On the air bridge waiting for the plane to be readied and someone a distance behind me is very loud and clearly has had a beer or twenty. Could be interesting.

Boarding has been a bit messy, called to gate early, sorted into tensa lines, and then stood for 10 minutes until the plane was ready, and down the jet bridge and, nope, not ready.

Finally on board, 1C, and Mr excessive personality is in 1D, joy!



Everyone on board and the doors closed, 10 minutes to scheduled departure

Hadn’t realised this leg is an Embraer, at least it’s a relatively short flight. The single crew member at the front looks thoroughly miserable, oh dear!

Next stop, Newcastle, and the end of another adventure
