Hi all

Flew on the ZB38 to MAH at 0715 on 30/08/10. Mostly the entire LTN experience was hassle-free with a couple of exceptions. Check in at 0515 was the quickest I have ever experienced at any airport anywhere, literally within a couple of minutes after entering the terminal. However, the walk along endless passages to the departure gate seemed endless (I can't remember the gate number) followed by a bus ride to a stand next to the Monarch hangar. I didn't know the airport still used the hangar stands for departures.

Arrival at 1315 two weeks later involved a long bus ride and a very short walk to an immigration desk in the old terminal, no delays at all, and we were through in a few seconds. However, we then had a 30 minute wait for our bags to arrive due to repeated problems with the carousel! This caused a build up of bags as around 4 flights were being handled by the same carousel.

Overall score about 7/10.
