Southend airport

[TrueBlue]

Southend airport announcing yet ANOTHER route, by my count that takes it up to 8 destinations from only 2 last year

Paris
Faro
Malaga
Mallorca
Amsterdam
Geneva
Bulgaria
And now Alicante

I’m liking how they got a young Elton John to promote it

Now if only we had a football club moving in the same direction skies the limit (pun intended)

Fly out in two weeks to Malaga from Southend, nice and easy journey on train

Yes I am flying to Malaga in September for a mates wedding, flying business from Gatwick though as I will feel more relaxed with a bit more space on the plane

Great news. Maybe get some earlier flights back now.

Got the red eye to Palma last night and it's great to see the main bar open again.

 

[PIERS]

Great news for decent local jobs as well

Do not like booking trips until the fixtures are out usually although took no chances and booked a trip to Pisa early June next year and win win told the wife it was to be there for our wedding anniversary.

Seem to recall stoping to see the tower on the trip away for the Fiorentina game.

Pisa is the gateway to the the whole of the tuscany region. Highly recommended if you're planning to explore central Italy as the train system is excellent for getting around and exploring.
