A little bit of boarding not boarding at the gate where they called zones 1&2 and then there we waited for a good five minutes.




Eventually we were allowed to trickle on board and I am now comfortably ensconced in 15C and the crew member lurking in the middle of the plane tells me that 15B is empty so we have both leg room and shoulder room once again. I don’t know if I am simply getting lucky or if there is some sort of seat blocking going on.

Flighty is predicting a 10 minute departure delay and a 17 minute arrival delay so hopefully we will be on our way shortly.

Next Stop: Newcastle in an hour and a half time.
