It would have been cheaper to buy all those bottles of Bacardi at Asda

If you have a heavy coats, jackets or any heavy boots/shoes wear them and put all the light stuff in your baggage, you can take your coat off once on the plane.

You've got to remember ema, when flying Ryanair, not to get on one of their planes with outside toilets, its bloody cold at this time of year

No, went for 2 weeks Sparkologist, my friends tend to eat out most nights so had to take the outfits ... plus 'D SHOES' !!

Actually, Monarch are 20 in hold, 5 on board, so no different to Ryanair really are they. 15 hold; 10 on board. Think maybe Ryanair do this 'cause most flights are to Ireland, mainly business trips and allows you to take luggage with you and not bother with baggage reclaim, etc. I have always done this with internal flights.

Neil: Never take Bacardi with me .. cheaper in Spain..

I guess you'd be on you knees... begging for a sniff from your neighbours mask.

Failing that, you'd be on your knees anyway, with hypoxia.

Best advice is get down on your knees and pray. That way you've got a head start on your fellow travellers.

I remember Laura, the 2nd time she flew (1st time she was only 12 months old, on her mum's knee and not really aware of it). She was nearly 2, the 2nd time, and very excited. As we went down the runway, building up speed, she sat wide-eyed saying, "Co-o-o-or", and as we took off she shouted out, "We're flying.......in der sky", much to the amusement of other passengers near us.

5 Euro's piece kate, I'd be totally knacker, just carrying the bag of Euro's on the plane in the first place just in case
