Great when that happens isn’t it. Our recent flight back to Bristol from Thessaloniki seemed pretty much full, however the two seats next to me in the extra legroom row were both empty, so I could effectively lie across all three for the trip. Far more comfortable

Re: The Holiday thread
Planning a theater day in London. Just scored tickets to see a matinee performance of Bill Bailey's one-man show followed by an evening performance of The Lives of Others starring Keira Knightley, Stephen Dillane, and Luke Thompson.
Can't wait.
Are there any decent restaurants in the West End where I can get dinner between shows?

Like every city most city centre restaurants are overpriced tourist traps, go a few streets back and do a bit of research before you go.
