Originally posted by Bunk View PostI agree with some of that, but not all. Getting there early and being the most relaxed person in the airport is quite satisfying.
At some stage, I need to ring Air Canada because I can't enter my passport details for my upcoming flight. Since it's not until August, I probably don't need to worry too much, though.Comment

A few of us from the hostel went out that night, got chatting with some businessmen in a restaurant who then dragged us to a Karaoke bar and then paid for all our drinks and food for the evening.
It was one of those karaoke places that have private booths that you rent for groups.Comment

I still have my flying blue petroleum card which should get me access to the lounge, but the feckers have changed the rules and you can only use the lounge with that card if you are transferringComment

Until I am checked in, I get stressy at home - once I am checked in and the bags are out of my control, I can chill - they're going to get me on the plane now, regardless.

Always found if you spoke to the blokes at passport control in cloggy, you got through quicker.Comment

I've had to run through the terminal before (see TPD passim), and I've been the "one remaining passenger" that they have had to page once or twice. But they were down to travel hiccoughs -suicide"an unexpected incident involving a person" prevented the Heathrow Express from running so I needed to get a taxi from Paddington etc.Comment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIn all the years I've been flying, I've only ever missed a flight once - guy in front of me at check-in was asking all sorts of questions and I couldn't do it online. Fully flexible ticket, so I caught the next plane two hours later, although it was expensive because I was bored so went to Dixons and bought my first digital camera.

Highly recommend the Jamies Italian, rather than the seafood and fizz place. Used to meet up with Netraider there, nosh wasn't bad and the wine selection neither, coffee is good as well.Comment
