Once upon a time flights could be trusted to leave on time. I arrived at the airport nearly an hour ago and told my husband not to wait.
Now I'm still sitting here and not expecting to board for over an hour yet. At least I have a little free internet. I do hope I get to my first destination tonight.
The photo above is nothing to do with my trip but one of the few I have on my tablet!

I think delayed flights is the norm nowadays, Ms. Val. Even then, enjoy your long train ride :)

@sunrisefan thank you. I'm home now facing the first cold of winter.

@valmnz I feel for you. I emailed Aer Lingus last night complaining about how we were treated on our flight from Athens on Wednesday. We had paid for priority boarding because our learning disabled daughter needs a bit more time to organise herself. But although we were allowed on the bus that takes passengers out to the plane first, everyone else was then let on, we were squashed into a corner and ended up getting on the plane last instead of first. I’ve asked for a refund of what we paid for priority boarding - we’ll see. I do hope you’re on board by now. Travel well.

These days most flights are delayed.
