Gate 3 as usual and boarding already underway with 25 minutes to departure. We are on G-TTNF today and looking at the diary it’s my first time on this particular plane. Crew are off to Zurich after this one, which reminds me that it’s somewhere I must go back to as I have only ever spent a day there when I was living in Switzerland.

Row one today and currently sat in 1B to avoid the inevitable battering if I was resident in 1C during boarding. Seat spy is showing 1A as blocked so may have the three seats to myself, in which case I’ll stay here for most of the flight.



Lovely, lovely leg room and proof that I can iron trousers when I know they’ll appear in photos

There are only four rows in front of the curtain so it should be a relatively easy run for the crew in Club Europe this morning.

Boarding complete with ten minutes to go, a good start to the weekend. Smooth flying anticipated and with the jet bridge pulling away there is every chance of an early arrival.
