This was a work trip, and unfortunately BA no longer fly to PMI....although I believe that they are starting this route from LCY in the Summer.

Had stopped at LGW Hilton the night before, so wandered over to the North Terminal about 90 minutes before the flight (only had hand baggage). The terminal was deserted - seems very quiet these days. Security was a breeze, and wandered around the shops for a bit until the gate for the flight came up. The usual long walk over the large bridge to gate 107. As usual there was a small scrum of people building around the gate, none of whom had speedy boarding. The gate assistant kept on trying to get people to move back, although most people weren't having it. Boarding was about on time, and I was the first through and bagged the front row (extra leg room but lots of stares as people boarded).

We were late leaving, as there were too many bags for the overhead lockers. Some bags were forcibly removed, which led to some passengers being very rude to the cabin crew - it isn't there fault that EasyJet makes you pay for baggage!

After take-off, it was the usual drinks, scratch card and duty free service - the crew worked hard on the flight to get everything done. I am not a fan of the hard sell that they have on board, but I suppose you just try and ignore it.

Despite leaving late, we made up the time and arrived a little early and then it was straight off the plane and into a marginally warmer Palma. Overall, a pleasant journey and we got exactly what we paid for!
