Just waiting here at the airport, like a very patient (and slightly overcaffeinated) statue.
Sometimes I wonder – does anyone ever realise what taxi drivers actually go through behind the scenes?
Today’s episode:
Flight was supposed to land around 2PM – nice and early, all good.
Then… plot twist! Diverted to Birmingham.
I hit the road towards BHX, but halfway there – near Hinckley – the passenger messaged:
“We’re not getting off the plane… might be flying back to East Midlands.”
So I pulled over in Hinckley and waited like a loyal Labrador.
30 minutes later – confirmed: flight’s coming back to East Midlands.
Turned around, headed back, and… here I am. Still waiting.
Honestly, I think I deserve frequent flyer points just for following planes on the ground. ✈️🚗
But hey – part of the job, right?
