BIMEY! I used to call it the 'Tinminal', it must now be known as 'Plaster Board Land'! If there is a shortage of the stuff, you will find plenty along the faceless walls that are the security check and the LONG winding route to the lowest numbered gates. Remind me to pinch a picnic or two next time I set off from the new retail area en-route to the Ryanair gates! I understand that this trek is likely to become an Olympic sport in time for 2012!
I am a bit confused, and need some help? The new retail area does not appear to be any bigger than the old, is it really larger? It certainly is brighter, but then you leave the light behind walking, and walking and walking to Gate1. Plenty of badly fitting Plaster Board to view on your trek!
I was hoping for a real step forward and I am sure the remote gates are required, but it aint a nice experience walking from retail to gate with Buster Mum and Buster-Ette. It needs a few pictures, posters, anything that is not PLASTER BOARD! (And automatic fire doors with a push chair!)
Anyway, the loads too and from Shannon were......60 and 50% and if I thought being inside Plaster Board Land was hot, the cheap new gates at Shannon were roasting!
My final impression is that whilst the local football team has been promoted, the revamped 'Tinminal' has been relegated to match the low cost facilities at Stansted......Progress eh! (And lacking the train to the gates!)
Lithuania by Wizz......Sounds interesting. If I start walking now, I might make it to the gate in time for the first flight in December!
