This flight was on time and the cabin wasn’t full, so I had the opportunity of sitting next to the window and taking a few photos.

Got to gate D21 about 45 mins before departure and it wasn’t long before they called First class to board. This was my new favourite plane - the 763 - favourite only because they hand out tablets for entertainment.

My worries last night abut the noise from next door were happily unfounded. I put the a/c on and it’s so noisy i was in a little bubble of my own, had a great sleep and woke up later than usual.

The return trip was nothing much to report about. I dozed most of the way, and ate my biscuit but I didn’t order a drink.

The flight to Cancun left from gate D32 which was only just up the terminal a little way, so minimal exercise in that walk.
