First flight was back in August 1990 just a few days before the Gulf War 1 started. It was the 19:00 LHR-EDI super shuttle service. Remember we were on standby tickets (my mother was working for MEA at that time). We were only confirmed when everyone else was onboard. Upon calling us to the boarding gate in Gate 5, they told us « Sorry ». We were thinking we had to wait for the next and last flight at 20:00. They were sorry we won’t be seated together. I got a window seat nevertheless and enjoyed my first ride in a 757. Loved that plane and the super shuttle service.
