Our flight left Istanbul a bit late and we landed in Gatwick about 8 pm which didn't leave much time to catch the 9::15 pm to Glasgow. We had booked a cheap night in an hotel for safety but we just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
First we had a long walk to get our luggage - one case took ages to arrive - then we had to queue to get through passport control, then get the shuttle train to the North Terminal and the lift up to the Departures floor and run all the way to the British Airways section where we went to two wrong desks before finding the one that could.change our tickets. Luckily the flight was delayed and we were able to get on it so we ran all the way to the gate. Everything was closed and we were SO thirsty by then. The drinks machines would not take our Euro coins and we had no pound coins ... it was very frustrating!
It was nearly midnight by the time we got home. There was no hot water and no food in the fridge so we just fell into bed and slept like .... well, like sailors.
