Sorry couldnt resist,just logged on the my booking and seen the 12 day countdown lol, never even been in PE before so looking forward to it. Were off to Boston on the 18th woohoo. Thanks for all the tips on here, its gave me a good idea of how to get the most out of my trip.

:D

Just one question do connecting flights usualy get changed about, my Belfast - London has changed at least 5 times over the last 6 months. Its with BMI and always changed by about an hour or so. last change was a few days ago

I love logging onto my bookings and to the countdown go down! Maybe do it a bit too often...

I remember my first time in Upper, was great :-) Just its caused a problem of it being hard to go down the back after... (tho was my first time long haul as well so not had the experience of Econ or PE for longer than a couple of hours)

just about 4 days left for my next flight. EXCITED!

Have a fab time in Boston.

With regard to your BMI flight, they do seem to be shifting their schedules about a fair bit. I know that some V-Flyers have mentioned this recently and some have had to change to BA for their connecting flights.

My tip would be to try and do the Belfast leg with hand luggage. I can get from door to Clubhouse in less than 20mins going landside and avoiding "Flight Connections". Best to maximise your first clubhouse experience.

We love Boston; not too big or too small, relatively close, good food, good shopping. We prefer Boston to NYC for the east coast shopping trips. Get down to Quincy Market for a cheap lunch - best food court style eatery I've been to. Plus there's an Abercrombie there now - just make sure you shop before eating; A and F isn't great after a massive lunch!

Boston is a lovely city - the GasLamp district is very pretty, the Metro is easy to use, and there's very cheap eats to be had at a place called The Pour House. There's a waitress there who always says "You Gat IT!" after every request. Which is mildly grating but endearing at the same time.

Thanks all and thanks for the recomdations for thinhs to do in boston, I have my Lonely Planet guide at the ready lol.

Looking forward to the club house, I have a 4 hour connection time so should get a bite to eat. At one stage I had as little as 2 hours and as much as 6 with all the flight changes. But hopefuly 4 will give me a good experience of it.

7 and a bit days now :D

Just left Boston this morning, to head back to NYC to get the VS10 home.

It has turned a bit cold and wet there this week... just to warn you!
