I spent about an hour and a half in the Admiral’s Club at Gate D30, before I realised I needed to get all the way back to Gate D4 for my flight. I spent all of that time updating FT and my blog, so nothing exciting to report.

So Filthy Monkey and I worked out a plan to meet up (very) briefly at Gate D50 just before I boarded my flight. In order to help identify him (and me) I made a simple sign.

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.
