Aberdeen airport check in
At the BA check in area at Aberdeen I went to check in (Silver and Club europe)
for my flight.
but they told me they can give me my boarding pass but cant take my suitcase until 4.20pm, two hours before the flight.
this is mad! I just want to get in the lounge..
is this the correct procedure for Aberdeen ? Or has the check in girl given me duff info ?

The Northern Lights lounge is at least a decent place to wait once you are through. One other thing that caught me out on my first visit to ABZ is the fast track security queue isn't clearly signposted and the official at the entrance didn't direct us accordingly ... it's the one on the right of the boarding pass check desk if you are in the same boat.

COMPLETELY off topic ,
I seem to have acquired a £100 note in Scotland.. does anyone know what is its legal tender status in England? I.e. will I be able to spend it ?

I would buy a few things in ABZ that you would need anyway at some point in your life (plasters, pencils), or you can cash the note via a bank in England if you have an account, and you may be able to use is in NCL or CAX at a pinch, but further south than that may lead to an indelicate response. A lot of places are reluctant to take £50 English-Welsh notes.

take it to your bank and they will change it for you.
Shops etc may take them but at their own discretion. Given some places look at a Bank of England £50 note with suspicion expect a higher level of scrutiny.
