It was a different despatch team to the normal crew, but they were happy to let me through the glass door. I was on my own for the Lap 7 B2B. Billy-no-mates!

I queued up at the glass door with the guys, and the Despatcher Two came to let us through. We hung around at the front of the priority boarding queue until we were invited to reboard.
