MEXICO TRAVEL DAY / BA GATWICK TO CANCUN / SOUTH TERMIMAL NO1 LOUNGE / PLAYA DEL CARMEN

Its travel day and the start of our Mexico holiday vlog series .

[@YvonneBowles-b2s]

Great Vlog. I take my hat off to you guys. It takes me all my time to get up and get myself together for an early, long haul flight never mind get a lot of camera gear out and do videos!!! Your both amazing.. I look forward to following your travels.

[@steveandcarole]

Thank you for your lovely message. Its becoming second nature now, camera equipment gets priority 😂 we appreciate you watching us and also taking time to comment. xx

[@richardcorke8880]

70 quid each seat selection!? Ouch! I'll ask what everyone wants to know... Did you ever get your cardi back, Carole? x 😢

[@steveandcarole]

Noooo cardigan gone forever. On the plus side Richard, got to get a new one now. . So a win win for me but not for Steve lol x

[@doodles3075]

The earphones you bought at the airport, did they not work in the tv?

[@steveandcarole]

The earphones we bought at airport do work on the TV and are very good quality, but they were in overhead cabin. However the earbuds on plane are also adequate. .

[@doodles3075]

@steveandcarole thank you. Is it just a single jack plug? So glad you stopped and showed the seats and the 4 in the middle by the exit door as those are the ones we managed to book😁. You can't see on the seat map how much legroom there is. The prices for BA for prebooking seats is ridiculous. On a lot of the other companies, it's from £4 to pre book

[@petergales6352]

Yous 2 have something in common we love travelling

[@steveandcarole]

Travelling keeps helps us to keep young in mind and making memories on the way. Thank you for your message. x

[@johng1943]

Carole’s cardigan has probably been blown up by the bomb squad!

[@steveandcarole]

That's OK with me Johng. Glad it had a good send off. 😂

[@simonford5819]

Have a fab time! I'm sure the 10.5 hr flight will be worth it, look forward to further vlogs, yours are really interesting, and I love your restaurant reviews, keep up the good work. Wondering why the crew were spraying the cabin with disinfectant?? xx

[@steveandcarole]

Hi Simon. Not absolutely sure but think it is customery when landing in Mexico. Been in Mexico 3 days now and we are loving it. Thank you for your message. More vlogs coming soon. x

[@steveb1086]

Never been to Mexico , have heard mixed reviews, am sure it's lovely so looking forward to the vlogs. The food on BA (I have written to them and suggested they seriously update that cous cous, bean salad thing lol) can be hit a miss. MCO route is always pretty grim so we take some snacks for us. Those seats are amazing really don't like the pricetag but to sit together there is perfect. Hope u get ur cardigan back ...

[@steveandcarole]

Morning Steve, Well done you writing to BA. I don't mind the bean salad although my digestive system doesn't like it. It's not to Steve's palate. We will be summing up Mexico in our vlogs. Having a nice time so far. Weather here is 33 degrees. x

[@Nzwarriord]

Very bad experience today was on tarmac with ba for 3 hours to vancouver travelling on a scrap heap Boeing 777 200 over 30 years old the airport is second worse to Manchester

[@steveandcarole]

Sorry to hear of your experience with BA. We have done a good few flights with them now and have had always had good experiences. Enjoy your holiday.

[@Nzwarriord]

@steveandcarole it was was my wife and young kid I refuse to fly long haul since the mighty 747s went out of service there flight was delayed for 3 hours

[@jolene54]

Your vlog popped up as recommended viewing on my KZbin. I'm so glad it did. What a lovely couple. As an American from the Midwest, I think I can say your BA flight looked great compared to the airlines we have in the U.S. Unfortunately, Americans are accepting of everything subpar in my opinion. Look forward to viewing your vlogs from Mexico.

[@steveandcarole]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We always believed Americas get the best out of your airlines as in the past Delta was our airline of choice. We like Ba because it uses the 777 which means we get the 2 seats by the window at the back of the plane to ourselves. Thank you for following along with us

[@leewainwright3526]

Over 10 hours in 2024 they need to make planes faster

[@steveandcarole]

Faster planes would be a thumbs up from us. Lol

[@doodles3075]

Can you order anything separately in the lounge? Or is it just what's on the hotplates? Can i ask what day and time of day this is

[@steveandcarole]

The food in the lounge is what's on counter. they have good selection. Didn't see any options to order different menu. We traveled on a Tuesday, we were in lounge at approximately 11 am

[@doodles3075]

@steveandcarole thank you. I was looking for a lounge but wanted to see if it was worth it on how busy and the food. Compared to the food prices outside in the airport. That's not bad for 11am!

[@nicholassudworth3738]

Went to cancun for my honeymoon loved it and the sea was like a warm bath, enjoy your holidays I shall be watching,.

[@steveandcarole]

Thank you Nicholas we are having a blast. The sea temperature is wonderful. We appreciate you watching us. xx

[@lynmcnorton9627]

It seems very noisy where you are sitting

[@steveandcarole]

Can't say we found it too noisy. Maybe the microphone picked it up more so.

[@RandomLifeProductions]

It’s very hit and miss that lounge…. Breakfasts are the best

[@steveandcarole]

We enjoyed it. Even though I left my cardigan there. ☹️ Thank you for your comment. x

[@RandomLifeProductions]

@@steveandcarole The best lounge I think is the one at Malta airport foods not so good but the view from, the outside patio top notch

[@steveandcarole]

Never been to Malta. We have noted your comment if we do go. x

[@RandomLifeProductions]

@@steveandcarole it’s fewer, there is also an observation deck on the ground floor before departures

[@steveandcarole]

👍

[@Watfordfc2030]

Great video and we agree about the lounge at gatwick , when we flew to Dubai it was average at best if honest . Thought the Barman took a bit of pride in his job and served you up lovely Bloody Mary’s , harrods would have been my downfall with Margaret as she just loves to spend . Really enjoyed the flight review and it looked pretty decent even if the staff were not fully on there game , thanks again superb

[@steveandcarole]

If our paths cross at an airport me and Margaret need to shop till we drop. 😂. You and steve will be 😭

[@Watfordfc2030]

@@steveandcarole I forgot to say , I always used to say to Margaret this duty free is a waste of time it’s cheaper in Tesco . Well about a year ago I was told duty free isn’t for us it’s for people leaving the U.K. to return home or holiday makers returning and bringing goodies home as part of there trip like I guess we do on our return home . It made perfect sense but unfortunately it’s taking to me to get to 50 plus to know this lol

[@steveandcarole]

@Watfordfc2030 We grow older and wiser, as the say. x

[@philcampbell7728]

enjoy guys x

[@steveandcarole]

Thanks Phil
