    Leeds Bradford airport a complete shambles. Worst I’ve ever seen an airport. Jet2 a victim over expanding too with a two hour wait for coaches at Palma to the resort with lots of angry passengers shouting at staff.

    Tbh, I can’t fault Jet2 whatsoever. I feel like they always TRY and put the customer first, especially during covid and that Icelandic volcano thing the other year. Other companies failed miserably, especially TUI, I don’t think I’d ever book with them.

    Yes I’m usually very pro Jet2 in fact we were once delayed 10 hours with them and it was the best delay we ever had, put up in a hotel with free drinks and food however Palma the other day was just a total unorganised mess.

    If you can put aside the airport chaos*, the holiday experience is pretty much the same, I’d say, as it was before.

    Alicante airport was a doddle, btw, no problems there.


    *3 or 4 hours of standing in line, basically.

    We have flown with Lufthansa a few times and always had excellent service. Long distance to Japan and more local to Turkey, Albania and Germany. Never a problem.

    I've been in Italy for eight days now. In and around Fano, on the east coast. Really enjoying eating lots of excellent food that you never see on menus in Italian restaurants in Britain. Also drinking quality house red wine at cheap as chips prices - at one restaurant it was 4 euros per litre! Off to Bologna - gastronomic capital of Italy - on Tuesday, so I don't expect any let up in the food quality.

    Visited the walled hill city of Urbino (a political powerhouse in medieval times and the birthplace of the artist Raphael) last Wednesday. A beautiful place and a good day out if you're in the Marche/Emilia Romagna area.

    Got absolutely hammered last night at a wedding. Fabulous outdoor ceremony in a venue overlooking the sea. Free bar was a killer. Expected to have the hangover from hell today but surprisingly ok. Off shortly to a beach restaurant for lots of lovely seafood.

    Seen as though 98% of this forum goes to Italy for their holidays, James May has just brought an Italian documentary on where to go on Amazon….

    Give it a rest soft lad - should have been there 3 or 4 weeks ago!
    The ice cubes in my Aperol Spritzers lasted about 30 seconds.

    The thermal baths are quite fun, although maybe better in winter
