Nuremberg; Monday, 04 April, 2022

My alarm woke me up as planned and after a quick shower and checkout I was at the bus stop with a couple of minutes to spare. There were a surprising number of people catching the same bus, which I suppose shouldn’t have been surprising as they were all also people who had been booked on the Sunday night flight back to London.

Almost in unison as a group we got off the bus and immediately created a queue at the BA checkin desk in the terminal.

Despite Munich being a major international hub at 5:30am on a Monday morning the airport was deserted, so it was quite quick through security and down into the departures lounge to be greeted with just one open café – the rest of the terminal still shuttered.

Boarding started a little after 06:30 and by 7am we were all on-board, closed up and headed off for the plane to get a hot shower in de-icing fluid before heading for the skies and eventually making it back to London.
