Sofitel Hotel Gatwick London (Review, Photos and Video)

…found out, it is very simple and fast to get from the Sofitel to the South Terminal. There is a walkway from the hotel into the North Terminal that comes out right at the monorail that connects the terminals. This runs every 3 minutes at peak times and every 6 at less busy times. The hotel has a very good deal if you book 8 or 15 days parking as part of the package, and this deal is listed as one of the options if you book via their site. The deal…

Caribbean Cruise Part 5: St Kitts

…t to the old town which was much more interesting. The shops in the cruise terminal area of all the islands are all very generic, and I think if I had not taken loads of photos of each of the terminal area and surrounds I would struggle to remember which was which. They all have loads of “Diamond International” shops, for example, and other jewelry shops which are sell standard items you can buy anywhere (maybe they are cheaper) and nothing that s…

Caribbean Cruise Part 2: Setting off, and the dreaded charter flight

…0 minutes alone to buy magazines. Here is a short video I did of the South Terminal and the mass of people. Video of London Gatwick South Terminal: We got on the plane, an Airbus, and the cabin was much as we expected. We were lucky enough to have been put in Row 2 in 2 seats by the window, which actually was the 1st row and so we had no seats in front of us. The layout of the plane was 2 seats – aisle – 4 seats – aisle – 2 seats. Having no seats…

Hilton JFK Airport Hotel New York Video Tour and Review

…day. Though if you just miss one bus it can take a while. It took me almost 50 minutes from leaving my terminal (American Airlines) to finally arriving at the hotel. The bus dropping off at the terminals for your flight is better as it takes you to the actual terminal. So this was much faster process in the morning. The shuttle bus leaves the hotel every half hour on the hour and half past the hour. The Hilton JFK Airport Hotel is just like every…

Cunard Around-the-World Cruise Highlights Week 11: Yokohama to Okinawa

…great fun. Despite having no idea how to use the machines I managed to win 5,000 yen. The tiny silver balls used to play in the machines came pouring out and then I had to cash them in to get a slip saying how many I had. This was converted into chips that I then had to take to another building to convert to cash. All to get a round the gambling rules! On return to the ship we headed out to Yokohama and had a snack and explored a bit. The drop of…

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport. Does Exactly What You Want An Airport Hotel To Do!

…parking, but the prices were quite similar. But as all is so close to the terminal either is just as easy to use with suitcases. It is a few minutes walk to the terminal, and very easy to find and get to and from. Recommended.

Nifty personal travel pods operational at London Heathrow T5

…ifty and clever innovations are fully operating at London Heathrow Terminal 5 (the main BA terminal at the airport). They are small travel pods that carry a few people and whisk you from the car park to the terminal, and vice versa. They run to the car park that is designed for people to leave cars at all day or for a few days, and replace buses. They not only mean that there is less traffic and pollution from buses (they estimate about 50000 trip…

…uns from 6am to midnight. It only takes a handful of minutes to get to the terminal. Not sure how long to the South Terminal but cannot be more than a few minutes at most. This hotel overall is fine. It is old fashioned on the outside and revamped on the inside. Considering they must have pretty much all one nighter’s guests, the staff is welcoming and the letter from the manager when you check-in is a nice touch. The room (I was in 304) is large….

Virgin Atlantic: Nightmare on VS18

…rk and we were getting scared. · Why did the Virgin person we spoke at the terminal after directing the driver there tell us to go to the Radisson when the hotel we should have been going to was the Ramada? · Why did passengers, including children, not get ANY food or drink (unless you were in Upper Class and got a muffin on landing at JFK) from 8am until after 5pm when we arrived at the hotel? Lack of Virgin Staff and clear information at hotel:…

…t track security check that business class passengers can use. The airport terminal as I walked through it was packed. The traffic getting into Terminal Three was bumper-to-bumper and much heavier than usual when I fly out on a Sunday from there. There are a lot of flights out from there in the morning and I guess everyone was heeding the advice about getting there early. The queues to get through the regular security and the fast Track did not se…

Special Panama Canal souvenir booths were open on the Deck 5 viewing area and out on the rear Lido Pool Deck. The photographic team was all around the ship and had three members on land and documenting every stage. The next day the entire photographic area was dedicated to their images.
