Newswatcher offspring due back from holiday yesterday morning. Thomson flight due Gatwick 04:45hrs. Drive to airport takes about 1hr., plan to leave about 4AM.
At 3AM, flight showing as expected on CEEFAX at 04:12hrs. Quick update to plans, and arrived Gatwick at 4.20AM. However, arrival time shown on airport screens now 04:35hrs.
How does flight add nearly half hour over one hour duration? Airport information say times received directly from airline.
Daughter eventually appears at 5.40AM. Not best pleased with speed of baggage handling either!
