From T3 Arrivals, I scooted out through customs and out into the very cold air of the UK. Along the corridors to the tube station and I had to wait 5 mins for a train to take me to Hatton Cross.

Gate B7 was fairly packed when I got there, but most passengers decided to queue in an odd shaped curve away from the gate itself.

Another relaxing start to the day, ahead of my first TP run of 2024. For a change, I had a lie-in! I didn't wake up until almost 6am. The cats were not impressed!

This is another installment of my series of TP runs to Sofia. In June, July and Dec of 2023, I did a number of trips out to Sofia, just to collect TPs. There was another opportunity in Jan 2024 to collect more cheap TPs, so here I am!
