    Giving gifts to flight attendants

    I have never heard of giving gifts. Is this a new thing? Please don't tell me it's something they do in the US!

    Entry to the US

    I went in April to Orlando and, like you, it was a breeze. I wasn't asked for anything.

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    But no meat option for a (non sandwich) main meal with the Dish menu nor an option for a proper sausage with the breakfast.

    Doncaster Sheffield Airport to reopen?

    Leaving aside for one moment the rights and wrongs of reopening the airport, I was curious to know how late this year does the airport need to have a confirmed date in order for any airline to operate there for spring 2026?

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    The post I replied to implied that there was a (very small??) chance you might not get your choice when pre ordering.

    Doncaster Sheffield Airport to reopen?

    We find that neither TUI or Jet2 are "budget" or "low coast" unless perhaps you want to travel in the middle of the night.

    Doncaster Sheffield Airport to reopen?

    Yes, the post just above mine. 1745825142 I was just disputing your use of the term "not difficult". In my view, a round trip of 6 to 8 hours can't be classed as easy. The London airports are reachable but with a little effort.

    Doncaster Sheffield Airport to reopen?

    I wouldn't say the London hub airports were particularly easy to get to if you factor in the several or more hours to get there from the north.

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    My return meal will be later than expected. When I booked, the flight from MCO was 19:00, shortly after changed to 21:20 and now further put back to 22:10 At least I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at the Disney parks!

    Driving behaviour when emergency vehicles are approaching.

    It's interesting that "blues and twos" referred to in this thread is still used despite the two tone siren not being used since the early 80s

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    The chicken I had going out yesterday was hot, the salad and bread roll freezing cold so I added the salad to the chicken to warm it up and eat the roll near the end.

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    I will be annoyed if whatever I choose isn't what I get.

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    I've just found out my outgoing options will be honey and mustard chicken or the Cumberland sausage. I will have a think as I'd have both.

    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    When I'm choosing a meat, beef isn't first on the list for me anyway. 1743325968 So not LNER sized portions then?
