so a ridiculous pick up time of 6am for an 11:20 flight (thanks Virgin Holidays saw us at DBX shotly after 7 to be greeted by signs saying check in desks opened at 8:15! a brief snooze later and we were checked in quickly and efficiently and after the 7 mile walk to get through to the departure gates, time was killed by eating and shopping before boarding ontime. think we pushed back a few minutes late, cant remember the exact numbers but the flight was pretty full. Crew were on form and very efficient throughout and I am pleased to say that after the terrible food on the outbound flight todays offering was actually pretty good. (considering its economy)
we had extra leg room seats again, and I honestly think I would choose these over PE unless the upgrade price was remarkably cheap. lots of space for me and MsCannons and as the a330 are 2-4-2 config having 2 at the side seems to be the way to go to avoid disturbance. Lots of prolonged turbulence during the flight (we were warned about strong winds before take off and this added some time to the flight), but nothing too bad. Watched a few films and enjoyed the sandwich box (with a KITKAT! - SMALL THINGS). landed circa 25 mins late but was through customs, baggage and on the M25 within an hour so all in all rather good.
Overall 2 positive experiences in economy - just a shame the food was so bad on the outbound
