So far, an interesting year for flights!
So far this year I've made four flights - two transatlantic and two domestic within the USA. Punctuality has been variable!
The flight from London to Boston was delayed by heavy security checks at the gate - shoes off for a second time, pockets emptied, bags searched, full pat-down - and a need to queue for ice inspection (in fact, we didn't need de-icing). Result - we took off exactly 2 hours and 46 minutes late: push-back was 2 hours late.
A flight from Washington National achieved push-back a minute early, and then a 4 minute taxi time at O'Hare. This was amazingly short - the cabin crew hardly had time to welcome us to Chicago!
The next one, later in the day from Chicago to Boston, pushed back a mere 3 minutes late.
And coming back to London from Boston, push-back was 11 minutes early and take-off just 2 minutes after scheduled departure time. Thanks to some nice tail winds, we were early in Heathrow.
It looks like being an interesting year!
