Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm heading from my home of Basingstoke to the Sheraton Hotel London Heathrow Terminal 5 before taking a flight with British Airways to Basel, Switzerland and then joining the brand new TUI Aria river cruise and heading up through Germany and into the Netherlands.
So, actually, for just under 25 pounds each, we've managed to have ourselves dinner and as many drinks as we want.
One thing that wasn't made very clear to me at all is that when you arrive here at Terminal 5, you actually need to check in at the group travel desk.
I had no idea this airport is officially in France. Got Germany over there. Switzerland up ahead. It's all happening.
