St Helier; Friday, 08 November, 2019

I had a quick journey down to Gatwick and through the airport. Nearly an hour before departure we already had a gate, and shortly after arriving there the team started boarded.

With the plane fully loaded we ended up pushing back 10 minutes before our scheduled time, and with only a very short taxi to the runway, and nothing ahead of us, we were taking off at the same time we were originally supposed to be pushing back.

In a jet it’s a very short flight to the Channel Islands, and barely minutes after the cabin crew had started service the pilot was making the 20 minutes to landing announcement and we were already starting our descent down into Jersey.In a jet it’s a very short flight to the Channel Islands, and barely minutes after the cabin crew had started service the pilot was making the 20 minutes to landing announcement and we were already starting our descent down into Jersey.

We landed 25 minutes ahead of schedule and with only hand luggage I was through the airport in a mater of minutes and straight into a taxi over to the hotel.

I arrived at the door to the hotel at the same time my flight was originally due to arrive, and was able to very quickly check in and head to my room.

After freshening up I popped out of the hotel to the harbour wall directly opposite from where there were excellent views out towards Elizabeth Castle, so I was able to get some good photos before heading back into the hotel and up to my room for an early night.
