So, what happened today?

Why do they need to be first off the plane, you still need to queue for your baggage, that really fries my head.

If I’m going for less than a week I can get everything in carry on and not worry about checked luggage.

I’d find driving abroad very stressful! Whereas I love flying and am quite happy at airports as long as I get there early. But I agree that other people can be stressful. I fail to understand people who get right up to the security check and only then start to take off their coats, belts, take out their liquids (when necessary), iPad, empty their pockets etc. You’ve just spent at least 5-10 mins in the bloody queue. Do it then!
And on the plane people who recline their seats as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off, then spend most of the flight sitting upright watching films.

99% of the driving I do abroad is on motorway way so no biggie and I try and depart and arrive outside rush hour.

We have a skoda superb estate and a 510ltre roof box and still struggle to take enough for the two of us for a week

I don't have any fear of flying at all.
If I had to die, plane crash would probably be one of my favourite options, just screaming downwards and exploding in milliseconds; but the massively important point is that this must be on the way home. I'd be bloody livid if it was on the way out, after months of work.
