Boarding started pretty much on time, with a call for zones 1 and 2 together (and a melee, the French don't queue). There was little point to rush because it was a case of "boarding not boarding" with an extra 5 minute wait on the jet bridge.

This morning's bird is an A321 (I got my wires crossed, the A220 is for the next flight), F-GMZE. I've pretty much unlimited legroom in the emergency exit row. My neighbour needs it too, he looks like a professional basket ball player.


Room to spread

The flight looks pretty much full, I'd forgotten how many more people fir in the A321 than the smaller variants.

There are only 2 rows of business at the front, as a more regular on BA flights that looks very small.

We'll be late off the blocks but hopefully not by much.
