Fiacre Banks @judyev They do look tiny but pretty. No toilet would be a problem. No way would my wife wander out in the dark to use it, but use it she’d have to so this would be problematic.

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (81) • United States 3 Oct

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I’m always worried about getting that wrong. It’s so complicated, and purposefully so - baffling. With Aer Lingus now I can take a small bag on board if it fits under the seat in front and can check a 10 kg cabin bag in the hold for free. This is...
