Manchester airport was more than OKAY when we went to Munich in December.Quote:

To summarise, the krauts are punishing us Brits for Brexit airport wise, Manchester Airport looks like its got it $hit together at last and Mrs BT is plotting more European trips, which is fine by me.
Covid is not mentioned. It now appears it was not that much of a threat after all. :o
Thanks for that mon ami, our passports have run out and I'm pondering whether to renew them or not. I'm too old to be fecked about by jobsworths in the travel industry any more.
Life's for living mon ami, renew the passports and carpe diem. ;DQuote:

Wales in August. (Family holiday 8 of us going!)
Ancona/Split in September. (To be confirmed, ferry to book).
Tenerife in December (booked to be away at Christmas). B)
Mrs BT also wants to squeeze in a trip to the US but I'm not up for that, too many guns attached to eejits for my liking now.
Anyway that's our new policy, after trying Munich again, I'm now up for a little European adventure. O:)
Aren't the Yanks still insisting on the clot shot before they'll let you in ?
I don't know mon ami, because I ain't going. >:)Quote:
