English Diary: I am at the Heathrow Airport. 20220506 #2-85

Hello, welcome to my channel. This is the Nomadonomado English diary of the 6th of May 2022.

As I am recording this episode, I am at the airport. I am going to fly to Japan via Zurich, Switzerland. The departure time of my flight is 8:40 in the morning. I had booked a taxi to pick me up at four and the taxi turned up on time. 

The journey to the airport was smooth. There was no traffic and it took one hour and forty minutes to get to the airport.

Despite the relatively early morning, there were a few people at the airport but going through the security was quick enough. 

Yesterday morning, after online checking in, I downloaded the app for uploading the documents that the Japanese government requires. A couple of hours after I submitted my documents, the app turned green and I got the QR code. 

When I checked in the flight with Swiss Air this morning, the lady asked me to show the QR cord and let me go after checking it. It was quite easy and smooth. 

The gate of my flight hasn’t been shown yet. So I bought a sandwich and water and had breakfast. 

It was sad to say goodbye to my mother in law. I had such a nice time with my family in law in England that it was almost painful to leave. But it’s time to move now that I can visit my family in Japan for the first time in two years. 

Alright, that’s all for now. I will post more episodes later if I can, but probably the next episode will be from Japan. 

Thank you for listening and if you are interested in learning English, don’t forget to check the English script on my website, nomadonomado.com.

Thank you again. And I will talk to you soon from Japan, maybe. Until then, goodbye.
