‘Getting there is half the fun’. . .what acid-addled 1960s ad-man had come up with that little gem? The travelling part of any holiday jangled her last nerve. She was standing in the aisle, waiting for the priority boarders to finish adding the final touches to their handbag and seating arrangements. She could see her own airline-allocated seat and it was still 7 rows away, the middle seat in a row of three. She’d have preferred the aisle seat, but at an extra 8 quid each way, she was prepared to spend the 2 hour flight to Venice sandwiched between strangers. That £16 saved might even buy her a coffee at Florian, (but only if the band had the afternoon off and there was no additional music supplement).
