After a whirlwind tour of Cologne and an excellent hot dog (read about that here!) I headed back to Cologne airport about 3 hours before my flight. This is generally a bit longer than I’d usually allow myself for a short-haul flight, however on this occasion I had good reason. I was flying Business Class!

My journey to Cologne actually started with a drive to Audley End station in Cambridgeshire and CrossCountry’s first service of the day from Cambridge to Stansted Airport.
