Pushback was delayed 1 hour 40 minutes due to the late arrival. Took off and headed out towards the coast of Western Sahara, and followed the coast up to the Morroccan resort of Agadir, and across the Med to Faro where we made an unscheduled landing to remove some drunken passengers.

I was pleased to see they were suitably man-handled by the police in Faro!

After 2 hours 5 minutes in Faro, we headed out to the runway and began our journey up to San Sebastien and across the Bay of Biscay to Bordeaux, from there it was straight up to St Helier and across to Torquay, passing over Bristol and Chester where we began our descent into Manchester.

I fly this route up to twice a week and the agents in Manchester are useless. Again I had to wait thirty five minutes for an agent to come and operate the airbridge. The captain was livid with her.
