What, are their breakfasts' not very nice??Even before coping strategies etc I could fly out of City airport and even have breakfast whilst there. At Gatwick or Heathrow I was always on the verge of throwing up.
Seriously though, I try and not let it bother me, but I must admit that the whole having to get everything sorted and through security, especially if it is busy and your plane's departure is rapidly approaching is a bit of a tyranny.
I once flew from Standstead back home to Glasgow and it was just after the liquid bomber plot had been uncovered, so security was like a 3 ringed circus.
I had arrived in reasonable time, but only just got through in time to catch my plane, provided I ran (it was Queazyjet ironically enough).
With new rules and gawd knows what else coming in all the time, is it any wonder I take the train when I can?
When I flew all the way from Beijing to Paris last week, I expected there to be more than 2 engines. 2 is clearly not enough for such a large plane as a 777, and what if one goes wrong?
So refused to board until they fitted another.
They are more than capable of flying with the one, but yes, I do sometimes have to wonder about the wisdom of only having two power plants instead of more.
'Tis all down to money and fuel efficiency and all that parlarvar though.
