I wanted to share something new to me in all my years of travel. Luton airport offers you to pre book security for free up to 4 days before you travel on their website. Basically you get a half an hour timeslot for arrivals between 3am and 3pm.

Basically you follow the signs for Pre booked security. It’s on a first come, first served basis. This saves pre paying to do it.

Holiday destinations such as Barcelona, Malta, Tenerife, Larnaca, Corfu and Ibiza are on the list. I have noticed some destinations not on the list such as Malaga.

Anyway if you’re flying from Luton I would pop it in your calendar maybe 5 days before to start watching. I am not sure if it’s available for weekends as I checked this weekend and no slots coming up. Yet it’s worth trying it to make you have a shorter queue time at the airport.

Happy travelling!

Prebook Security is a free service that allows you to skip the security queues by reserving a 30-minute slot ahead of your arrival.

As per my previous post, this starts from today at 10 so you can join the queue now if you want to try for tickets for the next week.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to go to see Romeo and Juliet in London. My daughter was very excited to see Sadie Sink playing Juliet as a big fan of Stranger Things.
It was lovely to see lots of younger members in the audience who you could tell had gone to see her.

The theatre was a nice smaller one and we had seats in the stalls. The show was sold out.

I will tell you a trick they do an event each week called Pay what you can lottery. At 10am every Wednesday they release 30 seats for each performance the following week.

I tried the week before knowing Easter holidays was coming up and I was 2000 in the queue therefore unsuccessful. Yet the week after I joined the queue just 5 mins before it started and was 100th in the queue so I thought oh I may have a chance. I was very lucky and got through. Naively I just selected the performance I could do and the highest price of £30 each. In fairness I thought that was a great price for stall tickets and then I won them! I was very happy.

So if you know you maybe able to go the following week then definitely enter the lottery and try.

Just a reminder to pre book your excursions before you go away. I find this company works for me as it’s very easy on an app
I can do some which are for cruises if I put collection at a cruise port, or normal Florida tickets etc. It just has been a company I have been happy using on my excursions.
