Ahhh, Willard's old friends welcome him to the Wilmslow lounge (the Globeground lounge for those fossils like Ken who've been travelling through Manchester Airport for 15 years). The staff always show a special interest in Willard's travels, and make sure he gets the VIB treatment he deserves!

Time for a sit down and a rest - Willard would do some planespotting - but there do not appear to be any planes at the moment.....

...in which case - time for some drinks from the bar, to ease the wait for our SAS flight.

And after a rather hectic boarding process (why don't people look where they are swinging their bags? Poor little Willard is only small, and has to keep ducking to avoid them in his customary perch on top of Ken's wheelie) Willard settles down into the seat that SAS have thoughfully reserved for him. In fact, once they recognise him, he's even brought a pillow!

.....And a new friend! The crew obviously thought Willard looked a little lonely, and so they brought him a SAS-branded travelling companion!
