To be honest, I wasn't really suggesting anything, I was just being silly.

I doubt you have enough for the airline to change the time of their single flight especially for you?

I actually stay on the other side of the island, on Talamanca next to Ibiza Town. But I always make a pilgrimage to that craft brewery I mentioned in the other thread.
Sorry to hear you can’t make it this year; hope the missus’ health improves so you can come again. Best wishes.

Is that the Ibiza with one flight at 5am every second day - or the well-known Balearic island with literally scores of flights every single day in July?

From the U.K. maybe, but I don’t live in the U.K. It’s not a popular destination for Berliners and since Air Berlin went bust we are now down to one fight a day, or we were when I booked.

Seriously?! Big gap in the market right there. You should start your own craft airline

Well I *like* early flights. When we go to Corfu it's 05:50 from Gatwick so in bed about 9, asleep by half 11 and up about 0230. Three hours kip is just enough.
The big advantage is that the return flight is about midday.
You're also less likely to be delayed if you're on the first plane out.

This.
You're on holiday. Loaf around the pool. Have a lay-in. Spend your first day or so doing absolutely naff-all except getting slowly pickled. If you're still "tired" from an early morning flight after that, then I'm afraid there must be something wrong with you.

Living relatively close to Gatwick & Heathrow, there are always scheduled flight options a plenty for us, for the Balearics, USA, European Alps and so on.

I slept/ dozed overnight on Gatwick for an early flight last week.
Pluses....cheap, very rarely delayed & you more or less get an extra day away.
Minuses....I ran out of steam at about tea time, went for a nap & missed the World Cup Final. ( though i'd probably have missed it anyway as I thought it was an evening kick off )

For sure a direct flight trumps a connection and warrants the early flight
Kip definitely.
I can live without food but sleep is so important to me. I find it very hard to get shut eye in public. Last time was in police custody and even then the cheeky scamps woke me up for a medical assessment at 2.30am.

Night Nurse and three glasses of red wine, job done!
NyQuil (US Night Nurse) and a cognac worked very well for me last time!

I have all day to do nothing. so I might spend some time envisaging what Air Tubthumper will be like. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Can I be the first to say first world conundrums?
