... the small gate. We did take some time to shop around at the usual stores within and grab a slice of pizza. Boarding the plane seemed to be a race as people swarmed the gate. The plane was loud because Ryan Air advertises and sells merchandise the entire time. I did manage to sleep a bit though.
