The moment had come to take the brief trek to gate A19, and in a turn of events that shocked absolutely no one, the announcement came through that boarding would be delayed. The culprit? Our flight crew's tardy arrival from Dublin.
Boarding eventually got underway right around when we were supposed to be jetting off, with a tidy twenty-minute delay tacked onto our departure time, which felt about par for the course. This time around, I snagged seat 1D, a strategic choice promising minimal jostling from fellow boarders.
Our steed for today's journey is G-EUUH, a familiar bird I last encountered on a flight from Bucharest to London back in November. As boarding draws to a close, it seems we might actually be on the verge of departure. Here's hoping we're airborne sooner rather than later!
