Today we are leaving Scotland and flying to Dublin. I scheduled a car to pick us up at 9:30 and drive us to the airport. We got to the airport and got checked in and went through security. Then when we looked to see what gate our flight was leaving from, it said the flight was delayed 1 hour and 10 minutes. They also don’t post the gate number until about 45 minutes before the flight. So Jay and I found somewhere to sit and wait. At 12:25, they posted the gate number (#16) and we walked to the gate and waited again.
When it was time to board the plane, they checked our passports, and I had digital boarding passes on my phone. On the walk to the plane, we had to go down a few steps and then walk out on the tarmac to the plane where we had to go up about 4 steps to get on the plane. It was a smaller regional jet with propellers. The seat configuration was 2 across on each side of the aisle. The flight was only 1 hour and 30 minutes. We landed and had to walk down about 8 steps to get off the plane. Then we walked and got on a bus which took us to the terminal. Going through immigration was not much of a line and we were through in no time. We then had to wait on out luggage. I had a car and driver waiting for us to take us to the airport.
It was about a 40-minute drive to the hotel. We were able to get checked into our room where we rested before going out for dinner. Then back to the hotel.
