Last week, we took an early flight via Birmingham Airport and departed for Rome. The airport staff are always great with people with disabilities or travelling with young families. We were grateful that we were fast-tracked through most of the queues and went straight to security. At the gate, I do hate it when we have to take the shuttle bus to board the plane. It always takes so long to get everyone onboard and getting a visually impaired child up those metal stairs in bright light with loud engines running is not easy.
Emirates Aviation Experience & Air Line Review
The Emirates Aviation Experience and the Emirates Air Line are located at the North Greenwich tube station and are not far from the O2. If you happen to be in London, wondering what to do, it is worth checking out! This is the first of its kind globally featuring the world’s first public flight simulators and the changing view of the city over the Thames. You will see some of the capital’s most iconic buildings and attractions!
This half term, we were invited to a fun-filled day of story writing and drawing with award winning children’s author and illustrator duo, Sarah McIntyre and Philip Reeve. You can read about some of their top tips for writing and drawing. Then in the afternoon, we were invited to experience the Emirates Aviation and take a ride on their Air Line cable across the Thames! It was very easy to get there by the tube. Once we arrived at North Greenwich tube station, the location of the Emirate building was very clearly labelled. Or you can ask the Emirates’ information counter for more details which is located on the ground floor.
