TCX to YYZ Parked the car at Q-park. The annoying thing was we didn't get dropped outside the terminal. We were dropped off on the West side on the arm of International pier. It was a good walk to the terminal. Luckily it wasn't raining and our bags were nearly all pull along types. There weren't many trolleys around. Check-in went OK, however there were only two queue's for the three desks which meant they were longer than necessary, however the numpties who organise things were oblivious to the problems they were causing. (Although not too bad) There was a long queue for International departures. Our flight was being processed though. There were four X-ray machines operating. We went through quicker than I thought we would. I've queued for longer on a normal busy morning. Didn't really look that busy through in departures. Things changed again, with the old cafe removed and the new pub/restaurants open. We were served quickly in the Drum and Monkey. Tea, rolls and sausage etc. We were on gate 28. Wanderded down, again not as busy as I'd expected, however the AA and US flights had just finished loading. Was looking forward to seeing the XLA 747 on stand 29 however their was a 2 to 3 hour delay on that flight. Flight went on time and arrived early into YYZ. B757 with 35" seat pitch. Excellent leg room. I'l take the 757 with this leg room over the wide body 31" seat pitch alternatives every time. (Aisle was busy though). Well its 08:14 here, 13:14 in Glasgow, lazy morning been up since 05:30.
