First - thanks to CPS parking, a pleasant, efficient service as before.
So organised; drive up to terminal, take luggage out of car (wave goodbye to it, as next time you see it, it's in your cabin); hand over car keys to pleasant driver, walk into terminal.
Arrived early, about 11am, as warned (by P+O e mail, thanks) that traffic may be heavy due to boatshow. relaxed in terminal with complimentary magazines.
