Hi all,

Very useful Roger, thank you.

I use the Thomas Cook from Manchester. They ask you to vacate the aircraft with your hand luggage in Barbados on the return trip ... so you could lose liquids when you get into the airport and you need Barbados ickyspondoolees if you need refreshments in the airport.

Thomas Cook are also favoured because you can book your flights 12 months in advance.

I get a kind of perverse pleasure in booking my next holiday while I am in Tobago :mrgreen:

Regards

Do they vacate the aircraft in Barbados to enable the cleaners to do their job?
