Having arrived at a gate on the other side of the concourse, we got a different level of service on arrival. The airbridge was connected, and there was a short delay whilst the arrival team got themselves prepared.

I found T3 in a similar state as i did over the last few Saturdays. It was plenty busy, with passengers waiting for check-in to open.

I was looking forward to the start of Lap 3 on my eight B2B mega TP run to Sofia (and back). It was another early start, which was the bit I wasn't looking forward to.

I jogged across the front of T3 and down the steps to head to the tube. My jogging paid off as I just caught a train on the way into Central London.

At Non-Schengen Arrivals, we jogged to Passport Control, to see what sort of impact the Ryanair flight arriving ahead of us would have.

I woke at 3:45am. with a bit of a jolt. My phone alarm was on full blast; my watch alarm is so much more relaxing. Mental note for next time!

Looking forward to getting home after a tiring first Sofia B2B. I can't believe I have another 7 of these trips planned!
