Monday, May 6/2024



 


Had not realised when making this season’s bookings way back when that today was a bank holiday but actually it’s an advantage. Underground not very busy early in the morning on a holiday Monday. And the rain kindly holds off until we’re at the airport. 


Normally choose flights by the seat configuration and this one has our signature booked seats. Very back where there is a bank of two rather than three seats. Beginning to have second thoughts re Boeing, though, as whistleblowers seem prone to sudden death. What they had to say before that not especially encouraging either. Meal is a mixed blessing. Wine as usual perfectly drinkable, though we were initially wary - ‘red’ is not a varietal.


Front row seats for the layover. Reasonable entertainment value. Hoping the wagon train with the luggage includes ours.


Well, it’s a wrap. Last blog of the season, though not of the year.
