On our last holiday we were flying with Delta - read some terrible reviews - well most of them were terrible to be honest.
I was dreading it - but we had no problems with the seats and the flights were on time.
Don't fret too much Gerty all will probably be fine  :)

Hi Gertie,
             Me and the wife have been there a.few years ago.I have never heard of that hotel but the best thing to do is to look on Trip Advisor.We stayed at The Blue Bay Palace but I think it has changed its name.
             Correlejo is only a small place but has plenty of the usual shops but beware because when we there the shop staff badgered you  to try and get a sale.The beach is not very big but was very clean.
             Whilst we were there we went on the blanket trip where you have to sit through a presentation trying to sell mattresses.We had no intention of buying but they did take us on a free bus tour of the northern part of the island so we thought it was worth it.If you want to anything else let me know and I will try to help.
              Just got back from Torremolinos and had a brilliant time-the weather was round about 90 all week and never saw a cloud.We have been going with Jet2 for the last three years and cannot fault them.

Thanks for all your advice and comments.  They are really helpful.  Mattresses you say?  Good lord, how would you get one of those home????   :-?

I'm going to stop faffing about and book it this weekend  ;D

My sister in law bought one many years ago and the quality was excellent.If I remember correctly they were manufactured in the UK or there was agent here who stocked them  can't really be sure which it was.I am sure you will enjoy it I know we did.

Right, I've stopped faffing about - I booked it.  Fuertaventura here I come in a few weeks  8)

Good deal on Travel Republic, but regrettably it's Ryanair.  I guess there has to be a trade off, though I'm given to understand that their seats are now pre-bookable.  I'll be taking advantage of that for the leg room.  My great long things won't fit normal aircraft seat space, unless I want compressed knee-caps after 4 hours.  I bet Fly has the same problem!

I'm usually Ok as long as the person in front doesn't recline their seat.
I missed the 'book your seat' by one day this time and didn't get the back row seats we usually book.
So I booked row 14 in the middle of the plane. There's no one directly behind us, there's a door LOL

Will do Pam.  I hope to have plenty as I'm taking the big camera this time.  Might be naffing Mr Gert off with moaning that I can't find the lens cap, or the battery is flat  8)

I've got 3 sets of 4 x high power NiMh AA's, and 2 chargers ready for the hols Gerty.
New camera, Ibiza, bring it on.
Can I just add, this is an extra holiday this year due to the fact me and Our_Lass have gone smoke free for over 2 YEARS !!

Roll on Saturday  (y)

I've flown Ryanair 3 times and never had a problem. Their major plus is they are very rarely delayed. If the plane is on the ground it's not earning money. If you want to talk about an airline staffed by a bunch of idiots try flying Continental!!!

LOL, oh dear.  Well, my fingers are crossed for a trouble-free Ryanair experience.  At least I have extra leg room seats booked.  Can't be doing with squashed knee caps!  8)
