At the beginning of October I flew with easyJet from Aldergrove to Luton.
As if having a jar of instant powdered tea confiscated at security wasn't bad enough, I received a further unwelcome surprise in the departure lounge.
The reasonably comfortable, upholstered chairs had gone and in their place was row upon row of hard, bare metal chairs.
Sitting on them reminded me of how it used to be on Citybuses in the 70s and 80s.
What bright spark came up with that idea? Talk about taking a retrograde step! Furthermore, it was only the airside lounge seats which had gone backwards; the landside area seats were still soft and comfortable.
One expects to find hard, bare metal seats in airports in the former Soviet Union, not in a fairly well off and prosperous Northern Ireland!
Come on Aldergrove, get your act together and put back the proper comfortable chairs in the Luton lounge!
