Thank you CWS I appreciate the info. There are 3 of us. DH is booking the bus now. The cost of that is not a big deal but the £245 for the sofitel is a bit more painful. The Premier Inn at the airport was full when I tried to book. Oh well expensive lesson learned. I just hope we get away on Saturday and we can check if the NO. 1 lounge is as bad as I've read.
