Went all right today...

Just to say I flew BA to Munich (BA0952) out of T5 today with baggage...

T5 business parking almost full - I can see that being a problem later on. But bus transfer quick, and traffice much better!

No problems at check in (I see they are calling them "fast bag drops" - as opposed to the old "bag drops" in T1).

Ten minutes through security (only 3 of 14 machines open) - although they opened one more just as I cleared security, meaning no queue for people just coming through (bit unfair).

If you ignore the shops, it's not a bad place to be, very quiet (in the sense of low noise levels)

Out to the B gates for the flight - even quieter, and not too hot. It's a pity you can't walk out to B and C, and you have to get the shuttle thing. But that's just me - I like to walk as much as I can on the basis I'm about to sit down for a couple of hours...

Left 30 mins late (incoming ATC cited as reason), landed 15 minutes late. Very good crew - thanks if you're reading.

Bags returned in ten minutes at MUC.

So far so good - it'll be interesting to see how things go on the return journey on Friday...

Best Regards,

Atlantean.
