Funny you should mention this holidy as i went and got a just you brochure today and was looking at the same holiday same time. i am 26 and a bit apprehensive about doing a holiday like this.
after coming out of a longterm relationship I was desperate to go on holiday but didn't want to go alone.My ex went on a cruise last year so thought if he can do it, so can I ! I've heard very good reports about JY holidays and always wanted to visit Italy so decided to go for it ! Hope you're going to book up,I'm really looking forward to it. Joy
I too have booked this as my first JY holiday. I am on the 23 Sept trip. Have tried a Discovery weekend which went very well so am hoping the holiday will be just as good. As I am sure you know I am excited and apprehensive at the same time !!
Have you booked yet?? If not why not, if I can do it anyone can!! I am twice your age+ - can't give all my secrets away here - they say the older you are the harder it is, well thats my excuse anyway. I am flying down the day before from Manchester and, at the moment am even slightly apprehensive about that but, if the Discovery weekend is anything to go by I am sure everything will be fine.
I'm travelling down from Glasgow but don't know what time my flight is so I may be better coming down the day before too. May I ask what hotel have you booked in to as I might try for the same one if I need to.

I'm from Edinburgh and also booked for the Classic Cities of Italy on 23rd September.Am very excited,but nervous too,as this will be my first holiday on my own.
Anne.
According to information I have, the flight to Venice leaves at 07.30 which is why I am going down the day before. I'm due to arrive at Gatwick at 12.45 and am booked into the Crowne Plaza Gatwick-Crawley. Just You booked the connecting flights & hotel for me after I phoned to tell them I needed to fly down (was initially thinking of coach but it wasn't practical). I did look on the British Airways website & told them which flights I would like to be on. It would be nice if we could meet up. Good Luck.
on my travel info the flight from Gatwick to Venice leaves at 12.50 arriving in Venice at 16.00. My flight from Glasgow to Gatwick doesn't show a time so I'll have to phone and check on that.Think I'd be better to come down the day before as I'd probably have to get a really early flight down on the 23rd and would be worried if there were any delays.If I do I'll meet you in the hotel bar for a large G & T !!
It seems that we are all in the same boat i.e. first timers, so we know just how each other is feeling. I'm sure we will be fine!!
Sorry to see that you have had to cancel Anne. Hope it doesn't put you off booking again.
Joy - I am a bit concerned that we seem to have conflicting information about the flight to Venice.(Anne also had 7.30). This time is on my confirmation invoice and is different to the brochure. You're on for that drink!!
I phoned to check on the flight time and yes, was told it was 07.30. I said I was rather concerned that I hadn't been informed of this and was told that I would have been told that I would be informed 6 weeks before departure date.I still said I was concerned as this would now mean I'd have to come down the day before but I was told to leave it as the flight times may change again !! Don't know what to do now ! Might be better coming down the day before just to be sure.
My flight & overnight hotel are already booked so, whatever happens now, I'm definitely going down the day before.
well I've decided to come down on the Wednesday too just to be sure !I was going to book through JY but was told that they book from month to month so wouldn't book the hotel till the beginning of September.
Not too keen on leaving it so late so will book it myself tomorrow then I can relax !!
JY booked mine for me - what's going on? Anyway,let me know how you get on & if you go for the same hotel.
Oh I don't know what's going on !! I phoned JY again and have been told that they'll only change my flight from Glasgow 4 weeks before the holiday as the flight times may change back to 12.50hrs.I wasn't actually expecting the added expense of an overnight stay so I'll just leave it to JY, I guess they know what they're doing!Don't worry.....no matter what happens I'll see you at Gatwick !! Looking forward to meeting everyone. Roll on September !
well.....I've just gone ahead and booked my overnight stay at the Crowne Plaza on the 22nd, so I'll see you in the bar for that G&T after all !!!
Brilliant, look forward to it. Will have to decide how we are going to recognise each other!!!
