Gate six for this mornings departure so a very short stroll from the lounge and G-EUUV waiting for us which I was last on for LHR-NCL back towards the end of September.




This mornings silly o’clock flight is due to my original afternoon flight falling victim to the last round of BA schedule cancellations. I was quite happy to change out to London City for the second leg but on the downside it did mean the loss of my coveted row 1 seat and I am back in knee knocking row 7 for this flight.

Boarding was a mess , partly because of the staff, partly because of the systems. They called the special assistance passengers forward of which there were many this morning but then called group 1 forward before all the people requiring extra time were through the boarding check. The inevitable scrum commenced.

After this a fair number of the boarding passes were being rejected and they were building up a small secondary queue of people needing further assistance with documentation.

I will be amazed if we push back on time today.



I think I’m still growing, there seems even less space than usual!

A cheery good morning to my neighbour in F was completely ignored, obviously it is far too early for cheer

Time to belt up both literally and figuratively and next stop - London Heathrow
