TLA in Dublin.
1hr 30 mins before for Cabin Crew. 30 mins briefing regarding to SEP, first aid, positions, pax, service. Usually met by flight crew but no separate briefing only flight times, weather, pax load etc.
Same bus to aircraft, sometimes first name terms with all flightdeck and cabin crew, creates a relaxed friendlt atmosphere.
Same bus back to crew room.
Works well
