Came through tonight , went in pret and said in my head the same as you when I saw the prices haha. Ended up in relay €8.50 for sandwich,crisps and a drink … I did also buy a litre of rum for €12 euro in duty free 😂😂
Ha ha 12 a litre sounds good to me
@ bargain ! Had to be done haha
Just a video suggestion Dave been coming to Lanzarote with years never know where the best gym is mightn’t cater for all of your audience but if you’re ever bored sometime I’d like to see a video like it! Could even include hotels that have gyms or something thanks a lot love the content 😊
Good idea mate
That bar with an outside smoking area has been there for ages.. we have been using it for years (don’t smoke, but nice to get some last sunrays on your skin before leaving). The staff always yells at everybody entering, telling them it is for paying customers only.. last time i screamed back in spanish that one must be allowed to look for a vacant table before ordering anything 😅
ll the staff shout but one of them sounds really nasty 😂 but they are only doing their job ,👍 but I say the same in English we need to find a table first 😂
Ha ha ha really I've never seen it
It’s a shame it allows smoking out there
@RickW.. it's outside why not how many bars and restaurants have you been in that allows smoking on the terrace 😡
@@AmimanTravels well as mentioned there are more “outside areas” for smoking so why not keep that one where the bar is for everyone to enjoy some last few rays before heading home?
I wouldn't pay over the odds for a baguette or sandwich, I buy a pack from the supermarket before leaving for the airport, and carry chocolate and crisps in my hand luggage. Also take an empty water bottle in, as after security there's a water fountain. Coffee Republic was boarded over when I was there in October, nice to see it up and running, 3.50 euros not bad for a coffee while waiting. It's a pleasant airport, a lot better than TFS, where there's zero outside areas once inside - I don't smoke, but like a lot these days, do vape, so there is somewhere to go for that. Great vlog Dave, thanks!
Cheers simon
Love the airport plenty of people watching
Great people watching mate
There are definitely some crazy prices in the airport. However I have now started buying bottles of wine etc from there to take back home because you don’t have to worry about packing them. Lanzarote is just as beautiful at night. I hate leaving. Can’t wait to see some videos with Mother TravelON in them!!
Hopefully see you in PB next week 😊😊
Ha ha she's on the way
Good, I like her x
Hi. We saw you at the airport doing your vlog. We wanted to say hello, but we didn't want to disturb you whilst you were doing your video. It was great seeing you, and we all love watching your vlogs. Keep up the good work.xx
Ah never ever worry next time say hello
We will.xx
Brilliant review!
Thanks
Great airport look around , some of those prices 😱
It really is!
10.50 for a salad!😱same price as a five guys burger,mental😂
Beef in black bean sauce, euro 8.5 at Atlanticoasia pb.
Crazy
Loved the take off at night brilliant x
Myself,nicola and neale were all watching him take off on the webcam on UA-cam 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
I always find the Camden Food place has the freshest sandwiches etc made on the premises , great staff and good value .
Good to know!
You are right about the assistance service.
I often wonder as well about people (and their families!) who use the service, and aren’t really “disabled”
My wife is in a wheelchair, and cannot walk, and I think the Lanzarote staff are better than in UK airports.
When they take you through security, they then park you in the SA area, then come back for you in plenty time to load you on the plane before passengers.
Amazing thanks Chris
As I’m sure you’re aware, not all disabilities are visible. My children are both autistic so I book special assistance so their needs are accommodated. We’re probably one of those families that you silently judge for abusing the service without knowing anything about the person - be kind.
Michelle, I’m sorry you think I judge, and in no way were my comments directed at genuine and silent disabilities, which I do recognise.
However, having travelled with special assistance over 10 years now, there are people taking advantage.
I hope you enjoy many years of travel.
@michellecalderbank9827 in the video it was made very clear invisible disability but you cannot say that some people are not just taking advantage you only have to see in the comments what others have experienced
We did the lounge in September, and we enjoyed the food and drinks, but it was really busy. I think they need to redesign the layout to make it better. We booked it with our Dragon Pass, I would book it again
Thanks for the info! I must try it
So far so good, and your plan to blag three seats seems to be working. Have a nice break. Thanks Dave.
Thanks, you too!
I agree I've seen 1 guy do mega walks in Tenerife on UA-cam wont say his name then got to airport and said he needed assistance. The bar that said customers only for the smoking i went there and smoked without buying anything was in 2023 tho was too busy for them to notice probably
Name him ha ha ha I wanna know
Hi Dave my wife has used airport assistance for years as she has a genuine mobility issue it does get on my nerves when I see fakes boarding the aircraft in Bristol then when we land in Lanzarote they jump out of there seats and run off the aircraft unaded, keep up the videos doing a great job
Best wishes from the Weston Super Mare Grinch
Wow that's shocking you should report them
People don’t have to have mobility issues to use special assistance. People with hidden disabilities are not ‘fakes’. This attitude makes me so cross.
Genuine people with hidden or physical disabilities do not jump out of there seats and bypass the assistance system but faking any type of disability to bypass passport and security quess is definitely wrong I think the point was misunderstood but thanks for your commitments
@michellecalderbank9827 AGAIN nobody is saying this. I will not have this when it was clearly said IN the video and clearly stated by people's comments the issue here is YOU not anybody else
Thank you a lot, again !
Thank you too!
Not a chance 😂😂 packed lunches for us mate
Me too
Relay - meal deal and take on the plane, we’ve recently had long delays flying out and back so depending on when you check out the hotel you can get peckish! Super helpful video as usual. WHERE HAS THE CAMEL GONE!!! Noooooo
Cannot wait to see what you get up to in Blighty and what you think of the Christmas decorations and weather. I hope you post Christmas Day if you get chance 😊please
I will 100%
Travelled from Lanzarote to Manchester two people were assisted onto plane when landing in Manchester the pair legged it to passport control and were amongst the first to get baggage
Shocking
I tried the café/restaurant at the end of arrivals (past the car rental offices) last time I was at ACE airport, to get away from the crowds. Turns out it is also used as cantina for staff working at the airport, and they had a really good lunchdeal, a three-course with drink included for about 12-14 euros. I am gonna use that place from now on.
FYI I usually eat lunch at the airport cause checking out at the hotel is 12:00 at the latest, then you leave for the airport in case any hiccups, and to have ample time returning the rental car. Flight to Oslo is 5pm-ish, and if it is delayed, you won’t get your food til late in the evening, so I have to eat something or I’ll faint.
Nice plan ahead I take snacks ha ha I hate spending
Right next to burger king there's a deli stall that sells fresh baguette rolls for around 5 euros, tuna and cucumber, ham salad etc.
I'll check it ouy
Hi Dave, it's my first time to stay in Lanzarote and travelling alone. I'm surprised how big the airport looks. It looks much bigger than Tenerife south? . hope I don't get lost 😅.x
Not too big not as big as tenrife i don't think
First thing I do in Lanzarote airport is buy cigs bacci and brandy 😂then go to Tropical bar and have a few last pints and sun ☀️ cigs in uk are £11 minimum for 20 , pack of 200 for 34 euros awesome 👍 great video as usual Dave 👍 tropical bar isn't new the food part has been refurbished😂and there is 3 smoking areas at ACE 1 at gate 12 tropical bar and 1 behind burger king but all you get there is fumes from cooking burgers 😂
Nice one bob
The lounge at Manchester airport is worth the £37. We used it last week on the way to Gran Canaria it was really good and the food and drink was great. Re filled constantly and drinks were top brands. Had big fancy settee’s really comfortable. I can see why it wouldn’t be worth it for you. Booked it again for march when we are coming to playa Blanca. Staying at Cordial marina. Seen your video on it. Very helpful
Thanks for the tip! I think if I drank it might be good
Thanks for the tip!
Nice views at night, say hello to the dragon 🔥 😂
Ha ha will do
At Tenerife airport, it'd be nice if they had one smoking area. We had a look round duty free at Lanzarote airport a couple of months ago and a very nice, local red wine we'd had the previous evening in a restaurant in Puerto Calero, €23.95, was on sale at €30. We didn't buy it and, judging by the shelves being full of it, nobody else did either!
Don't they have one
I often have to buy something to eat at an airport, usually to take on the plane. I have a wheat intolerance and it’s extremely hard to buy anything suitable to take from resort. Even at airport it can be very difficult. Some airlines do not even try to offer anything and those that do often a sell out. But your point about prices is definitely correct. If you want some footage of the VIP lounge I’m coming over early July and will still just probably have a priority card for access, providing Jet2 get me to the airport in time. From what I’ve seen the food is only there during ‘Spanish meal times’ whatever they are!
There's not much at airport wheat free
I just had a total hip replacement. I can dance with the top half of my body but not walk a distance. There are so many chair based exercises and activities or standing ones now to include those less able.
I honestly believe genuine people but this particular one you could just tell. I think some just take advantage which is sad for those that need it
Didn't have time to get anything even if we wanted when we flew back in Oct - TUI had 2 queues and 1 check in desk open. It took over an hour to check in so we were literally straight through security, fill the water bottles up and the gates were up. Duty Free shut once everyone was through and I don't remember anything being open. To be fair, it was nearly 11pm at night and it was the last flight of the day but it wasn't a great experience at check in.
I've been there ha ha
Welcome back to the cold and damp Dave 😊
Thanks
What is the delays like in arrivals/customs?
We've been going for years and never had a problem before, but have heard of some long delays... Did anyone have delays?
We'll be over in mid Feb!
Enjoy
Last trip I went to Burger King there, after swallowing the first bite of the double burger I looked down to see they were raw in the middle, l left the rest and luckily wasn’t ill. Who can’t cook a burger that thin 😂
Oh no
Mr travelon (Dave) silly question but what's the weather like in August please is it anything like tenerife. Thanks Joe ps enjoy all your vlogs 😊
Hot peak season
@MrTravelONWorld thanks for the reply
We take an empty water bottle and fill up and the water fountain. We take our own food to eat. I know we are from Yorkshire 😂 😂 the VIP Lounge is worth it.
Hi, I'm like yu, total ripoff in airport, were is the water fountain, thanks
@ near the main toilets.
Is it worth the cash maybe I'll try i don't drink though
We had a long wait at Passport control just before boarding our flight. One security guy stamping hundreds of passports. Because of the wait we missed two slots to take off so ended up taking off an hour late. So not great but it certainly wouldn't put me off travelling from Lanzarote airport.
Hope you've got your thermals because it's going to be very cold from tomorrow 🥶🙂
Thank Patricia
Hi Dave i always have a drink in that outside area i dont smoke but i like to get the last of the sun🌞 I was in a bar pdc one night a woman on a mobility scooter came in she never got off the dance floor all night 🤣
Crazy ha ha ha bet she gets assistance at the airport
Had a wrap at Pret last week. It was lovely and well worth the money. YOLO
Really Mark I'd have framed it and kept the wrapper ha ha ha ha was it that good
We bought 2 rolls and 2 coffees at Pret and yes it was around 30 euros ,admittedly it was a bit pricey .
Omg 30 notes ha ha id have died
3.50 is a bit pricey for coffee. That's like Costa or Starbucks prices in the UK. Most bars and restaurants on the island are much cheaper.
Really
The bar with the outside smoking area has been there for years
Cheers I don't smoke never seen it ha ha
Airport food is always overpriced. It’s the same in the UK. It’s ridiculous how they always charge 3 or 4 times the price they should be.
It is but how much are the companies paying to be in there I bet it's extortionet
You’re probably right. I can imagine it’s costing them a lot of money to have their place at the airport and it could explain the high prices.
Yeah but stop buying it they will lower prices
Is there any outside area which is non smoking please ?
Nope
Is there a non schengen passport control when leaving Lanzarote?
Not yet
You are taken from there to the plane, but often abused by people as on last flight 8 used to get on ,arrived in lanzarote and only 2 used it ! On return again lots used but on landing hardly anyone. They use it to skip the security queue as wheelchairs . to the front of the queue
Thanks so much for the info
So Tropical bar is where Burger King was?
That used to be called the disco bar because the girls who worked there had banging tunes blasting out.
Looks like the executive bar has gone
Ahhh great
What price was the flight?? Bet it’s at least twice the price to Dublin?.
Cheap Dublin is a joke for prices
We pick up sandwiches from from Spar only cost around 2 euros. Will not pay airport prices.
Good one.
i was in that bar next to the vip bit was very good and i got special assistance do to my disability and am a able to walk i would pay for the vip bar i would enjoy it in there
Thanks Paul
Definitely wouldn't buy nothing to eat in the airport just go for ham cheese toasty on easy jet think that's a bit expensive for vip definitely agree dave we use special assistance and see it all the especially when you're going home but there first of the plane and yes you get taken to the gate thanks for sharing dave ❤❤
Thanks Susan
Disabilities aren’t always visible, like you said. You don’t have to have mobility issues to use special assistance. It’s best not to comment on things if you don’t understand, or educate yourself to have a bit more empathy for people with hidden disabilities such as autism, ADHD, hearing loss, anxiety etc. ✌🏼
You again have totally taken everything out of context ill have you know I've done a full series on invisible disability so I'm very well educated on this. The fact remains and has been pointed out by others that people are using the system. It seems to me that you should be not jumping on everyone that has an opinion when they have clearly said they understand. The issues is your interpretation of words not anyone else's so have a think about that before snapping peoples heads of and patronising them!
The hidden disability rights is a bit of a joke really. Not in the terms of their actual disability, but how the airport handles it. For disability like very bad anxiety and other mental health issues, its absolutely pointless using the service, as its more stressful, longer wait times and just adds to your disabilities.
We tried it with my partner as she suffers from bad anxiety, and we were stood waiting for half hour, in the end we gave up and bloody walked through security ourselves otherwise we wouldnt have had time to eat.
People take advantage
£8.66 for a ham roll that’s disgusting
Crazy pack lunch for me
Now I'm going to be a Karen , Dave & I'm never a Karen only I have the name , but I have a invisible illness , fibromyalgia & nerve damage , have a walking stick & mobility scooter to get from A to B. I just can't walk too far or stand for long periods of time, but we not dead to be able to enjoy life, there is some that do take advantage, but Im still able to have the odd drink, like a party & don't mind a song or too , sadly if I did have a dance it would be one & wipe me out for rest of the night but just cos you have a disability don't make you dead , just can't do as much as like to do , I definitely try to keep up just the nerve damage stop me. But I do think there is some that do fiddle the system that does spoil for the genuine ones 😡
This one woman 100% was playing the system Karen for sure
@@MrTravelONWorld yrh that's what I don't like Dave as it not fair on the genuine ones , I'd give my eye tooth to be able to do the things I could do standing in a queue never bothered me
Dave, come on a legend that you are if you have just said its FREE drinks and food for 40+ why wouldn't most do it, average pint £7-8 in airports, and as you stated wraps 12 euros. Nah for me would pay the 40+ get in the lounge, as already through security take a raft of food, wrap it in cling film take in on plane to eat as a snack, have about 5 beers as still on holiday mode. Pays for itself and then some, unless you dont drink. Or what many DONT do is get to a restaurant a hour before your transfer pickup and munch like heck on the most filling thing going, sorts you out for 12 hours easy, down a few cheap beers, and by time you get to airport full, quenched and not spending a fortune, then nod off on plane. I've done it but now refuse to pay airport prices as just being robbed. What makes a BK burger better in an airport for o price 3-4 times higher than in a city centre, sod all, they are dry and dying by time you get them and smaller. Also as an ex smoker that Tropical bar is new but was smoking outside there 7-8 years always been there made it a point to yes get a beer (didnt know about the lounge then) so we could lap up some last bit of sun and have a smoke. Im like you too love a bargain, so last holiday it was cheaper to get a pre-paid train from Hull to Leeds (£12), get a bus to LBA (£2) on the city link, book an overnight Travelodge opposite (£60), have an evening carvery all you can eat at the pub 5 mins away (£10), go back in morning for a full english (£10) the walk accross to the airport 10 mins away then it was to book a taxi direct from the house to the airport (£100). Felt like I started the holiday earlier, ate like a king and paid little in airport, might have took longer and more messing but worth it shopping around see how cheap you can get a similar or better experience.
Amazing mate love that planning. Thing with me I'd only drink water ha ha ha
Great vid, aren’t cigarettes sold in packs of 10 (200 cigarettes in a sleeve)? So two sleeves for €79/69 isn’t bad but wouldn’t that be 400 cigarettes? That exceeds our duty free allowance. Starting to think Duty Free at Airports is a scam
Video on the way about cigs
@ and duty free I hope. It feels like most duty free items are either the same price or cheaper in supermarkets
Special asst you get the lift into the plane , they put you in your seats before anyone else gets on plane with who your traveling with , it's not the best but you get what your given every airport is different how they deal with you in special asst
It’s not fun is it? I can’t see that anyone would want it who doesn’t need it.
Nice one Karen thanks for that I should get my mum on it
Honestly Claire look around next time theres loads of people taking the mick. When I was a rep I saw so many
@ I’m not offended but it’s hard on those who are then not believed because others actions. I see every day in my job, it’s sad. We live in a strange world these days though.
@clairemariesmith100 it's honestly disgusting those that do it I saw it in Birmingam also!
You should have taken an empty bottle and refill at the water fountain
I don't trust them fountains
Cheaper than London, that only one coffee it, s 4 £.
I hate the airport as for me it's stressful as cant be doing with people but its good to see pizza hut there as i do love their pizza,as a hater of smoking its shit that the only outdoor space to get the last of the sun is around smokers,they need to put somewhere for non smokers
Me too mate crazy smoke and get fresh air
I went in the VIP in Tenerife around the same price i stuffed my face 😂 hubby wouldnt join me I paid on his card lol I have Multiple Sclerosis and iv never used the assistance!!! If i could get up n dance the night away n drink ( but i dont drink anymore) would I hell use assistance n I have many a day when I can't walk that far I still queue through the airport etc some people just take the mick 🤦♀️ cant believe she boasted about it 😮
You love anything VIP Ruth

Why pay silly rip off prices at the airport .? Pack a sandwich if on 'self catering' or buy one trom a supermarket prior to tranfer to the airport. Grow a brain its easy
Exactly
Or don’t be tight! You’re still on holiday! It’s not real money 😂
@RickW.. Who are you trying to convince.?
