Usually quite cool to climb the stairs to a 747 but when you have an infant with you all of a sudden it becomes a different proposition...

And is this the latest way to save £££'s, rather than running the bus from gate 1?
this happened to me once last year - was not best pleased. Walk to the furthest gate and then get a bus! To be fair, the staff at the get were a bit embarrassed about it also.
