The Litts tick-off Europe before Brexit- 1)Majorca- LHR-ZRH-PMI Swiss Euro Econ & Biz
1)Majorca, Spain Hi Ladies and Gents, welcome back to another Litt family journey. This time we are off to the island of Majorca. Previous Litt family journeys can be seen below: Previous trip reports: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...y-ba-a380.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...-amritsar.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...evy-tahoe.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...90-review.html Background: Its been an interesting year since my last trip report. Father Litt had decided to leave the world of Management Consultancy behind and move on to pastures new. Whilst this had many many benefits, the main downside was that he had less leave to use this summer. This meant that our planned jaunt to Palm Springs, had to be postponed. For me, this was my final year of A-Levels, and having turned 18 in July, with many different birthday functions I had to attend, the only real week that we could travel on was after A-Level results day. Having booked this trip, a week before we left ( who is seeing the pattern here? :rolleyes: ), Swiss air was our best bet for getting to PMI, without paying the same kind of ticket price that one would pay for the trip to LA or to the Far East. We were receiving quotes of Ģ2,400 in Club Europe with BA (SHOCK HORROR). Swiss air was coming it at a full Ģ1,000 cheaper with the return leg being flown in Short-Haul Biz. So we took it. Brexit has hit the UK quite hard, I think the reality of the decision is finally beginning to sink in and we were quite disappointed about the fact that many people felt so disenfranchised they decided they wanted out, but fair enough! So we thought we would take advantage of being able to travel across Europe whilst we still could and slowly but surely tick off countries that we hadn't been to before... by starting with a country we had been to before :p Thats the Litts for you. :rolleyes: The rough overview of what to expect from this trip: 1. The day before the trip 2. LHR-ZRH-PMI 3. The Villa 4. The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 5. Island activities 6. Lounge hoping 7. Flying home- PMI-ZRH-LHR The day before the trip: As per my last trip report, which was exactly one year ago, where we drove to Geneva, this year I collected my final batch of A-Level results, with the hope of reading law. Once finding what position I was in and my grades, I began the process off putting the stress of the summer behind me and focusing on the one week of relaxation I had planned, before it all kicks off again. I began the process of online check-in... https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7559/2...e7527333_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8423/2...0a8484ff_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8812/2...348cfe23_c.jpg Finished my packing, had one final gym session... https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7636/2...c7094f6b_c.jpg And finally was able to relax. The Day of the Trip: We left home at 10:30 and made the short drive to Heathrow T2. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8064/2...32aef02b_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8176/2...9b6d6fe5_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8203/2...88b4a4d3_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8501/2...2034f9a4_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8049/2...ba9da0aa_c.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7780/2...e1c86d66_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8478/2...9dec701a_c.jpg Not as cool... https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8104/2...9fbd615f_c.jpg After pulling up, grabbing our luggage and taking the lifts to departures, we had arrived at bag drop. https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8357/2...57da0d60_c.jpg My trolley https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8382/2...7755d4d5_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8105/2...36ecee1b_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8131/2...5a092464_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8515/2...5337d5f2_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8070/2...06e594b5_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8168/2...aab5b1c5_c.jpg Rather (un)amusingly, the DIY bag tag machine wasn't working so we had to queue for 25 minutes and go through the standard check-in malarkey. https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7776/2...1b417a3c_c.jpg After finally dumping our bags, we went through an incredibly empty security and were airside. https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8449/2...44346714_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8132/2...0f751594_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7749/2...8a88b2b7_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8594/2...cd25fab9_c.jpg Our lounge today was the Plaza Premium Lounge, where we gained access using Amex Centurion. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8054/2...63297000_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8072/2...b7a9331e_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8159/2...4b6284f0_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8532/2...e8a1e244_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8040/2...a32deebf_c.jpg The food options here were actually pretty good. https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8180/2...0a5f147d_c.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8341/2...381edef5_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8586/2...bb08034f_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8251/2...7f14377b_c.jpg Tea and Coffee https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8131/2...56acb4bf_c.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8347/2...cbae56a5_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8242/2...f5c0e88a_c.jpg My preferred beverage of the day https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8539/2...9500d1b1_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8409/2...35858ca8_c.jpg Bit of reading... https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8075/2...f5b9d54e_c.jpg I went for the 5 Bean Chilli, which was basically not that chilli and some potato wedges... https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8341/2...4217a34a_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8883/2...3b17eb44_c.jpg How it was meant to be done... https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8095/2...4ccd06d7_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8549/2...58e4cf67_c.jpg Lavatory. https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8176/2...c59c60f7_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8411/2...1d7ae641_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8158/2...fa63a61f_c.jpg By 12:45, we hadn't been assigned a gate and I decided to check whether our inbound aircraft had landed yet. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7778/2...303fec0f_c.jpg HB-JLT https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8217/2...6af630ab_c.jpg Lounge Overview: Overall it was a pretty good lounge to spend an hour and a half. It lacked a variety of non-alcoholic beverages and had no tarmac view or any view for that matter so felt quite dreary. Food was pretty good though! After leaving the lounge we headed out to do some airside shopping: https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8488/2...22455e34_c.jpg I LOVE LEGO! https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8158/2...314aa80f_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8425/2...c7a43215_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8114/2...2d5b08e0_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8852/2...0e5886bb_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8170/2...fc358f45_c.jpg We eventually checked the information boards once again and our flight gate was available https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8431/2...88d09148_c.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8770/2...48c67f61_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8231/2...5f71151d_c.jpg And after letting the gate lice go through, the Litt Family Brexit Tour had finally begun! |
Another great one with clever insights and writing style. I'm looking forward to more installments.

Connecting at Zurich
Connecting at Zurich
As previously mentioned, we had a 55 minute connection and with boarding being called in 30 minutes, going to the lounge, dare I say it, seemed pointless. We began walking up the stairs to immigration, with our A320 still in sight https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8396/2...1450cc5b_c.jpg After clearing immigration, we began looking for our Abflug gate https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8192/2...2df88969_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8525/2...267f892f_c.jpg Quite like this https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8229/2...8218c652_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8045/2...37b74128_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8578/2...6e97b266_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8408/2...6963b5df_c.jpg Whilst I was walking to our new gate, B36, I saw a plane with a bunch of faces on it. Ignoring it initially, it began to stick our like a sore thumb when put next to a bunch of A320's, it was this... https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8302/2...2030e940_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8046/2...c27cbbef_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8516/2...a070cca9_c.jpg :D -HB-JNA Swiss's first 777-300ER!! (More pictures of that later)! Anyhow, boarding was called at 17:10 and we began walking down Zurich's corridors, which seemed like they had run out of budget and were unable to finish... https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8544/2...bcbd69b6_c.jpg Makes you think... https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8212/2...ecffd202_c.jpg More 77W https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8389/2...10cc24bc_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8069/2...a9f7b869_c.jpg Our second A320 today, subbed in instead of a A321 https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8414/2...b25efafd_c.jpg As I was busy taking pictures,I heard a lady say "Oh Hello again." Bit peculiar seeing as how I had never been to Zurich before. It turned out to be the crew from our first flight. :D |

Enjoying the report so far and looking forward to the rest.
Thanks for the links to your other reports, I've just lost Sunday afternoon reading them :eek: good job it's a bank holiday weekend :D |
Letting the holiday begin... or does it?
We got off the plane at Palma and began our walk to passport control https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8250/2...a8deaa45_c.jpg Just a quick note, it was quite surprising to see departure passengers and arriving passengers being able to interact with each other, i.e there was no separation between the two. First time I have seen this and was an interesting surprise. https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8841/2...056ebc99_c.jpg We didn't have to clear immigration because we were in the Schengen Zone, and so we went straight to baggage reclaim. Being honest with you all, I wasn't expecting our luggage to come out. With a 50 minute connection I just didnt have high hopes. https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8601/2...496a85aa_c.jpg But it must have been the Litts day because it did make it https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8455/2...6a052dfc_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8033/2...57b2c3fbfe.jpg We grabbed our luggage whilst dad went to the Hertz desk to get the car info. Waiting for dad https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8408/2...4e2a1eca_c.jpg You come out of Palma airport, which is full of holiday reps and walk to a separate building to collect your car, having already been given the key at the desk in the terminal.

No mum I did French and Spanish and boy do I regret that decision now :confused: Soon we rocketed out onto the Motorway heading north to the area of Creastaux at the North of the Island where our Villa is located https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8256/2...3c92406a_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8301/2...4b2bd2b9_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8551/2...0049242e_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8269/2...77ce1949_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8114/2...7f249654_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8141/2...357bd551_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8716/2...3a18b93f_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8514/2...3bb41340_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7771/2...a8605a4c_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8378/2...4506f417_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8032/2...23ab93ca_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7744/2...f89d0926_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8817/2...b808f9aa_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8073/2...804644dc_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8161/2...662812b4_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8380/2...1d4cb2b3_c.jpg https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8163/2...6ba5648d_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8485/2...f971c226_c.jpg It took us 35 minutes to get from the South of the Island to the North and by 21:00 we had arrived at our Villa https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8374/2...f8307a90_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8448/2...969f3cbe_c.jpg Whilst we waited for the owner to arrive and give us the keys, we got out to look at the BM And the most obvious thing was this... https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8447/2...66338182_c.jpg And um this... https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8383/2...4c6bf901_c.jpg How prey tell did we miss that? :eek: We decided to put dealing with that on the back burner and whilst waiting for the lady, I took more pictures https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8430/2...52f9c278_c.jpg Anyway after she arrived, we went inside to our villa and after spending the next hour unpacking and becoming familiar with our home for the week, we decided to order pizza because we had no food. The pizza was meant to be delivered and after an hour after being order, bearing in mind its now 22:55 we find out the pizza guy can't find our house. Of course, Dad and I decide its time for a mini-road trip and rush off to collect it. I get dressed and tie, what is without a doubt the worst turban I have EVER tied and we head out into the town of Sa Pobla :td::td::td::td: 13 minutes drive https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8350/2...285ac2c1_c.jpg Back on the road again... https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8360/2...f4efff7d_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8201/2...34c16a9b_c.jpg 10 minutes later and after being seen in public with my poorly tied turban :(:( we had collected dinner! https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8437/2...65e135e5_c.jpg https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8041/2...8244af7c_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8131/2...fb848c3e_c.jpg A derelict restaurant, well what else was I expecting at 11:15 on a Sunday evening to be fair? https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8413/2...8121e147_c.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8316/2...b865b94e_c.jpg The Sa Pobla square https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8139/2...43b588ac_c.jpg Reminds me of Geneva https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8093/2...2ba53e13_c.jpg https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8493/2...5a195a41_c.jpg All the streets in this town were incredibly narrow. Had we a larger 4x4 we wouldn't have fit https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8417/2...1cfcdd2a_c.jpg 20 Minutes later I found myself eating this pizza, drinking yet another Sprite and I was struggling to stay awake. What a start to this vacation... :o https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8449/2...d4e25237_c.jpg |
Excellent TR; thanks for sharing!
A friend of mine got me a tank top that I think is hilarious: "Made in the UK Destroyed in Magalluf". I think it was for a hen week-end. Apparently, it's rather wild there. Enjoy the vacation! |
Itīs pretty normal cars on Mallorca are configurated in German;)

Well done on the A Levels. Enjoy your short holiday - looks like a great TR. I am looking forward to the rest.
