Another impressive experience at #DublinAirport , 7 minutes from entering the terminal to getting through security. Looks like a cosy Irish Pub is planned for T2. Oh yes, and it's starting to look a lot like #Christmas

I was in Frankfurt for a quick visit with #AerLingus this week.

While there I visited my favourite local eatery .. the #BaselerEck on #BaselerPlatz . The walls are adorned with stickers etc from airlines going back years. It has been a haunt of flight crews for a long time
