They have been looking at the airport's departures and have already noted the couple of hours lateness this flight had today and yesterday (anybody know why?). Is there any help available for those who suffer from extreme anxiety and need help bypassing crowds and queues? (Apologies to those in the queue). They will be on diazepem for the journey!
To be honest I would not be surprised if John does not turn up for the journey but it would be a shame as he would probably never fly again. It would be nice to give him some assurance. Thank you
Your flight is scheduled to be operated by Helvetic an independent Swiss carrier that operates a number of Swiss flights under a sub contract basis . The onboard service is usually excellent imho . Especially so among European short haul carriers today.
T1 on Friday morning WILL be very busy and I am afraid a long queue through security IS inevitable so do be prepared for 40 minutes plus unless you pay for the speedy lines!
The flight and others have been delayed over the last few day because of FLOW CONTROL across Central Europe simply too much traffic in the air.
Dont get to anxiousthe flight will be fine - the airport experience less so however it the way it is these days .
Air travel lost its glamorous edge more than twenty years ago it just another method of mass transit these days.
