droves of people. I don’t know how many people go to their parks every day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re talking 5 figures. They manage to handle such large loads by designing the…

Great photoshoot with Mickey

Image via Wikipedia I’m afraid I don’t have photos to share, but we had a great photo shoot with Mickey Mouse today. We were walking into the park and spotted a queue waiting to have their picture taken with him; and as it wasn’t too long, joined in. I managed to get a few good…
