My husband had warned me that he would probably be very bad tempered all day – he hates travelling, hates hassle and REALLY hates queues. After an hour’s taxi journey to Southampton, we arrived at the well sign posted terminal. As we drew up to the kerb, a porter materialised to whisk our cases away. We were directed up an escalator to a comfortable sitting area and given cards with the letter H. There were racks of free magazines, and tea and coffee available, but we didn’t have much time to appreciate it all, as ‘everyone with boarding cards H please go to the desks’ was called. Within half an hour of arriving at the terminal, we had checked in, been through security, boarded, and were sitting up in the dining area drinking coffee and looking out at the activity on the docks 9 floors below us. No stress, no hassle, above all no bad tempered husband. To anyone used to airport procedures, this was a complete revelation!
