Today I’ve chosen a handful of lovely dresses (and skirts) that make perfect choices for a honeymoon in a city. For more city suggestions, check out the first half of this post.

]]> Comment on Tried and tested: Club World by Becca http://www.thehoneymoonproject.com/2012/04/13/tried-and-tested-club-world/#comment-4767 Becca Fri, 13 Apr 2012 11:59:50 +0000 http://www.thehoneymoonproject.com/?p=4444#comment-4767 I absolutely agree with your assessment. I was lucky enough to fly first class when I was much younger and it was truly spectacular, but when even the longest flight only lasts under 19 hours, it's a huge expense for such a small amount of your trip. We have decided, however, to splurge on premium economy flights since our honeymoon. The relative price increase isn't as prohibitive as the next level of upgrading, increasing the cost of the whole holiday by 10% rather than 100% as we learnt when looking at the prices of our next trip to the US with Virgin. My husband is 6'5" and, if the person in front of him decides to put their seat back, the flight goes from awkward to unbearable. Experience has taught us that you cannot rely on other passengers to be anything better than just-plain-rude, no matter how nicely you may ask them, and hoping that you'll be able to get a bulkhead seat just puts a dampener on the beginning and end of the trip - usually the time when you need things to be as stress-free as possible!
