I was booked on the 06:00 shuttle to the airport but I woke at 03:30 so move this forward to 04:30. This should allow me to get into the Centurion Lounge when it opened at 05:00.

I’ve pre-booked 4 day WiFi vouchers with GoGo which are available from midnight on 14 Dec, so if I don’t immediately fall asleep on the next flight I can always connect to the internet and do some surfing. I’m expecting to use two on this trip and two on our holiday starting next week.
