Even though we arrived into one of the central gates at T3, it always seems a heck of a walk to passport control!

I headed to the boarding pass checkpoint for Gate C1 as soon as I had disembarked the aircraft and they allowed passengers through into the holding pen about 5 mins later.

Having arrived at T3 almost an hour earlier than my last three visits, I found that Fast Track Security was chocker - the queue reached out of the main doorway that leads into the security area.

Relaxing starts to the day in our Cafe will continue to be a routine for us after we both retire. Vick's well on the way, having just reduced her working days to 3.

It was a short walk/jog to passport control. Due to my need to go through the Seek Assistance queue, I wanted to get ahead of passengers feeding into the flow from another arrival into T3.

Arriving into Gate B7 confused me a tad on the basis that it wasn't clear where the actual Gate was!

I decided to base myself in the AA First Class Lounge today, so after heading through Fast Track Security at T3, I made my way through the departures lounge, avoiding passenger obstacles, into the AA lounge and found a quiet seat by the window.

Another relaxing morning in the Billingham household. We always start off with a coffee in our Cafe - a small area in our open plan ground floor, where we have some snuggle seats with a nice view of our garden.
