Free from a dank Edinburgh it’s gentle lounge time. Semi healthy option but fear not, the giant fishfinger will soon be on its way. Nice!
In fact, trade description outrage – it was three small fishfingers. Which is better? Discuss.
Much more importantly, travel to Schipol could not have been easier. The bulk of the flying on this trip will be BA/AA. The world’s favourite airline could learn lots from EasyJet at Edinburgh st least. From turning up at the gate to the aircraft doors’ being shut took 20 minutes and that included a bus ride! And why? Because their staff were proactive and efficient, insisted that every wheeled case went in the hold, so there wasn’t the tense scrum and log jam on the aircraft as cretins with enormous bags try to put them into letter box size spaces. And lo, we left and arrived early and were serene!! How different from the omnishambles that is the norm on Heathrow flights at least.
And Schipol is a dream too. Automated passport reading (meantime) for U.K. travellers though having been allowed in a guard rushed up and removed my passport saying cheerily you’re in the system but we just want to check it’s you- eh??? However, drinking a restorative beer in the hotel twenty minutes later.
Got to love Dutch uber efficiency while we still can ……
