This is not really relevant but it reminds me of an occassion where I was flying from Frankfurt to Leeds with (then) British Midland.
First sector was to LHR where we were put on a domestic stand at T1, bussed to international arrivals, went through all the usual processes, walked all the way (a long way!) back to domestic departures to find myself back on the very same plane in the very same seat I had left about 3/4 hour earlier!
I wished I'd been allowed to fall asleep and stay put that day!
