    Journey home

    BA - In economy (us), 2 of the 4 “washrooms” unserviceable, headphone socket not working, people allowed to bring on more than one case and some with ones so big they took up the whole overhead bins.

    Before boarding, Andrew got a call from the desk agent- “great”, we thought, “maybe an upgrade!”. Nope, they just wanted to tell him that he wouldn’t get a pillow. Laughable.

    The good thing has been that the tailwind has been massive and we’re going to land 35 minutes early - so, just 8 1/2 hours.

    And, to finish on a positive note, it’s only 30 minute so nice touchdown, we’re through passport control (no queues for us, despite it being Heathrow and much better than Manchester).

    Bags quickly too, in the car, and home by 1025 - faster than if we’d got the connecting flight!

    Thanks for reading!
