We had selected seats 61 A and C and 62 A and C many months previous, we also had these seats on the outward flight. These have to be the best seats in economy with increased leg room and the extra space at the side to allow my two sons to stand up and stretch their legs and also store their hand baggage during the flight (this may have been the last flight they could carry their assortment of MP3 players, cameras etc!)
We boarded (Ruby Tuesday) and pushed back on time and began to taxi out but then their was a loud bang from the rear hold which the captain decided warranted further investigation. We returned to stand whilst this was investigated - no problems found and an hour later we took off.
A pleasant flight which was not full so allowed a my youngest son to stretch out on 63 A and C to sleep for most of the flight![|)]
The pilot (or assistant?)paid a visit down the flight to a lady near by who was not a happy flier [:#] - explaining the route etc.
About an hour out from Gatwick the Captain advised of a security incident and that we may have to wait for one hour before disembarking the aircraft - no details were given! (out of interest I assume the cabin crew would have been made aware of the alert?)
We landed at 09.30 and went straight to stand, I think this even surprised the Captain. The only delay being the waiting for outgoing flights using the airbridge as a link to a coach to clear.
Another excellent flight as always.
