• DC is away

    My reserved Uber was 10 minutes early. He must have known I would be ready! An early start but hey - I am on holiday! Every flight is full - so no upgrades today. Got away on time and good flying weather to first stop in BNE. A couple of hours in transit and then onto SYD. I have booked the Pullman in Mascot. I haven't stayed there before but the area is very familiar - very close to the station for an early trip to International. The plane from BNE to SYD was completely full and we were asked to place our wheely bags on their side on the overhead bins #funfact - we were on the only plane in the entire fleet that allows this! Arrived in Sydney super early so went to the lounge for a drink and some lunch. Their dishwashers were being upgraded so no glasses to be had - fizz in coffee cups - that's a new one! I hope the same isn't happening in the First Lounge tomorrow!! I took the air train to Circular Quay to take in sights that I can never get tired of. Back to Mascot and checked in. This Pullman is very good. They have given me a lovely room, choccies, and the exec lounge is pretty good - they are doing up the room upstairs but they have made a fist of the separate area downstairs #kudos. I am enjoying the food. Another early start tomorrow but a new place to experience - so looking forward to it!Read more
