Club World Flight

Barbados from the Air (South coast)

Well how excited was I (more than a child waiting for Santa I think!). Myself and Jaclyn were travelling out to St Vincent with the SVG Tourist Board, Harlequin Hotels & Resorts and British Airways. We arrived at Gatwick and stayed overnight in the Sofitel which meant that as we were on terminal we could have a little bit of a lie in (it’s possible to walk into the north terminal without having to go outside, so we were at the check in desk 10 minutes after leaving our room). We got up around 7.30 and met with the group and checked in. We were lucky enough to be travelling British Airways in Club World to Barbados.

Neither I nor Jaclyn had flown Club World before, although both of us have walked past these seats often enough on our way to economy! We were able to use the Clubworld lounge where we rubbed shoulders with Nigel Mansell. Upon boarding, our flat bed seats were just amazing and we couldn’t stop laughing at each other whilst choosing our meal from an extensive menu and of course our Kir Royale champagne cocktails! A few cocktails and a nice meal later it was time to settle down and watch a film or two. To be honest, for once, the flight was over too soon.

At Barbados we passed the time at the bar before the 25 minute flight to St. Vincent. Buccament Bay was around half an hour by road and we were greeted by the management team and a cool drink. continue reading…

Travelling with Virgin, so checked in on-line the day before the flight which also meant that I got to pick the seats, it felt good knowing I had printed off our boarding passes, another task done, so excited now going on holiday with the family in less than 24 hours…..

I went last year to Barbados with the tourist board got to look round lots of different hotels which made picking where to go for my holiday nice and easy 2 adults and 1 child age 16 (name’s Summer). We were going to the Almond Beach Village; I liked the feel of this hotel when I visited it with the Tourist Board last year.

On the 4th November 2009, I took a short domestic flight from Manchester airport to London Gatwick, I was very nervous but looking forward to what the next 5 days had in store!

After checking in I met with the other travel agents. The flight with Virgin Atlantic lasted approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes but it flew by as I enjoyed watching the latest films on demand. Before I knew it we had arrived in beautiful Barbados! This was my first time to the island. continue reading…

Having arrived at London Gatwick in the very early hours of the morning and meeting my travel companions, I was ecstatic to find out that I had been upgraded to “club class”  When we had boarded the aeroplane we were shown to our seats and greeted with glass of champagne.

The next 8 hours 35minutes flew by. The staff and service, not to mention the extra space on the aircraft were second to none and I would definitely recommend an upgrade.

Arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados the weather could not have been more perfect. We travelled 35minutes by coach to the Tamarind Cove situated on the west coast.  The Tamarind Cove has an inviting Caribbean charm as soon as you enter and the pristine beach with crystal clear waters was to die for. continue reading…

We checked in at Gatwick’s North Terminal for our flight to Barbados. Needless to say, I was excited at having been upgraded to British Airways’ Club World. My Club World experience started smoothly, no check-in queues, cases tagged and dispatched within minutes and then directed to the executive lounge to relax before the flight. continue reading…
