As I was heading to the North Circular I heard on LBC that a lorry had good into a couple of toll booth at QE2 crossing so U-Turn it was and head to the Blackwall Tunnel. Pretty smooth sailing through that on to the M25, usual hotspot around junction 4/5 and then the road works but all in all took me 1hr 15min which is a result :)

Phoned Meteor meet and greet ahead, greeted by the same driver as last month actually and he said welcome back ( nice touch that cos he got tipped but don't know does he say that to all customers ? I'm sure he doesn't )

Check was extremely busy but saying that it took no longer than 10 mins which is fantastic considering how many people were there ( LHR & STN take note !) Fast track security was a breeze and I even tried out my mobile boarding pass which works fine on the scanners ( surprised me)

Rocked up to No1, produced my Priority and bingo they let me in, result on my last few experiences. Coffee and scrambled egg muffin later and I was browsing round duty free and got myself a cheeky little Armani spray, hey you have to treat oneself once in a while :)

Boarding was a breeze as was take off and two top notch CC made it a great service but and the thing that stuck out in my mind was the food, big improvement me thinks and as we got some crackers and cheese as part of the meal gets another thumbs up from me y)
The Khulia and brandy followed after the main I had half and half which goes down particularly well (try it).

Had a few bumpy rides on the flight which can't be helped (why do people like roll coasters) but lived to tell the tale so far (at the time of writing I'm at 35,000 ft by the way so I hope I finish)

Landed on time and as the norm lately EC passengers downstairs are not held back so we had to 'slot in' at the bottom of the stairs to disemabark v(

Customs was quick and here I was back in vegas baby y)

Is this not another LGW - LAS hop? It is marked up as a LAS - LGW run...

Thanks for the TR Kabuta, good to read that the PE food is improving. Any mushrooms making an appearance? :P

Cheers for posting 8D
