Travel days are my favourite type of videos
:-)
Was lovely to meet you Tim me Mike and vinnie were over the moon to bump into you outside the sol pelicanos thank you so much for stopping to chat made our whole holiday. Say hi to gabby and casper for us!
Hey Becks great to meet you too .. 😊
6.06 - Wayne Fisher was an Easy steward who passed away in 2017 .
Always go for the early morning flights - less chance of delay! + If your on a package your return flight is early! You really can't beat Jet2!
depends where u go i usually go Canary Islands with Jet2 but the returnn is 90% of the time 10pm or later
Agreed, jet2 take some beating, they are brilliant 👍🏻
Yet I was delayed lol
Tim, I love your travel day videos. The airport is my happy place. It's where the holiday starts.
I stayed in the exact same hotel many times, and always loved it. The corner rooms were always the best.
Can't wait to see more of Benidorm. Another place to consider visiting. The hotel is quite nice. It appears to have everything you need in your clean room. Can't wait to see Bernidorm.
Hi, Tim! I’m from Spain just outside of Benidorm, I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Just a heads up, blue parking means you have to pay from 8am to 21:30 (Summer hours). After 21:30 it’s free and Sundays are free all day. It changes in the winter but I can’t remember.
Always enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks for the tips!
What a view! Really looking forward to this series, the live was great 👍
We stayed at Hotel Helios last year Tim the rooms were very pleasant and a decent nights sleep, the breakfast next morning was your normal standard buffet style, with lots and lots of selection. Really enjoy watching all of your interesting videos, including with your wife and baby son.
Thanks for recommending this video, when I stopped to speak to you and Gaby, in Norwich today. (Somehow I had missed it.) Also, thank you both, for being so friendly and gracious with your time. As a regular viewer since your first video, it has been great to see your progress from that walk around Hemsby, in 2020, to such a well presented travel channel. Luton Airport looks so modern, with that automated rail connection and the current terminal building, as I remember it, as you said, when it was just a small building and a car park! As always, a high quality video, packed with helpful facts, and some lovely views, from the flight, and of Benidorm. Now going to watch your latest video, from your stay at Alton Towers. 🤩
Hey Tim, love your videos, especially the airport ones, I have learned so much & gained so much info just watching! Keep inspiring us to travel more! 👍👌👏
I was very surprised to see the Zante shipwreck photo on the wall of a Benidorm hotel - recognised it straight away especially as I've been right next to it on that beach. You can only get to it by boat, though you can visit the overlook above which we did on an off-road safari tour. I loved Zante, though it was a trip booked 3 weeks prior to our departure following the collapse of our long-time planned trip to Spain in the madness of 2020. There's so many wonderful things to do on the island, and Zante Town itself is well worth an explore.
Yep that was odd
@@WalkWithMeTim I just thought - isn't the name of the accommodation Hotel Helios? Helios is a Greek word meaning Sun, and is the god of the Sun in ancient Greece. Which may be why the hotel has some Greek theming like the Zante shipwreck picture. Though they haven't gone all in and had the traditional Greek tiling
I dread the airport being busy.. You're right, it seems to be worse early morning and people are frustrated and ruder.. 🤷🏻♀️ Always enjoy taking a trip with you, Tim.. Loved this vlog ✈👍
Thanks for the insight into the new dart system. Flying into Luton in July. Looking forward to using this, it's a real game changer for the airport. Using the link bus was a nightmare. Your right about early morning flights, airports are crammed, no seats and less options for breakfast.
Tim, since I started watching your videos, I've been catching myself saying, 'wow, that's random' at least twice a day! 😃 Wish we could catch a train to All airports, so much less hassle.
That is awesome!
Hiya Tim, all back to front in watching. Loving these videos. Happy Sunday
Always love watching your videos, proper indulges me to want to travel more
Room looks nice and clean,not a bad view,love Balcony,
Thanks Tim, we’re flying from Luton soon so it was good to see how easy it was ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video Tim as always 👏🏻👏🏻 the travel videos are really good and show what’s involved in getting to you main destination. Keep the coming 😊🛫🏝️
thanks David
I'm doing this exact route next month. Cant wait to fly again
Great video again Mr Tindon. Always nice to watch 🙂
Lololo
Great video tim, we are here ourselves in three days,,cant wait. 👍
Hello Tim,food was expensive but when you need food and something to drink.Alicante looks so beautiful when the sun is out,the room has a nice setup with a view from the balcony.
Things have really changed at Luton Airport there wasn't much there in the 70's when we went to Alicante. The train from Luton looks great.
I went to zante years ago and got a boat trip to the shipwreck , stayed at hotel contessina in tsvilli, have never been to benidorm before your hotel room looked very nice x
Loved your travel day to Alicante video Tim excellent.Loved the Dart system for getting from the terminal to the gate.Shame no one helped you pick up your stuff,some people are so selfish.Thankyou ,excellent as usual.
Spanish olive oil is awesome taste like lemon
The Helios going back you could pay to use the pool.I used it many a time with my children in winter as they covered it.
Really enjoy your travel day videos Tim.
I know it’s out of the way but would be good to see your reviews from travelling from other UK airports (Manchester and Liverpool comparison would be really interesting!)
Keep up the good work
The Birmingham transit from the station to the airport is also driverless, takes about 1.5 mins but it's FREE! 😉
Thank you . Enjoy 😊
Aw we love an early morning flight! Gets you there and ready to enjoy your first afternoon plus i hate hanging about on the last day when you know your leaving! 😂 hope you enjoyed your trip! ☀️✈️
yes good point
Lovely room and hotel Tim,loved the shots through the plane window,thanks gor sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy your travel day vlogs, Tim. Thanks. ☺️
My pleasure!
Yesss Tim!
Love these vids!
Great video. Lovely hotel room, nice and spacious. It looks pretty new. Never been to Benidorm.
Love the pic on the wall of the shipwreck beach. Be good to see that video. Zante is lovely. It’s a pebble beach, so make sure you wear your shoes as the stones hurt so much.
Great vid as always mate..top class..👍❤️
Great travel vlog and footage tim
This is a great insight of what I might be experiencing next week. Sometimes it’s soooo smooth getting through there but looks like the big olde queues have started 😅!!
Absolutely love these videos the best kind!!!
Glad you like them!
Hi Tim ! Another great travel vlog. Hotel looked quite nice . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video love these type of videos
Glad you like them!
great video tim
Tim if you are off to Zante you just have to do the little road train ride from Alykanas called Trainaki especially if you are taking the family!
Tip when hiring a car. Instead of paying for enhanced insurance protection with the car hire company, buy a third party policy for a lot cheaper. You can buy an annual cover or cover for one trip. If you ever had an incident you would have to pay the excess to the car hire company but put a claim in on your policy to recoup the money afterwards.
Another great travel day vlog , not been to Luton airport or Benidorm for years .
Glad you enjoyed it dan
Looks really nice. Room looks good but boy was that high up.
Very true re early flights ✈️ East Mids was rammed last Tuesday at 04:30 Great watch 👍
It was a very good travel day blog today of you chilling out and relaxing waiting to boarding your plane from London luton airport to Alicante with Ryanair and then car hire driving down to benidorm tim
Glad you enjoyed it
I recommend going to the Benidorm festival in November. There is the big British fancy dress on the Thursday and there around 20k of brits all dressed up. Its always in the news. Its worth visiting nothing like it anywhere. 16th November it happens this year. I am staying in the RH Carfali which is always nice as you know
yes yes and yes i love the travel day videos to spain love it!!! keep up the good work and love from stockholm
Thank you! Will do!
Nice travel vlog. Love that train shuttle to the airport although I didn’t realise you had to pay. How rude of that individual who jumped past you in the queue when you dropped your bag. Hotel looked very smart and the bedroom clean and fully serviced. That balcony looked high and with you leaning over with your selfie stick and phone thank goodness you didn’t let go of it.
safety first lol yes I had something around my wrist too
Thanks Tim & enjoy 😎🏖️
Sorry im late with a comment Tim, was sat outside most of the day & had a late tea.
I wanted to save this til later so i could watch on the big screen.
The mini train taking you from part of Luton Airport seems so novel to me, & it seemed quite a long journey from one part to the other.
I guess its getting so busy in Airports in the summer Months!
This time last year i hadn't jouned your channel so I've never seen how packed Airports get in the summertime.
Love your soundtracks on all your travel all vlogs i have to say!
Always chilled vibes.
Hotel looks posh!
And the pool looks nice with the Palm Trees 🌴 all around.
The balcony was nice but those High Rise Buildings outside look like they've seen better days.
Bathroom so clean, small but compact i like the fact the Hairdryer is in the Bathroom instead of the Bedroom for convenience.
Room looks lovely & clean & a nice neutral decor.
And Wow you said there was a Nightclub in the Hotel aswell!
I've never heard of that!
No need for taxi after clubbing to find you back to your room!!
Maybe I should release an album lol
have fun at benidorm!
Nice one Tim 👍
Found my favourite travel channel. Hooraaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🏽
Yay! Thank you!
Nice hotel room. Like you say not too high up as to be scary. Benidorm looks really fun
For insurance if you travel regularly, we have an annual policy for car insurance excesses for £125 a year and it covers all rentals and drivers on the policies when hiring in any country
Love your travel day videos Tim! Just makes me want to go on holiday! Only 3 months until I do go on hols (not that I’m counting! 😂). Sorry to hear some people were so rude and unhelpful at the airport though!
I am going to Benidorm for 7 nights on July 23,staying at The Riviera. It will be my 9th visit and 8th different hotel. I only went to the Melia twice because it was covid times and I wanted somewhere with its own indoor pool as it was Christmas time both times I went and too cold for the outside pool. I have been looking at The Helios for Christmas 2023 as it has a heated outdoor pool.
We hired a red Fiat 500 from Birmingham Airport, great little cars & plenty of luggage space if you fold the back seats down! 👍
I love benidorm, thank you for doing these videos
Glad you like them!
Great work on the van 👏 hope you get the leak sorted out soon 😊👍
ha ha wrong video ?
@Walk With Me Tim sorry Tim I was Typing on tailors a float when it finished and went over to you but looks like a nice hotel in Spain looking forward to your next video 😆😅
Wanted to thankyou for these videos the've been helping me through a horrible breakup, and they remind me one day I might have a family to travel places with.
Been there myself, break ups are tough but u will get through the other side
@@WalkWithMeTim thanks man really nice you replied to me
I agree with paying extra for car hire insurance for peace of mind, enjoy your trip.
I stayed at Magic Aqua Rock Gardens in Benidorm, that was an experience.
Love this channel it is so good
thanks Joshua
love your travel day vidz
Thanks
Love how you still reply and heart to loads of comments even with your massive channel growth
Why shouldn't I lol
@@WalkWithMeTim yeah it's fantastic I notice channels I follow as they get bigger and bigger they engage less with the audience
Great vid tim
Thanks
Very useful video Tim👍
Glad you think so!
The DART shuttle is a game changer regarding Luton Airport despite the cost. It means you can park your car cheaply at a nearby railway station and get the train and shuttle to the airport and back in relative comfort compared to the old bus system for less than long term parking on short trips.
Also whatever redesigns they have done to the airport in the last few years or so has made it more pleasurable to get around, I'd pick it over Stansted or Gatwick anytime.
High end shops in airports due to tax deductible reasons making (in theory) prices slightly cheaper.
Great video Tim. I’m trying Club Europe on BA on Sunday to Istanbul, looking forward to it. Can’t wait for your Zakinthos video, Greece is my favourite place on earth. Enjoy Benidorm!
Mine too lol
Pukka video Tim as per usual, love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks 👍
Hanging us over the edge of the balcony, with the reflection in the glass of how far up you were, have me a serious bout of vertigo there, for a moment! Shows how good your camera is! Another good one, thanks Tim.
😁
The Spanish don't class that as high!
You make the best vlogs lol. I am hooked watching you 🤗
Thanks Susannah
I always enjoy the travel day videos😊
Glad you like them!
Hey! On some mastercard gold or above, car insurance on a hire car is included on the card if you pay with that card. Try look it up, what the terms are at your bank on the difference cards. Nice vlog like always.
Thanks Tim, I don't even have a passport-you do the travel so I don't have to-warm and sunny here in Lowestoft today xxx Hope you have/had a good time!
Lovely, I'd be very happy there. Spain simply rocks🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good job you had the extra insurance , you were mighty close the kerb with those rims 😂 . Loving the videos ❤
Great video. I travel to Benidorm 2 weeks today.
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice one, Tim 👍
Thanks 👍
Hi , Tim! Was watching your video and realised I sat in the exact same spot as you (next to Pret) . I had a flight to Palma De Mallorca 😊
A capper tea Tim ( love it)😊
Safe jurny Tim will watch the video , enjoy your time 😊
Thanks 👍
Yay! An Orona lift! 😃 That makes sense as you’re in Spain. They’re much nicer than the ones we get delivered here in UK to instal 😄 they keep the posh ones for themselves 😄😊🥳 From Bmth 😎
I did the same trip last thur, flight to alicante, car hire and drive to my place near el campello. For all on here a good car hire company is EDI car hire, no big deposits taken from your card, no hidden extras just a really good service with no hassle
Agree
@@WalkWithMeTim are you aware of EDI car hire? One of the team actually waits for you to arrive in the multistory car park and sometimes they just leave the key in the car unlocked
Tim if you get to Zante, Tsivilli is a nice place especially the Contessina Hotel.
Great video as per usual Tim! The plane delay was a shame. Lovely hotel room though 😊
Thanks! 😃
I stayed in the hotel helios with my parents back in 1988!!!
Enjoyed hotel very nice
Hi and thank you for your vlogs. I haven't watched all of them but I watched enough to get me though some pretty lonely nights until the sun comes up. The last one I saw was you and your wife walking around a firework in Great Yarmouth. I don't normally comment on anything CZcams videos, but I feel compelled to do so.
Means alot . Thank you 😊
Love these videos! :)
Glad you like them!
LOL, whilst you were arriving at Alicante, we were 7 gates along waiting for our delayed flight home. You were lucky to only have a half hour delay, ours was 2 and a half late thanks to the strikes.
One more thing, I saw the greeting card, which was a nice touch, Tim Tin! (sorry I couldn't resist)
Hi Tim, love your adventures. I use a GoPro camera clamp it clips on to your suitcase handle and frees up a hand
