Last week GLA-LHR group boarding. Working perfectly. PVG-LHR and LHR-PVG working perfectly. Although I'm Gp1 I saw how everyone was being orderly.
Monday. GLA-LGW. Orderly and working well.
LGW-GLA. This is a call for Club and Gold members. I stand up form seat and make way to the throng at the entrance.... i'd only taken 2 steps and about 2 seconds pause, "and silver and bronze". Cue the inevitable scrum fmorpeople that had formed the normal "radial queue". Bit of a bun fight.
Ended up with the lady who should have been on 2D having to sit in 4D on the flight because everyone was getting on the plane and she couldn't get back to her seat.
Then by the time they got to row4 they had run out of Chicken salad, but that is another thread.
