Airports - Comments & Tips

Tips when going to the airport: Try and take a teabag, that way if you can't afford the high prices (Like me sometimes) I just ask them if I can use my tea bag in their hot water. Some are ok about it. I did that at manchester once. Basically just beware that airports have Fast Food outlets at Restaurant prices, I'm not talking about BK but those that look similar to a cafe, they will charge alot. There's usually a boots at UK airports doing Meal Deals.

Berlin-Schonefeld International Airport - Sorry i havent listed this under the actual airport, but for some reason its not on dooyoo. ohh well... here it goes!

I've booked a holiday to Egypt in September, but Egyptair only flies from Heathrow. So what to do? Many people find themselves in this position, no doubt, and if they live in the Southeast, no problem. I live near Manchester, so I have several options. One option is to travel the day before the flight, stay overnight in a hotel and take its courtesy bus to the airport. If you drive, they will even keep your car in their carpark - cost £120-140.

So, what about flying from Manchester ...  Read the complete review
