We got it.
We caught the plane to Spain!
We managed to make check-in JUST. The good fellow who checked us in was approached immediately after and asked “Haven’t you closed YET?”
I expect the good fellow took his supervisor aside and said
“Look, at these people. Look at them. Tormented by sleep deprivation, beset by ill-health, failed by our public transport system …how could I possibly deny them passage to the warm delights of Spain?”
