Mexico, Playa del Carmen this year so any tips on what trips to do, Chichen Itza is top of the list so far.

 

Sal, Cape Verde last year and we loved it, not a busy island yet but for what we wanted it hit the mark we will go back in a few years.

 

Also any one done Thomson premium seats on the Dreamliner and is it worth it, Thanks

Depends on how much extra they are charging you. If you do go for them, avoid seat 7A and B(no window) and the Window seats on row 6 on the other side (think its J  and H) as they hardly recline.

Venice in 3/4 weeks. Restaurant & bar recommendations welcome plus tips on getting to/from airport. And any worthwhile sightseeing. Cheers!!

Get a water bus from the Airport into Venice - they run fairly frequently and are the cheapest option. Walking distance to terminus from Airport - I THINK you can buy your tickets in the airport.

 

Take plenty of money - food and booze not cheap. If you are feeling romantic (and flush!!) this place is great. Last time we went, we sat outside a bar, just off St Marks square overlooking Grand Canal - €19 for 2 bottles of Peroni.

 

Some hotels do a free water taxi to Murano, and take you to a glass factory - they hope you will buy, but just take it all in, then have a wander round Murano and get a water bus back.

 

Wonderful place - but very expensive - enjoy it!

Looking at a week with the Mrs family in fuetaventura in March but decent AI hotels are coming in at £700 for a week when I looked earlier on Thomas Cook

 

Other than that Rome in May for me then Ibiza July

South of France for a week in July, with 3 days in Rome bolted on (cheap flight from Marseille), then 2 weeks AI in Naama Bay for winter sun in October. Keen to hear about tips for a decent Rome hotel in the centre.

 

 

get on booking.com and check out casawally and pantheon royal suites

 

both top locations

Flying to Brisbane this year and just weighing up carriers. Anyone got good/bad experiences with Singapore/Cathay/Emirates?

 

never flown to australia but flew to thailand with qatar airways and could not recommend them any more highly. unblieveable service from start to finish and more space on their economy than BA premium

All fine.

 

I find that there's not much between them these days. Well, in cattle class anyway!
