Early departure

I got to the airport about 3h 15m before my flight and when I checked in they asked if I wanted to go on an earlier flight. I figured why not, reduces the risk of getting stuck here or missing the connection and I can hang around in Madrid as well as here.

So I'm now on the 16:35 flight to Madrid. A bt stressed through security but I've made it and they haven't announced a gate yet anyway, even though it's 16:10.
