The trick is to make sure you are flying before you step onto the plane.
That is why they have Wetherspoons at airports.

I went on a Dutch Bulb Field day trip back in May 1968, I flew out of Southend Airport but I went to Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam. This was with Channel Airways in a Victors 812 Golden Viscount with 4 Turboprop Engines.
Not to worry you, but on the return the plane landed in a heavy thunderstorm and aquaplaned down the runway and crashed going over the bank at the end of the runway and nearly going over the Southend Victoria railway line.
Luckily everyone got out alive.

Thanks its the 60 mins sitting in a steel tube that has no right to be airborne is my concern !!1
I know its the safest way to travel ....... but following Southend I'm bound to have Kevin Bond on board and he will take us down over the Channel ( Only joking KB if reading , I'm still one fan on your side )
I see wizz air are now or soon will be flying out of southend, that’s another 14 a week out of southend, more noise for the residents.
Thats One of the reasons I didn't buy in Leigh about 11 years ago. It was obvious the Airport would be a success.....Which means more and more flights......Still I have had plenty of guests from Europe this summer, so the Airport works for me..... And all the independent local businesses I recommend to them.
Not a total success, however.When it started up, just before the London Olympics there were two Easyjet flights a day from Barna to Southend.For a couple of years now there's just been the one,getting in pretty late at night.

I've tried to convince plenty of Catalans of the charms of Southend rather than London in my time.I always prefer to spend my own hard earned in SOS rather than London if possible.With just one flight a day to and from Barcelona it's more difficult.Just saying.
Most of the Spaniards I know (whether Catalan or not) seem more interested in visiting London than SOS (can't think why).
As you seem to have realised, my complaint was against EJ rather than London SEN airport.Though I see its owner appears to be in a spot of bother.
