We eventually parked up at a bus gate and after the traditional trundle around the airport we were deposited at bus arrivals at 20:00

Getting to the E gates took close to 25 minutes including clearing border control and first stop was the Crown lounge which offered some of the worst food I’ve seen in a while!







Deciding I’d rather not partake in any of those offerings, I headed back a few hundred yards and have been enjoying an incredibly expensive but oh so good McDonalds!

I’ve just arrived at the gate with, supposedly, 10 minutes to boarding, let’s see how that plays out. Frankly, I’m done now, just want to get home and to bed.
