Stockholm; Thursday, 20 December, 2018

I’d finished a little early so that I could get over to the Airport in time. I’m glad that I had as I managed to sail through the airport just moments before BA’s systems decided to go down for nearly an hour, which would have slowed down my progress.

The chaos that ensued meant that for most of that hour planes couldn’t be dispatched, so by the time my flight was due to depart there were delays of 40 minutes getting ramp staff to oversee the dispatch.

It meant in the end I spent rather longer than I had intended standing in the queue for boarding as they had us all lined up in plenty of time for the original departure time.

Eventually we boarded and after a lengthy taxi and a smooth flight we eventually made it to Stockholm.

I grabbed my bag and walked through the almost deserted airport, save for the passengers trying to get back to Gatwick which was still closed due to the drone.

30 minutes after landing I was at the hotel attached to the terminal building and after a quick checkin I headed up to my room to turn in for the night.
