    The dark sky at night is impressive! Can you see stars?

    I thought this might be something to do with Nobel Prizes and a day which is celebrated in Sweden and Norway!

    I'd love to go back there but not sure I could handle the flight time any more.

    Always thought St Lucia was a French overseas territory but turns out it is independent and was British from 1814 to 1967.

    It was both. The British and the French fought over it, on-and-off, for over 150 years.

    Tui’s 787s do it in around 8.5 hours. I booked extra legroom seats (by the escape doors) and found the flight quite comfortable. The 787 has bigger windows the ceiling of the cabin is higher making it more light and airy. Think I read they put more oxygen in the cabin mix to?

    I went on 777 first time and an A330 second time. Not really a problem with legroom or comfort it's just the being trapped for so long in metal tube at 30,000 feet thing that I struggle with. Last time went on plane was to Rome, only four hour flight and I was climbing the walls.

    Worth it when you get there of course. Loads better than Spain or the Canaries.
