Flew from SEN for the first time since the terminal expansion. A FR base certainly requires a good amount of additional terminal space. Although I departed at a relatively quiet period of the day, I assume the place is already pretty crowded in the morning nowadays when the overnighting aircraft depart. So for three 200 seat aircraft and potential to grow serious expansion is certainly on the cards - what is the talk at the moment? Something like 50 percent additional space in departures or even more?

I wish SEN the best of luck. For departing from London, I avoid the larger London airports like the plague and usually travel via LCY. SEN is a similarily enjoyable experience and I hope it will be able to keep much of its small airport feel and advantages.
