We had an easy morning, packing and cleaning up, until our taxi came at 12 pm to take us to the airport so that we would have plenty of time before our 3:45 pm flight.
Except for the fact that the flight was due to leave at 13:45!!!! We found the Ryanair check-in counter; there was a long queue and one person seemed to be holding everybody up. We quickly realised that there was no way that we could wait for our turn and still be on time, especially as now it was about 12:30 pm and the check-in for our flight was to close at 12:45 pm. My wife did her crying act on a few people who allowed us to jump right to the front, and then we were checking in... or not: the representative was saying that we needed some form in order to enter Israel, despite the fact that we are Israelis. Eventually she called a supervisor and allowed us to check in without further problems.
We then raced through the hand luggage check and passport control, then eventually found our boarding gate. We still had plenty of time. Eventually boarding began, although as I always say, there's no hurry as the plane isn't going to take off without us.
And take off we did. The flight seemed to go reasonably fast, and before we knew it, we had touched down at Ben Gurion airport.
