My flight was supposed to take off twenty minutes ago, but we are still in the airport lounge. I have just seen the incoming flight touch down, so we should at least have a plane to take off in.
However the connection time in Ljubljana was already pretty tight - just over an hour - and I reckon we will have lost at least half of that. I comfor myself with the thoughts that fortunately Ljubljana is a small airport, and also I would bet that Adria will hold the Brussels flight for those of us trying to make that connection, rather than deal with the need to find food and accommodation for us.
Well, we'll see...

The bad news: Brussels flight due to take off from Ljubljana at 1830; my incoming flight landed at 1838.
The good news: Adria being a rather small airline, it is the same plane going to Brussels as got me here; so I will get home this evening!

So, on an afternoon when I am being bumped around by a peculiarly named small airline, wondering if I will reach my destination, I happen to be listening to The Faceless Ones, a 1967 Doctor Who story about people disappearing from aeroplanes owned by a peculiarly named small airline.
I just thought you should know.

The signs in the famous Adria plane on which I have spent much of today are in English, Slovenian, and one other language.
A Special Prize for the first person to guess what the third language is.
