Looks stunning! (Interpret that however you'd like :P ) Do you reckon it'd be any good during winter? Always looking for somewhere less grey and cold than London is...

Granada gets pretty cold in wintertime, it sits right by mainland Spain's highest peak which is also a popular ski station.

Thanks for reading lostinlondon Sure Granada would be fine in the winter. It'll be cooler but as long as it's dry you can still wander around!

I had the pleasure of meeting another FTer - JamieABZ who was travelling with his daughter on the same flight as me. We had some fizz together and shared some travelling stories and had a great time. We made our way to the gate just before boarding which was an absolute scrum. The priority line was massive. We kinda just lurked in the background and when they called Golds and CE, we bypassed most of the queue and were on in no time. While my fellow FTer made his way back behind the curtain () I took my seat in 1F.

Nice to bump into you again, the pleasure was all yours. Plus it was perfectly fine back in the emergency exit row thank you! I remember that flight well because it was the first time I succumbed to BOB - I was determined not to let the b'stards force me to buy their overpriced booze, but alas, after a few glasses of bubbles in the lounge with you, daughter and I were in the mood for more. Sigh, slippery slope. Great report, now bring on the Valencia one.

Amazing title for the report and equally amazing that it was a dual report in one. Thank you for sharing this. The humour was spot on ... just a 'wee' bit.

Funny and entertaining trip report. I think Id avoid your cheese and chutney stu1985, but your nuts look very tempting indeed. Hope to meet you in a lounge one day.
