Downtown and especially the road system is pretty messy at the moment and you have to take the last entrance (or the first if you are coming from the Old Key West side ) entrance into downtown to drive into a very small car park in front of Cirque De Sol, or whatever it's called.
The mess and overall guddle seems to be making the check in a little quiet but it's still a great feature.
It was quite interesting to watch the 24kg game when a couple checking in 4 bags were trying and failing the scales test and ended up with a huge pile of hand luggage
Anyway checkin was very quick, no weighing although one must have been close to the limit and boading pass in hand it was time to fill in the last day.
This was a strange flight as it left very early around 4ish and got into Glasgow at a rediculous time of 5.15am so not really the usual full last day.
In fact it was that humid, it was decided that after a last visit to Publix to pick up some Milk Duds ( you get them too early and they are just a huge lump of chocolate and caramel by the time you get home ) we would depart for the airport around 1ish getting there around twenty past which gave plenty of time to get through security, a last fantastic meal at the outback, a quick beer or two in the Delta lounge and ready to board around half three.
And that's exactly what happened.
I reported earlier that they are now charging for "premium" drinks in the delta lounge but what constitutes premium, I don't know. The beer is still free and actually hardly had the first one finished before the lovely Virgin Atlantic Lady was there to take us to the gate.
After a little delay, we were soon on board into a quite upper cabin with 4 customers and 3 staff.
The crew were great. Seems the Scottish crew try and get the Glasgow flights which makes for a great trip.
The staff passengers really didn't make any fuss and the crew didn't really treat them specially.
I had the soup and the chicken, both tasted very (very) strong and would not be picked again and I fact I struggled to finish the chicken. (The previous steak had nothing to do with this
)Finished watching the last half hour of Fast & Furious 7 and then got the bed made up and slept. Cabin was a great temperature and all of a sudden, it was time for breakfast.
We landed on time ( a fully automatic landing -" all electrical appliances need to be switched totally off" and through immigration to wait, and wait, and wait for the baggage.
After what seemed like a few hundred bags had come off, the upper ones started to come through and from there it was quickly through to the short stay where the car was and off home after a fantastic trip.
Another 1st class holiday which really gets you into the mood to book another straight away. (I could get really used to the Floridian lifestyle)
Thanks for reading

( oh and the miles for the chicken from the outbound trip had posted after a few days - life's good
