Hope you enjoy your reunion with your family.

Oooh thanks Smarting Buttocks. I'll have a read of that!

Hi Jen x

Luggage allowance, check your airline website (although the allowance should be printed on your ticket or will be in the information that comes with the ticket) Depending on the length of your stay depends on the allowance but they're usually quite generous.

Jabs and medication queries - check with the nurse at your GP surgery (they should be able to answer the paperwork question as well - if not, your agent should be able to)

Restrictions on what you can take on the flight (toiletries) - should be on the BAA website, or ask the agents you booked the flight with for confirmation. (As the airports are on a higher level alert cos of Osama kicking the bucket it might have changed again)

Might be worth double checking your travel insurance if it includes medical cover (i.e. if you need to have medical treatment over there) some insurances cover you immediately, with others, you have to pay for the treatment and claim it back.

I would imagine you'll have a 2 or 3 hour check in period - always try and get through passport control and security as soon as you can, because as above, it's probably a lot more stringent and you don't want to risk missing your flight. x

Hi Karma! x Hope you are ok. Lots of helpful info there!  Thanks!

Thanks Sweet Summer! But it won't be until either Oct/Nov or at the worst May next year! Haven't booked anything yet... just warned my brother I'm coming! I must admit, I'm honestly don't know where to start sorting it out. Well, I've got my passport sorted, I've got the funds, but that's it!

oooooohhh bermuda....... hope you have a lovely time... i`m jealous tho

You should be able to get most of the generalised info you need by googling. See what airlines fly to where you want to go and who does 'flight only' trips. Then you could look more specifically at each to compare facilities, prices, luggage allowances etc. or maybe a comparison site might do it.

Thanks fluffy. Now see, I hadn't even thought of flights only! Last time I flew it was with my husband, and he dealt with it all. I'm going to figure it all out though!

All the advice was great jenny.  Hope you have a mega fab time!

No worries doll! xx  Expedia are quite a good site for flight only and (usually) find the cheapest option, beware of how many connections you may have to make though. Another thing you could do is next time you're in town, pop into the travel agents and just ask for a rough guide on how much return flights are to Bermuda, if you can fly from your nearest airport (you may need to go from another one), and also the best and most convenient route. They may try selling you one there and then but if you explain it's for info only at this stage as you're not travelling for ages yet then hopefully they won't badger you to book on the spot.

Re flight costs, current climate can have an effect on prices so keep an eye on what's going on in the world Am away again now but if you need a hand I'm sure people on here will be more than happy to help (Zaph's good at this stuff, too) and feel free to PM me if you need to as well. Catch you later, D xxx

Hope you don't get affected by the bloomin volcano dust Jenny.!!

If you can, turn left when you get on the plane 

Ok!

I better not sparkles! I'd be gutted!

Thanks for the further info Karma! I'm going to visit my daughter in Salford soon, so as soon as I get back I shall be getting stuck in, following all these tips and advice!

Thanks to everyone for the help. I CAN do it!

Not to worry Jen.    By the time you go, it will have blown over.... when you going?

I'm hoping it will be Oct or Nov this year, but failing that May next year. So plenty of time for this one to have blown itself out!

Oh it will have gone by the end of June I expect Jenny
