Olh habits

Only been back one night and once again sleepless nights, but having said that I sat up all Wednesday night in the hotel room as I was a"bit off colour"!!!.
Anyway - up and getting ready to go to Border Bikes at Duns to get the motorbike serviced, then to East Linton . Home, hopefully after that but I have a R. A. Installation at Gorebridge Dundas 479 this evening. working Saturday, and Sunday although I need to go to an OES rehearsal at lunch time, then an evening pick up before heading to Runcorn on Sunday night for an early drop on Monday morning.

Back to the past few days, we flew direct from Edinburgh Airport to Avignon with Jet2.Com which was not bad, but it was the pricing that bugged me, once again the offer says , "prices from £xxx, but when you add on all the so called extras, like taxes, meals, booking seats and paying for bags, the price has trebled. We had a 17 KG limit and stuck to it which was fine, and Jet2.Com being bart of Globespan were reasonable. The main group flew from Edinburgh to Marseilles with Ryan Air, had a 15 KG limit and one couple had to pay £100 excess, another £30. what a racket - nearly as bad as the French taxi drivers.

 

I believe the law changes soon and all airlines will have to advertise the full fares from the start so it will be easier to compare airlines - other than the baggage allowances, in flight meals, etc. Of course, we put bags in the hold, but there were still those who managed to call their main bag the hand baggage and they were stuffed up into the racks.

Anyway - off to Duns now , back on air soon.
