A 96-year-old Geordie is celebrating more than half a century of holidays with TUI as she gets set to jet off to Benidorm with her family from Newcastle airport.
Connie Mclauchlin, from Ponteland, has been using the airline for around 55 years and in that time has visited dozens of popular destinations with her husband, John, and pals.
The couple have enjoyed trips ranging from Alicante to Zante and were even on the very first flight from Newcastle to Orlando in 1992. However, Connie told Chronicle Live that her favourite destination has to be Italy's Amalfi Coast.
