Taken October 2005 from Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands - PMI to Manchester, England (Ringway International Airport) - MAN

MYT 192 - Palma (PMI) - Manchester (MAN)

Date = 8 Oct 05

Plane = B757-200 (G-RJGR)

To see the going review, read Air Italy (Man-PMI).

OK, we were at the hotel, baking in the sun. We were told we would be picked up at 3pm for our 6.30pm flight. The coach came at about 3.20pm and we went to other hotels one hour drive time from (Alcudia to the airport), during which the coach driver nearly killed us twice by getting inches behind a Megane.

We got the airport to see four check-in desks packed out to the max. We were there 20-30 minutes before we got to the front and put our bag's on.

All checked in, so we went for something to eat, then went to the plane. It's the first time out of five other times I've been on a MyTravel plane which was orange. I was a little happy about that part, but unhappy to know why G-RJGR couldn't take me on holiday 2 weeks before (it had engine problem's over europe), so that was running through my mind.

We boarded and the nice MyTravel crew smiled and pointed to my seat (at the back). We sat down and at 6.30 we took off. Nice and fast - it was so fast it didn't take long for the seatbelt signs to be turned off.

The safety thing at the start of the flight was in english this time, and by video, which saves some woman's or man's voice. We got halfway through the video and the pilot started the engines, and everything wemt off, and then back on. But they did pause it and then unpause it when the power was back on.

We were flying home nice and easy. We were told it wouldn't be a bumpy ride. But it was when we got over England, only because of rain clouds and it was shaking a lot, but no seatbelt signs, which was a little weird.

The pilot told us at 7.30 we were making our descent and told everyone to sit down, At 7.45 the pilot told the staff to sit down, the lights went out, and we were coming down, down, down. At 7.55 we landed nice and easy. Very hard on the floor, but still I think MyTravel is the number one charter firm.

If you think of another Engish charter company that's better than MyTravel, e-mail me at Bad_Slim_2003@hotmail.com
