Travel Day - Christmas Eve 🎄
Edinburgh airport when you are in need of sugar and caffeine at 5 in the morning.
We went to Frankie and Benny’s in Manchester airport for breakfast. By this time we were all starving. 2 all American breakfasts for ds and Dh.
Pancakes with bacon for mil
and a traditional breakfast with no egg for me.
It was all fine and filled a very big hole in my tummy.
The virgin flight was about an hour late in leaving. It was all very festive with the staff in Christmas jumpers and Christmas hair accessories. We haven’t flown with virgin since 2001 but they were the much better price for this trip.
The food was way better than BA. The BA food used to be fine on the way out but never good on the way back but last year was just rubbish both ways.
I liked the little touch that you got a menu for a start.
The pasta salad was fine. My sausages were actually good, very chunky and flavourful.
Everyone else had the Christmas dinner and said it was fine.
Pudding was nice and light and it was Boursin cheese with the crackers which I liked.
Everyone got a little gold Lindt Christmas teddy which was a lovely touch. Ds was chuffed to get 2.
They came round later with little fab ice lollies.
Ds and I were asleep when they came round with the sandwich and little snack boxes so Dh just got one between us. The sandwich was really good,cheese and tomato chutney with crisps and a chocolate bar that ds and said was nice.
They brought round a cracker full of haribos for the kids at the end of the flight as a little Christmas present.
The flight itself was fine, the ife was much better than BA as was the food.
