Nightmare check-in at @HelsinkiAirport. I may have saved the company €250 by flying @BA instead of @finnair but I'm paying the price now. 9:12 PM Jun 1st via TwitBird
Back at @HelsinkiAirport for a flight to London. I hate those mornings - especially Saturday - when the alarm clock rings at 5am *yawn* 8:36 PM Jun 1st via TwitBird
