15:34 this afternoon saw us staring intently at the screen, poised ready for action. One minute to go until the online check-in – and more critically, the “choose your seats option” – opened for business.
As soon as we spotted our allocated seats and those still free for selection, we cross-referenced seatguru.com to help pick the best seats we could. We did choose to move, albeit one row forwards, so that we could sit on the non-sunny side of the aircraft. We really wanted to be further forward but as the only possibility was right in front of the toilets, we decided not to go there.
Packing has commenced in earnest with Susie using the internet to research the best suitcase packing methods. However I did point out that the recommended way of folding one’s clothes doesn’t lend itself to her usual living out of a suitcase method.
