Experience of booking flights and transportation

Our Travel Experience
We travelled over to Saint Lucia by two planes, the flights and accommodation were booked and paid for by my dad and step mum however some of us paid for our own flights and accommodation, back then it cost me around £1000 not including spending money for the 10 days we were there for. Everything was plain sailing. 

We left from our house in Lanark and drove to Glasgow Airport where the car was booked into the car park, we then flew from Glasgow to London and stayed overnight in a hotel at the airport and got a direct flight to St Lucia in the morning. The journey to this point was great with everyone being excited and no issues. When we got off the plane we went through the usual processes, got our luggage and got the minibus to our accommodation, this took around 30 minutes, everyone was tired but excited and even the kids were well behaved. When we got to our hotel and finally checked in to our rooms my step mum realised that one of the bags were missing, unfortunately it happened to be the bag that had all of the wedding clothes in it, thankfully we managed to get it back before the wedding however my dad and step mum had to pay a travel fee to get it delivered.

Coming home we had a minibus back to the airport however my little brother and stepbrother both paid for a helicopter ride back which took them around 15 minutes. We came home from St Lucia on a double decker Virgin plane where we sat upstairs. We flew directly to London the flight over was amazing, everything was a little rushed to get us on the plane safely and away as a Hurricane was coming in. When we got to London, we had to get a smaller plane to Glasgow. As a result, we got charged for the extra baggage, thankfully this was also refunded.

We then came from Glasgow Airport and drove back to Lanark, where everyone was very tired by this point, but I think that two issues throughout our entire journey was good, especially as we had three young kids as well was pretty good.
