Greetings from the bmi lounge in Dublin airport! Just thought I would make the most of the free Wi-Fi and post an update for the first leg of my journey to Costa Rica. Before the images here are a few details about Leg 1.

DETAILS

So here are a few images so far:

Taken from the Level 13 car park at Manchester Airport.

Terminal 1 departures at Manchester Airport, this used to be before security.

To get to the gates you have to go through Duty Free...Interesting sales idea.

Boarding pass for EI205. 

This mornings departures complete with a few LH flights affected by the pilots strike.

The aircraft which flew me to Dublin EI-DPG.

Definitely better than Ryanair, quite impressed with EI after my first flight with them.

About to start the take off roll from runway 05L.

Coming into a cold Dublin.

So for the rest of the day I shall be in the lounge relaxing and helping myself to a few beers to while the time away. If the weather was better I may have made my way round to a usual photography spot at Dublin or gone into the city but its pretty cold and miserable so I will skip both of those options!

The next update maybe this evening once I arrive into London Heathrow providing there is free Wi-Fi at the hotel.
