Following 5 days if intense sessions, of sitting down on crappy conference chairs or standing up for hours on end, I was not in the best of shape for my return back to the UK. My back was really stiff, so much that it took me over an hour to actually get dressed that morning.
However, constant popping of paracetamol helped me thru the remaining sessions and off we went to MCO.
I had kept my seat in the bubble this time, had hoped that the empty seat next to me would stay empty, but the checkin agent said that it was a full flight.
Sure enough we get to the bubble and the middle seat is occupied.
There were quite a few passengers from work, Id guess about 40 on this flight, and about 15 of them were in the bubble.
It turned out that the chap in the middle seat was not on his own, and his wife was in the seat behind me, so I asked him quietly if he wanted me to swap... had to give him the option
after a moments hesitation, he said "oh, i'd better say yes.. she may have heard you" So I swap with her and end up next to a chap who I know quite well, so it was good all around.
I felt the seats were not as comfortable as the ones outbound, but I put that down to a) my back hurting and b) me being sober.
The crew, once again, we excellent. I was constantly having to stand up and head to the back to stretch my back and one of the crew was always concerned I was ok, which was nice.
The food was not great on the return, think I left most of it. good job we ate at MCO a few hours before.
Arriving at MAN was great, loved being let out first and there was no queue whatsoever at immigration.
Pity we cant seem to get baggage out quickly though, took a while for the first bags to start coming out.
All in all, I liked being in the bubble, nice and quiet.
