Hi Suemac!
Sorry not to have replied earlier, had problems picking up the internet but all fine now.
We flew via Monarch from Gatwick and I presume they had all our passport details on file as we always fly with them.
So, at check-in there was no hold up at all, but going through to departures was a nightmare!
The security checks are what holds everything up.
They were having to check people's boarding times who were in the queue and fast track them through xray etc.,
Luckily, we were fastracked, else we would have missed our flight!
Anyway, having a great time here, weather brilliant, having to avoid the sun at times as it is so hot!
Sorry peeps.........................he he he!!!
