Hi, it's my first time going abroad and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one whose a but nervouac I'm flying from Heathrow and can't wait to meet you all :)
Hi all,
I have booked on the NY tour for March 24th, departing from Heathrow - nice early start, oh lovely; just waiting for JY to come back to me on a finalising issue.
Fret not, this will be my second trip overseas with JY and there's nothing to worry about; signposts are very helpful things at airports. JY are brilliant, and can be called on as much, or as little, as you need them during the trip. Great if the tour manager meets you at the departure airport, but don't fret if he/she doesn't (as happened) it's not the end of the world, getting through the airport (which I was nervous about) and the arrival airport, is very straight forward. The flight itself, the first one I went on was about 2 hours - this is significantly longer (not sure how long it actually is without asking JY). A good newspaper, book or an iPad on flight mode should keep you entertained. Unlike my last flight, there's not much to see out the window if you get a window seat.
See you March 24th at Heathrow.
Regards,
Andrew.
