Pushback started exactly on time at 08:20 so hopefully an on time arrival. I’m not too bothered as I have nearly three hours to turnaround at Dublin so I’ll probably head landside to get a full tour of the airport, it’s been a while since I’ve been here.
In the end it was another long slow taxi this morning and fully twenty five minutes before we eventually took off. We were up and in the clouds very quickly and it was a bumpy couple of minutes whilst we made our ascent through the clouds.
Service commenced as soon as the seatbelt light was off. Having only just had breakfast in the CCR I wasn’t particularly hungry and so I went for the charcuterie plate for something to pick at, accompanied by two of the standard in flight trio. No hot drinks yet as it was a little bumpy and the seat belt light was back on seconds after it was turned off, and it stayed on for the first half of the flight. There was a coffee service later in the flight once the seat belt light was off.
A workmanlike crew this morning who had the cabin served and cleared fairly quickly and then closed to curtain for the remainder of the flight.
Ten minutes to landing announcement came at 09:35 and we were on the ground a little over that ten minute mark. Now trundling around Dublin airport on the way to the gate.
