Holiday destinations for the accompanied traveller

Agreed. Go in two hours beforehand and you spend 80% of the time waiting to boardā€¦unless you are the kind of clown who canā€™t follow directions in an airport.

Standing in a queue then to sit down in the same seat thatā€™s been assigned to you anyway.

Itā€™s all about getting your carry on luggage in an overhead bin.

I do not remember that, they mustā€™ve changed shit around

Youā€™ll be standing in a queue to get your carry on luggage on the far end like a muppet then.

Iā€™ll be in a cab on the way to the City to do bidness while youā€™re waiting for the carousel to wind up

They keep space free in the front row. If no space beside you just hand it to and air host and pick it up at the front/back of the plane as you stroll off.

Do you be flying first class?

It gets fucked into the baggage hold

From the plane? It does not. At fully boarded they donā€™t have time to be adding bags to the hold. The air host finds a space. Itā€™s like having a waiter for your bag if youā€™re savvy about it.

Racing from a plane straight to a meeting? God help you theyā€™ll run rings around you.

It does. On every airline Iā€™ve flown anyway and I flew to London every week for 3 years and back, gets tagged and thrown into the baggage hold. Iā€™ve seen it happen dozens of times and every time the gobdaw having to do it was irate

You need to be last to board the plane, when they donā€™t have any time for any of that messing.

On Ryanair now youā€™re only supposed to bring a small bag that fits under the seat in front of you unless you pay for priority

The priority queue is as long as the non priority these days, sorry those days. Donā€™t know what itā€™s like these days

What if youā€™re in a cunt off with another ignorant prick with the same idea?

Your bag gets fucked under the plane when there is no space

Sure luck, arrive two hours early and spend all your time queueing up if youā€™re worried about it. Iā€™ll stroll on last as usual and Iā€™ll still end up in the same seat.

sure you know better than a fella who flew twice a week for 3 years and a lad running an airport, an hour gives you fuck all wiggle room.

Some International airports are worth showing up three hours early for,

Even if thereā€™s nothing to do surely itā€™s nice to have a bit of a relax at the boarding gate with a book or a paper and a hot drink, rather than rushing around

if Iā€™m going long haul where Iā€™m checking in baggage Iā€™ll give it 3 hours
if Iā€™m only going with carry on Iā€™ll give it 2 hours - Iā€™ll have a breakfast or bite to eat or a pint depending on the time

Would you like to come and take a walk around the Louvre before your journey home? Ah no, Iā€™m looking forward to sitting for 3 hours at the departure gate, its the highlight of the trip.
