# Boarding for any plane
is like herding cats.

And I've pretty much given up on Ryanair - when you factor in travel to Prestwick, taxes, fees, etc., it works out cheaper to fly from a professional airline from Edinburgh instead.

# More like Meerkats
The way people bob up and down every time they think the gate will be opening for boarding any second now

# I once got to the gate 10 mins before the plane was due to leave
Had to run like hell, accompanied by member of staff, and still made it onto the plane.

# RIGHT.
This one time I got to the airport, the plane had ALREADY TAKEN OFF, so they strapped me into a helicopter and flew after the plane, then chucked me out over the wing.

The other passengers had to haul me in through the emergency exit.

Which was nice.

# PAH
Once the plane had *already* landed at its destination and I got on a FOLLOWING plane and caught up with it several hours later
