Do you think this is a rubbish idea?

[luluxxx]

Me and my partner are going to cancun in 8 weeks and we are very excited ,especially my partner who is a bit of a plane geek.
He loves watching planes and he’s even get flight radar ha ha
Anyway we have no plans over Easter and both off for the long weekend ..I had a idea of booking the airport hotel on Sunday night for us and booking the runway view room (it’s only showing as £110)
Checking in at 3 and just letting him watch planes from the room,ordering room service and then the next day checking out at 12 and heading into the city for lunch and a few drinks.
Its only 30 mins to the airport from us and there’s a train station which takes us directly there 5 min walk from our house.

is it a good idea or a bit crap that we aren’t actually getting on a plane?
I just thought with our holiday only 8 weeks away it would be fun ..truth be told I love planes too ha ha

I would bloody LOVE that! I think it’s a fab idea for anyone who even knows what Flightradar is.

Chapeau

I took it to be that they're going to Cancun soon and his plane excitement levels are rising in anticipation of the journey there and back, so the OP is organising this as a treat in the lead up to the actual flights.

Thanks everyone I’ve just booked it
We are excited for holiday so this will make us more excited (if that makes sense )
oooh thanks for all the plan spotting tips
We love going to Manchester airport runway park too
is it sad I would prefer this to going around the pubs Easter Sunday with drinks ? Ha ha

Not sad at all- you sound very sensible! Hope you have a fab time, it's a lovely thing for you to have done for him 😊 Does he know yet?
