Holidays 2022

[Cariad]

i've just booked Edinburgh in December for my bf's 30th - he's always wanted to go, we'll be there the week leading up to Christmas so i can only imagine how beautiful it'll be! I told him he has 6 months of me playing bagpipe videos on youtube and repeating everything i say in a Scottish accent

Edinburgh at Christmas is lovely, we love going for Christmas shopping - for the atmosphere and loads of wonderful places to eat ( it's my husband's birthday just before Christmas too, so we usually book a fab place to eat)
the Christmas markets are definitely worth a visit too

Has anyone been to Spain, specifically Barcelona recently? Just wondering how much mask wearing is still a thing over there?

I live in Spain, you now only need to wear them on public transport, in pharmacies and doctors hospitals etc

Has anyone flown with Tui recently and can advise on online check in for return flights?

Check in used to open 14 days before for outbound and inbound. But they have recently changed it to 48 hours before.

Checked in this morning for my Wednesday morning flight and got my outbound boarding passes but no option for inbound check in. It doesn't say when inbound check in will open. It just says check in complete!

Alcudia beach is like the main beach in that town and it's long, lots of hotels have bits attached to it. The Port is probably where you'll find more bars etc, either way it's beautiful. There are a lot more beaches and 'calas' in the area nicer than that beach!

I’m guessing it will be 48 hours before your inbound flight?

Yeh that's what I'm thinking too but it is odd. It just says check in complete. Not that it will open on 27th June.

Also means we can't take a paper copy of the boarding pass, which I like to do just in case technology fails on the day!

I’m going to Switzerland next month for 5 nights. I have booked an Airbnb apartment.
The apartment was expensive - if the airline cancels the flights out from Bristol apart from standard holiday insurance is that enough or do I need more ? Say the flight doesn’t take off and they put us on the next one we would miss the first night as it’s the last of the day ?
Any thoughts appreciated!

I'm not sure what else you can do really other than have travel insurance for this situation. Other than if your rate is refundable and if your flight is cancelled with enough time you might not need to worry at all?
