Please be assured that a sensible answer from one of our representatives will be along in a moment. The initial reply was from an individual completely addled by chardonnay, rum and caribbean sunshine and curmudgeonly in outlook just because his holiday is coming to an end.

Ahhh, the Kids Bags, It is worth the loss of the copious flying club miles, just to see the glow of anticipation and delight as mini NH opens up yet another red satchel and dons the quality baseball cap (taking care not to push her hand through the fabric) B) and looks blankly at some of the content inside, which has been tailored to the very broad 3-15 year old level ?|
Apparently a watch? maybe we missed that last year. v( .Bearing in mind, these "kids packs" are always on MCO flights, Don't think they exist on other routes, or we've just be unlucky? Although I stand to be corrected.

I'll correct you - they are available from the ground staff at the boarding gate on ALL flights from LHR, LGW and MAN. There was a short period when there was a stock issue so none were seen for a few weeks but they are available again now.

Curmudgeonly. Rolls on the tongue rather like the pleasant glass of Chardonnay I'm currently sipping. Also, a very accurate word to describe my mood right now. Ah well...

Of note, we were offered nowt more than the standard 'shoe bag' when we flew out here UC the other week.

How big is the gold bar?? I assume it his n hers watches - or is it metal vs leather strap depending on outfit? out of all of this mind :? , the shoe bag sounds like the deal clincher!

Curiously the shoe bag has proved immensely useful in the past few months for holding shoes. Way more stylish than the Tesco carrier that used to accompany my travels.

Last time I travelled VS was October, and to the best of my recollection we got the following in the economy bag:

Eye shade
Pen
Socks
Tooth brush
Very small tube of toothpaste

Don't think I have left anything out, but some of the more recent travellers will, I'm sure, point out if I have.

Its funny because i have loads of shoe bags and really like them too as its a far nicer way to pack all mine and the missus shoes when travelling. Also always whilst on holiday the toothpaste comes in handy too.

Out of interest, as VS had taken it upon itself (and responded as much) to make the decision that we'd rather have the Kids pack than the Flying Miles for that bought seat. v(

Did Tizer actually get offered one ?|
