G-TTNE this time and finally a new one to cross off the list, first time on board.



The gate experience seemed incredibly chaotic at first sight and watching the gate agents pre- checkin the families with infants, try to gather baggage from groups 5-9, and fend off a couple of group 2’s that wanted to head on board first it was all a bit comic opera. But, to give them thier due, in the end the was a clear call for Group 0 and a decent delay before they called group 1 so they got there in the end.

Now on board in seat 1A for a change and a have been chatting a little to the crew, they’re on day 4 of 5 and this is their second and final flight of the day. And since sitting myself down I’ve been chatting with Mr 1C who was in 1B to avoid the boarding battering, a strategy I wholly agree with.

There is a grizzling child a few rows behind constantly wailing”I don’t like it!”…. Well, neither do I!

Next Stop: Back to Heathrow in about an hour and a half’s time
