Gatwick: London to New York 25.06.18

I have finally arrived for my first departure! Thank you Mandy for getting me here safely. X

It is now 3.10 I’m sitting at Gatwick, having checked in and made my first Upgrade request, unfortunately the flight is full, but have been told to ask again at the gate, so fingers crossed. Very impressed that my case only weighed 20kg!

Security was quick and painless, although I feel my itinerary is going to cause some issues in the States, lots of coming and going which they might not like.

It is very strange being in an airport in the early hours, most things are closed, lots of cleaning going on, the lights seem dimmer, it’s quiet and actually pretty peaceful, which may be helping me to feel relatively calm, although this might be a delusion due to extreme sleep deprivation 😳

I’m off to the bar for a nice glass of bubbles……
