I get the notification to check into my flight. Visit the BA page, enter my passenger information. Seat 19A. Very happy that I’ve got myself a window seat.

I check with Joe where he and Vad are sitting, maybe we’ll be near each other. He hasn’t checked in yet so I sit with him while he does it. His seating plan of the plane looks different to mine when I picked my seat. I panic. Rachel, are you certain you booked the correct flight?

I check my boarding pass. It reads ‘World Traveller Plus’. I’ve only gotten a free upgrade to Premium Economy! Joe and Vad could have been a little happier for me if I’m honest.

5pm UK time, 10:30pm IST on Thursday, Suman called. We had finally had all the information we needed to get a payment processed at HSBC which meant I would need to go into the office and into the HSBC Windsor branch before heading to the airport.
