Airport- We were connecting from Glasgow, and had checked in on line beforehand, and had no hold luggage so headed thro ugh the security, which was sooooo long, it seemed 99% of passengers bags were being checked, ours included, only for them to say after a 10 minute wait, that actually ours was fine and had just went down the wrong belt! The airport was smaller than we imagined, but there was a shop and 2 restaurants, we went to one for breakfast and a well needed coffee

Meal- Food available to purchase on board. We snacked on ‘Love Corn’ which we brought with us, the snack is yummy and free from all the bad stuff, along with being gluten free and vegan, they also come in 3 flavours- Sea Salt, Smoked BBQ and our favourite (spicy) Smoked Habanero
Drinks- With me being ex crew for Blue Islands we got a cheeky little staff tea each
Flight Reason- We were heading to Guernsey to surprise Shannon’s mum and dad for their silver wedding anniversary. I deliberately chose to fly via Southend as this is a new route for Blue Islands, and having worked at the airline for 4 years I wanted to tick off this route too
