Travel day

Good morning from the Escape Lounge in T2 Manchester airport!

We slept ok-ish… it was very warm in the Premier Inn, but there was a fan in our room luckily.

We had an 8am reservation for breakfast, but ended up there around 7.30am. When we arrived there were only 2 other people in there.

This was the menu -



There was a good selection of continental breakfast items -













DH didn’t want anything from the continental stand.

I filled my water bottle and had two end crusts of white bread toasted.

I’ll be taking this into the parks with us -





You order your cooked breakfast from the waitress.

I didn’t want to end up too thirsty on the flight so ordered two veggie sausages (thinking veggie would make me less thirsty than regular sausages), 2 pieces of bacon, 1 hash brown and some scrambled egg.

The sausage was absolutely dire, it had a very cardboard consistency to it. I left 1 sausage and gave DH my 2nd piece of bacon. I also left some egg, there was just too much!

My favourite part of breakfast was the toast… As I’ve been being good I haven’t had much in the way of bread products for a while.



DH ordered a full English. He really enjoyed this, said it was hot and tasty.



We didn’t have much to pack up and were soon on our way to the airport.

We parked in T2 meet and greet with no issue and fastpass through security.

Duty free had an offer on of spend £130 and get a 20% off voucher so we bought a perfume and aftershave each then I went back and picked up a few other bits.

This was my little haul -



I picked up 5 x 1l of Evian bottles of water for tonight and tomorrow morning. £2 each from Boots.

We booked the Aspire lounge via our Barclays account for free.

Despite our booking not being until 11.15am, we arrived at 10.25am and they have let us in.

It’s very small in here, there’s a small tea station and a tiny selection of food. There’s a bar with a good amount of free alcoholic drinks.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend this lounge if you were paying out of pocket, but it will do us as somewhere just to sit away from the crowds.

I’ve filled my water bottle up again and DH has a tea. No food for us.





There’s a sign next to the food and drink saying no photography or filming so I can’t show you.

I think we will be called to the gate in around an hour so will leave it there.

We’re flying VA Premium so will take some photos of the food and our snack bags and upload later.

The plan is collect our toll pass, head straight to Alamo garage then to POFQ, unpack and catch the boat to Disney Springs for Blaze pizza tonight!

Eeek! I can’t actually believe we’re going.

See you on the other side!
