replying to @dipyourtoesin @dipyourtoesin @kate_frankie ooof. #pttravel I had a flight from Mexico City back to the UK once that was fine in itself but I was dosed out on some powerful constipatory tablets so I daren'ted fart!

{as an aside, Coventry Pool Meadow Bus Station had some of the worst toilets I'd ever seen!}

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie Oddly no. Because TPE seem to have about 4 members of staff, and Avanti weren't allowing advance booking. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I used to get terrible earache when flying and I remember doing Edinburgh-East Midlands one exeat weekend and starting to panic because of the pain. Thankfully it’s never been quite as bad since. #PTTravel

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs @kate_frankie Ah, fair enough. No airline’s perfect though, and I’d rather pay £50 for a crappy experience than £150. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. Highlights for me have included spotting Greenland en route to Providence, flying over Dundee from Aberdeen, a cloud inversion just outside Prague and the mountainous approach to Geneva. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A4: the longest single flight I've ever taken was 15¾ hours, from Dubai to Auckland. This was immediately after a 7 hour flight from Manchester (I think) to Dubai.

I booked an exit row seat. Best £150 I ever spent.
