Back from Germany at last! It wasn't a big trip really I suppose, since it's only a hop and a skip away by plane. Still, this flight seemed a bit riskier than normal - it was an EasyJet flight, which leaves from CDG terminal 3 which is a muddy hut hidden somewhere behind the main airport.

There were several bad omens looming, with the first being that the terminal still had its christmas tree up. Not that I take my tree down on the 12th day of christmas (not too bad this year, came down on the 18th Jan!), but you'd think that an airport wouldn't take any chances. The next thing was that my boarding pass showed the 22nd of January 2026, which meant either I was in for a long wait or the Y2K bug was still on EasyJet's To Do list. Then the flight attendants safety talk seemed *extremely* detailed. The way they demonstrated the 'BRACE! BRACE!' announcement seemed a bit too earnest I think! Unfortunately the speakers dropped out at the point they telling us about how to inflate the life jackets, but since we wouldn't be flying over any sea it was possibly not a problem!

Anyway, everything else went ok, and since it was such a short trip EasyJet didn't have to do an 'out of fuel, glide the last 50k' manouever.

One thing I thought was funny though was the sick bags - they've got an advert for photograph development, and the logo is 'Don't be sick, Come to Klick!', good advice if I ever heard it. I did wonder if people read this *while* they were being sick, and what the legal recourse would be if they had accidentally printed the adverts upside down...
