My lack of proper preparation for the event began to show as early as the morning of our travel to Heathrow with my not knowing about baggage allowances for the plane...A rough and ready weigh in on bathroom scales at home gave only some comfort so it was with some trepidation that we approached check in desk for our flight.
Suffice to say I was a few kg over the 32 allowed for my bike bag and thus what followed was:
a) transfer of stuff to hand luggage
b) us annoying other people in the queue by re-weighing/ extensive deliberations etc
I thought I dealt with situation quite well but maybe the 'panic' did effect me as a few minutes later whilst going through security I managed to drop my boarding pass through the metal rollers on the conveyor belt you put the trays/ bags on. Fortunately, there was no need to stop the whole queue and a man and a long piece of plastic combined to retrieve fallen item!
(Learning point - use bubble wrap in bike bag as Julie advised...)
