If I do hand baggage only, I can skip the immigration step, right? I can just transit and pass through security only?

YES ! Bookings completed!

Outbound: BA492

And again another room taken in the HIX too.

Thanks.

It won’t be mankini weather, but that won’t stop @TPRun. Nobody would be able to tell the difference even if it is a bit chilly.

Aha, I’ve seen a pic of him from PHX in that mankini and he was filling it - in fact, bursting out of it lol.

There are now only 5 double bed rooms left at the HIX for the Saturday - get them quick! They must be looking at the demand for the random Saturday night six months out and wondering what on earth is going on.

As a Spire Royal Ambassador I will try to be at the front of it, whilst KARFA shuttles backwards and forwards to the bar.

@KARFA doesn’t do foresight

Although I don’t think anybody would have expected over 60 of us to turn up in GIB in March.
