Thumbs up Well done

I'm pleased to hear that it went well.

I have a strange relationship with flying. I don't call myself nervous, but I used to check the weather too often for my own good. After several flights that were completely inert after a poor original forecast, I stopped doing it. I love a flight on a calm, cloudless day. I have an irrational preference for certain aircraft types (Airbus, because I find the technology fascinating). I like certain airlines - BA, Easy, Swiss/LH, TAP... Adjust any of these factors and I'm less keen, but I'll still go.

I might offer a service to other nervous flyers to allow them to ensure that they're not on the same flight as me - over the years I've had six go-arounds (one last night at LHR!), a lightning strike and a diversion. The funny thing is that these events have reassured me about the safety of the whole operation and the quality of the people involved.

Anyway, well done.
