    Is it too early...

    To check in for my flight? No. It appears I'm too late!


    Fecking Gatwick. Got delayed in crappy traffic at Guildford. Arrived 1hr 5 minutes before my flight to Cloggers , so took the long stay car park. Just missed the bus and took another 40 minutes before I got back to the terminal. Gate closed.


    4 hour delay, and the BA lounge is closed, having to share the No 1 Lounge with those poor people who paid for access.


    Bah. Crap.

          Not a real contractor then...

          A real contractor's flight departs when he or she is ready.

                This is tedious.

                The lounge was packed and too hot, so sitting outside with the poor people

                    Um, flaws in the fantasist's story...


                    1. If you are flying BA and get free access to the lounge, you also get to check in 7 days before the flight. It's one of the perks of having the Gold/Silver/Bronze card.
                    2. If you're late for the flight, you use the short stay car park. It's only about £50 a day.
                    3. If you're going for a while you use valet parking.
                    4. The long stay car park buses are every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Not every 40.
                    5. If you actually do a lot of travel, you check traffic before leaving home and use the traffic info built in to the sat nav of your car so you don't end up missing your flight




                    ...apart from all that, I have zero sympathy for someone with such poor time management skills who then tries to blame a town, traffic or the airport for their own inadequacies.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
