What is happening because I would imaging that if we want to get in almost anywhere we will have to book.

I'm rubbish at technology these days (I used to be a whizz mind) Just voted - I love Biancas (used to work in the bar there back in 1984). Ate there a couple of times last year and never been disappointed. Gauchos is also great.

Incidentally, for those staying on on the Sunday night (we can't unfortunately), there is a concert in St. Michael's Cave at 19:30 entitled "Unconquered - A Musical Extravaganza" featuuring the Massed bands of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and the Irish Guards with Tenor Wynne Evans.

A concert in the cave is always something special. The acoustics are better than the Royal Festival Hall!!! Tickets from https://www.buytickets.gi/events/unc...rhzjmkC6bs8X7A

Oh dear. Read some horror story of failing service on another 12-row Club cabin. Lucky us going on the later flight, where "only" 8 rows are assigned Club.

CRIKEY!

I paid £123 for my return LHR-GIB in Y. Thought it might be nice to upgrade to CW... took a look in MMB and... £469 out and £445 back... £885 both ways!

That is a lot!

I paid £363 for CE I think it was available on both flights all combinations for return for around £170 in the sale at some point, never more than £200.
