T3 so quiet today?
Hi all,
Its been a long time since I flew Emirates at this time of the day, is the airport always this quiet!?!
Flying back to LHR in Y (and being silver) thought i'd get here really early to get through checkin that i expected to be manic, get an exit row seat, get my egate renewed and get to the silver lounge for a quick smoke.
Arrived at the airport around 11:20 (flight was at 14:15 but now delayed) 20 minutes later (after doing all of the above, and some duty free I am in the lounge!)
Is it always this quite at this time??? Normally I queue longer for checkin and egate in the business section!!
BTW anyone in the 122 lounge? Going to be a long wait!!!

I always try and get the flight back to MAN that leaves about the same time. The terminal is great at that time of day, and it means we can have a lie in at the hotel, check out at noon, and enjoy a drink in the lounge before boarding.
