Many other things conspiring to keep people awake far too long. Altogether not enough sleep given the day ahead ... reduced to free riding on the BA wifi and praying FlyBE doesn't let me down, which considering the fog and the local Fly(may)BE moniker is looking to be a dicey proposition.

Oh, and many thanks to bettertoturnleftthanright for being far more on the ball than some of us zombies. I can report no adverse consequences, or even admonishments, at check out this morning. I'll be in touch separately for payment.

Well I'm safely if sleepily aboard BA 1443 now.

I had a very enjoyable night meeting old faces and new, and I'd like to thank PETER01 for organising everything. ^

Hopefully I will see many of you again.

Just enroute to the airport now. Was toying with just getting the train to London instead.
But gosh darn it I promised you a Ryanair Business First trip report and that's what I'm going to deliver. Now if I could just shake this fog from my head....!


Thank you all for a great evening.

Really very impressed with EDI security today. Fastrack helped. No1 Lounge is really peaceful.

Just got to EDI. Had to change my flight from BE to BA on the 1440 to LCY.

If anyone requires guesting do let me know. There are two or three other FTers here as well.

Fast track was really fast. Unfortunately my nuts (a jar of) set off an alarm and it had to be swabbed!

Thanks PETER01 for organising and hope to bump to the various people I met last night in the future!

Safely in scouse land, off to the Anfield Supporters Club now for a few pre-match drinks. In the end the drive from MAN to here not too perilous Great night last night, best to all and looking forward to many future meetings.

And again, PETER01, top notch MCing.
