Fun fact:

MLA to LGW 2:53 (well done SmartLynx 15 mins ahead of schedule, but please carry enough ice on your flights for the G&T) - 2430km
From aircraft exit to Farnborough 2:15, courtesy of 1/2 marathon walk to passport control, e-gate failure to read passport (successfully done many times previously) resulting in 30 min wait for ONE, yes ONE Borderfarce officer to check it and confess no reason for e-gate rejection, bus to long term carpark another 25 mins and finally Highways England sneakily rebuilding most of the Southern section of the M25 to really provide a good welcome home - 46km. Redhill looks nice by night though!
