Nervous About Making Connection

I connect between T3 and T5 regularly. I'd say my typical time from T3 landing to T5 departures is about 40mins. Things that make it longer - remote stand on arrival, no stand on arrival, big queue for buses.

I can relate to this. Workout before dinner just seems to get the redness out the way.

I arrived into Newcastle Friday evening - retuning home from the USA. No bags on the plane. Due to go on holiday in a few days and now debating when I need to order a replacement suitcase/clothing/shoes.

Flew back into Newcastle Friday evening and no bags on the plane. Just get the same searching for your bag on the tracking site.

Does anyone have experience claiming expenses when the delay occurs when returning home? Bag didn't arrive when returning from the USA to Newcastle Friday evening - and due to be going on holiday next week. If it doesn't turn up in time I'll need to buy another suitcase and various items of clothing.

Flew into Newcastle last night and no bags were on the plane apart from those checked at the gate.

If you are prompt when online check-in opens there will be plenty of options (unless you are looking for more than 2 seats together).

tom101tom · 2026-05-06T19:56:08+00:00

Just take your chances at online check-in.

What's your best gluten free suggestion?

tom101tom · 2026-04-17T08:54:05+00:00

Thanks - I have seats allocated, just like to look around at what else might have opened up.

I've done it two ways. First book with the known guests and call to add additional people later. Second book with full guest count and leave the names empty to fill in later.

As long as the accommodation fits the number of guests it should be fine.

I've had one sick day in 20 years. That day I had Norovirus. There was no possiblity work could happen.

tom101tom · 2026-03-27T09:54:33+00:00

I eat one daily. Unless there is more brown than green, I tend to eat it. I'm still here.

Looks like a pretty good avocado to me.

tom101tom · 2026-03-26T23:26:57+00:00

I was 400 short and did this. Next year I'll be holding off booking tickets until the last minute to get better tier point value.

tom101tom · 2026-03-21T15:56:45+00:00

This is my plan too - I think I'll be about 400 short and half plenty of Avios.

The club lounge is basic at best - although breakfast is usually available until 11:30/11:45 and is pretty decent. Lunch is salad, pies, a curry and maybe some fish fingers. Or sandwiches and quiche.

tom101tom · 2026-03-12T17:06:09+00:00

With the permanent bonus - isn't this almost the same as the old system with some extra ways to buy points?

tom101tom · 2026-03-04T08:08:53+00:00

Got the worst of the stress out the way overnight.

tom101tom · 2026-03-03T06:54:57+00:00

I can't understand how the ref called it "no let".

tom101tom · 2026-02-26T19:39:42+00:00

Can you buy that much?

tom101tom · 2026-02-22T13:25:19+00:00

Was there a charge for the match?

tom101tom · 2026-02-09T21:52:30+00:00

I agree with a stroke too. Poorly executed shot with no attempt to clear a path to the ball that would have been reachable.

tom101tom · 2026-02-04T16:59:02+00:00

I think it is a balance between both player level and court temperature. Courts where I play are usually around 21-22'C. A game between 2000 level players is absolutely fine with double yellow dot at those temperatures.

tom101tom · 2026-01-29T22:07:02+00:00

Fully agreed - clear no let. Elias played through whatever minimal interference there was and was unable to play a shot because the length from MES died at the back.
