Carcassonne; Sunday, 18 September, 2022

I didn’t have the greatest of nights sleep and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, other than the bed despite looking comfortable was just a bit too hard.

After a quick breakfast I checked out of the hotel and walked the 15 minutes round to the airport to check-in.

Check-in was a bit chaotic with it taking nearly 45 minutes to get to the top of the queue, not helped by people trying to queue jump as they had connections to make – understandable if there were multiple flights, but we were all here for the last BA flight of the day so we were all going for the same plane!

By the time I was checked in there were only 20 minutes left until it was due to close and the queue suggested that there might well be quite a delay to the flight, so I was quite surprised that after a slow wander through security and the departures lounger boarding started promptly 40 minutes before departure, and 10 minutes before we were scheduled to leave the doors were once again being closed early.
