So here I am in another airport departure lounge. Yes, they do all look pretty much the same. Still, if I am going to be stuck in Darkest Somerset for a while, I figured I might as well find out what the local escape route had to offer. While this is a fairly small airport, it does have international connections, and not just cheap flights to Europe. Continental flies to New York from here. Of course I’d have to change to get to San Francisco, so I’m probably still better off going to London and flying United.

Possibly of more interest is the Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. That’s a Star Alliance service, and I’m betting that you can connect from there to Helsinki. I shall investigate that later. In the meantime, as there doesn’t appear to be anything urgent on the email, I think I shall take a wander round. I shall check into Twitter from the phone every so often.
