    Not me. Sprogs and mrs sit down at the side. And I never go to the front. Pointless. Just stand back and wait. Easy peasy.

    I just dont like someone running 50 yds at full tilt because they spotted their bag just starting its ascent onto the ramp.

    You go to the check in desks on the right, then turn right through the security lanes then walk along the corridor and grab a glass of Henriot.
    There's even a Hamley's in there now.

    But perhaps you can help me, what's it like behind the curtain on a plane?
    I assume there are seats back there but do they only serve non-vintage Champagne and does MF not spend as long cleaning the toilets?
    There are cyclists going through dropping gel wrappers and with flashing lights.

    I remember before the days of low - cost airlines you either had to stupm up the cost of a scheduled flight or use a bucket shop to get a spare seat that hadn't been allocated on Brittania airlines or the equivalent. Or DanAir and their BAC1-11s.

    ?
    Not pretty.

    Hence why I don't usually travel that way anymore, especially when travelling overnight.

    The other bit you have wrong is there is no champers, but you might get lucky and get a complimentary Tizer.
