EBACE Geneva 29th May 2018

A bit of a last minute trip this year as, for one reason or another, we seemed to forget about EBACE so it was a late booked day trip only. Most of the usual cohorts for this trip were erstwhile occupied so it was just the three of us that travelled together. Buster, Dog and Nay.

The show static had moved a bit further out this year which made it a tad easier from landing to see most things. Views from the cafe area were still similar to usual. We didn't go in so no doubt missed a couple bits inside and maybe the odd one or two outside.

The following were noted whilst relaxing over a few beers and a natter on a lovely sunny day.

On the walk back to the terminal we were rather pleased to catch the only Baltic CS that eluded us in Riga.

We'd had a heads up earlier in the afternoon that EZY had binned our flight so we headed off to see what was what. As expected, they had. Bugger. After all the kerfuffle was sorted we boarded the EZY coach transfer to Lyon for a short nights stay before an 0710 departure from Lyon to Gatwick!

It was getting on for midnight when we got to the hotel so the planned nightcap was binned in favour of kip. We were all cream crackered.

Up early for our flight, the EZY8416, which was operated by OE-IJW.

Nothing to trouble the scorers there.

Arriving at the North terminal at Gatwick we found a seat and stayed airside for a couple of hours to let the rush hour pass. It was also a good excuse to catch up on some slack frames.

Then it was the train to Luton and a very quick circuit before LB had to head off to work. Luckily Dog and Nay were both rostered off. Hehehe.

Looking back it was probably one of the better EBACEs for a few years
