Enjoying getting back into flying after the awful last few years. Managed to sneak in another trip in Feb with Las Vegas in my sights.

Having whizzed through passport control, I didn't have to wait long at the bus stop before a bus arrived to take a couple of us back to T2/T3 Business Parking.

Sofia was wet and horrible. I could see that on final approach as rain drops started streaming across the aircraft windows.

T3 felt quite busy from the outside and fast track security was busier than last week as well. But it was still only about 5 mins before I was into departures and walking through towards the lounges.

Nothing special today - just another rerun of last week's TP run to Sofia and back again.

Luckily I was first off the bus when it arrived at T3, but that didn't help with my attempt to convince the passport kiosks to accept my passport.

Sofia is one of the easiest places to do a B2B at. Arriving passengers are decanted into the departures area, so departing and arriving passengers mix.

Having checked in online, I headed up to Fast Track Security where there was a minimal queue. The 3D scanners had not arrived at T3 as yet, so it was the normal "everything out" approach and the slow move of trays through the scanner.

The day got off to a fine and chilled start: coffee in the cafe, whilst I reviewed the footage of our first test of a wildlife 4K outdoor camera.
