No photos, please, don't want another of those threads that takes a week to load and then is too wide for the screen :lol: :eek:

Re: First time flying ????
 

I can take a photo from a long way away if that helps?

Re: First time flying ????
 

I love you blokes, you are all so modest :rofl:

Re: First time flying ????
 

Despite some of the banter I am resisting temptation and offer sensible advice.
Try to find the departure gate you will be departing from. Not sure which airport it is but some are huge and can tae ages to walk to find.

I've pm'd the OP the link I posted earlier too, http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6596734 - couple of years old, but there was some good stuff in there :)

You know it girlfriend!

Re: First time flying ????
 

Have you updated it to say "Don't take any sharp objects in your hand luggage, you'll get given these with your in-flight meal"? ;)

We got full metal cutlery on Iberia on this last trip. :blink:

Re: First time flying ????
 

:lol:
Guy in front of me as I went through security at Heathrow this time had a pair of small scissors. As I went by he was trying to persuade the security guy to let him keep them, kept saying that they were his " special cuticle scissors and I need them for my feet on the flight...." I just prayed he was nowhere near me as he clearly planned to spend the flight manicuring his feet :eek:

Must admit I've never quite understood this law. If I were a naughty boy, I'd buy a bottle of something in DF, then simply smash it to create a horribly effective weapon.

Re: First time flying ????
 

LOL sorry, it is the Barbie, and to be fair, if you have to ask what to do a an airport, you probably shouldn't be allowed out on your own anyhow. :rofl:

Re: First time flying ????
 

:lol:

Yeah it's crazy.

Well I took my work backpack with me as HL this last trip and I forgot I kept my swiss army pocket knife in there (it was given to me ages ago).

It got through Heathrow to Joburg and Joburg to Cape Town. It was only picked up on x-ray on the way back from Cape Town and confiscated. So it's still possible to get them through.

I seem to already have an orderly queue, have you been advertising it elsewhere as well?!

Re: First time flying ????
 

Elderly queue more like;)

http://www.ifly.com/airport-tips there's probably lots more out there, do a google search.

I've sent you a PM as well

cheers

Re: First time flying ????
 

Why? Not everyone is a world traveller. And don't forget we all had to take our first flight at some time. Did you know exactly what to do the first time you flew?

Re: First time flying ????
 

That's odd. According to site rule 2 you should now be 'barred from all further discussions'.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Thats also my understanding, one rule for one eh?

Re: First time flying ????
 

Try and get a seat next to the black box:) Or sit near the back, you dont often see planes reversing into mountains.:)

Re: First time flying ????
 

I shouted "BRACE, BRACE, B-R-A-C-E!!!!!" when we took off.....Not the done thing apparently?

Re: First time flying ????
 

Neither is Alu Akbar!, particulary on an American flights, you know the good old Yanks like to over react:D

Re: First time flying ????
 

The first time a flew anywhere I got a seat next to the wing exit and was sat directly facing a woman working her Rosary beads so hard see looked like she was going to rub the colour off them... not exactly settling for any first flight nerves.

Re: First time flying ????
 

If the aircraft's wing shakes during flight it means it's going to fall off...

Re: First time flying ????
 

Thanx all for your advices.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Yeah i did,i waiting for the wee green light to go on and i jumped out:p

Re: First time flying ????
 

Hope you don't listen to all the advice on this thread?! :D

Re: First time flying ????
 

No problem, good luck with your trip :)

Re: First time flying ????
 

I do! Its seems hard to believe now. I was 11 or 12 years old, maybe 13 but definitely not more and was going back to school in Edinburgh from London. I caught the tube from Upminster to Heathrow and then had to go and buy a shuttle ticket to Edinburgh. This I managed but there was problem with paying a childs ticket asI recall and had to go to see a supervisor on arrival at Edinburgh.
As I say can you imagine now sending a kid off on the tube to catch a plane on their own! Bizarre.

Re: First time flying ????
 

I was 18 and on my own on my first flight. I did it all myself (aren't I clever :rolleyes: )

It's hardly rocket science?

Go to airport.
Check in. (Here they give you huge clues like go through security and board at gate x)
Security.
Look in shops until monitor says "boarding".
Go to gate x.
Get on damn plane.
Sit on arse for hours on end.
Get off plane.
Follow the masses to passport control.
Get bags.
Leave airport.

:rofl:
