Flying Business Class With BA

We were lucky enough to fly to Barcelona with BA last week and even luckier to fly business class. Now no matter what class we have flown we have always enjoyed great service. The best we have received on any other airline. Even in the past when there have been minor problems with flights, planes, ash clouds etc. BA have always got us to our destination. This faith has ensured that in the last few years we always book with BA.

I thought I would share our business class experience. And my justification, why I feel flying business is worth the extra. 

Firstly cost, if you shop about you can get some great deals. We booked with our Avios points so for us it was a mega deal. It cost us; £50.00 each, 30 thousand Avios, and a companion voucher. For this we got return connecting flights from Manchester to Heathrow, then flights from Heathrow to Barcelona. 

Convenience, BA has a dedicated check in for business class, silver and gold executive club members. This is great as although we did have a slight queue at Manchester you generally do not have to wait very long at all before your bags are checked in. 

Airport security fast track, this was amazing. You get to go in a fast track queue through security that is so much quicker. The airport staff was still as thorough on security checks yet we sped through due to less crowd volume. 

Super Break Family Travel Writer 2014

Recently I wrote a review about Disney Land Paris and submitted it to the SuperBreak Travel Writer 2014 competition. I really didn't think I stood a chance.  But decided it would be great experience. I knew I would be up against some heavyweight travel bloggers. Anyhow I wrote my review and submitted it with my fingers crossed. 

And then, much to my amazement, last Friday when I checked the SuperBreak Blog.  Not only had I been short listed for the grand final, to become the SuperBreak travel writer 2014. I had been awarded the title of SuperBreak Family Travel Writer 2014. Wow what an honour I can't describe how excited I was when I read it on the Internet. In fact I screamed (not my usual behaviour) it frightened the living daylights out of the boys. 

It means so much, travel is my passion in life, all I think about is  travel and holidays. To the point that at times I drive Chris mad. Thank you SuperBreak for short listing me and awarding me with this amazing runners up title. And Congratulations to Natasha Daniels the overall winner and SuperBreak Travel Writer 2014

Living With Type 1 Diabetes, Traveling With Medication.

There is so much to think about when going away on holiday, sun cream, toiletries, clothes, and shoes. But now we also have to ensure we have all of Jacks necessary medication, and trust me there is loads. And spares in case of emergency. 

The first time we went away this blew my mind a bit as we had to make sure we had all bases covered. A typical holiday list looks a bit like this.
