To Frankfurt for the day. It may seem crazy, but actually no crazier than going to Newcastle or Leeds when you think about it, especially as my meeting was in Frankfurt Airport.
I had, in fact, done this before, in December, and found a very convenient flight from City Airport at 0800 and a decent return in the evening. For some reason, though, this flight in the morning does not run on Fridays in winter so I had to go to Heathrow to catch the 0700 instead.
I can get to City Airport for an 0800 flight by public transport - albeit the 0543 from Ashford. But even on the 0513 I can't get to Heathrow before 0645 so I had to get Brian to taxi me to the airport.
The consolation is that the 0700 flight appears to be a proving flight for intercontinental 767s after maintenance. So, in business class we had lie flat beds with plenty of space. It's almost a shame the flight wasn't any longer.
A bus, though, at Frankfurt meant it was slow getting off but as I had plenty of time it didn't matter.
Coming home it was just an A320 with Club Europe seats - a bit of a let down in a way.
