I mused that a 767 might have turned up (too big for stand 2) and was parked in the country out of range of the East apron live feed.
It was a 757 over on the other side.........
The crew were bussed out just before I boarded the Air Southwest to Newquay/Dublin, saved me a bus ride!
COA boarding was going on through gates 5/6, a 4 foot length of carpet and a special sign for the business passengers boarding through gate 5. Boarding hadn't started by the time I went over to the gate but there was a fair crowd milling around gates 5/6 and not a lot else around at the time to fill with passengers.
BRS-DUB with Air Southwest.....
You get turfed out of the a/c at Newquay and given a transit boarding card and walk into a terminal that's even worse than Cardiff, painted breezeblock and arrivals/departures/delays etc written up on a whiteboard, no hint of any IT all around the place. You then re-board and sit in the same seat you flew in on.
Maybe I'll stick with Ryanair next time.
