Coupling that with the train strikes made for a very miserable travel experience at the end of a good trip away.
Airport mostly fine a week ago for our departure, but even then we were delayed for ~30 mins on the ground after boarding due to slow offloading and late delivery of bags...
Student workers now back to their studies as well.
