Confirmed & Upgraded

….Made you look!! 👀

The LONG haul journey as it unfolded…

Yes, we are confirmed… I have an aisle seat and no one next to me and lucky Mark has been upgraded to business! A dream come true for him… The luck of the draw when travelling on Staff Travel. The main thing being we are off on our first leg of the 34 hour journey to the UK 🇬🇧
Apart for having ‘Mr. Cough & Splutter’ across from me on the Singapore Sling segment, the 8 hours was fairly painless.
After the caramel chocolate ice cream, Tim-Tam & double chocolate cookie I’d figured I was chock-o-blocked out! 🥴

Bad news on arrival at Singapore with our London leg delayed by another 3 hours, making a total of 8 more hours waiting & hoping we board! 😩 …things went from bad to worse when we discovered the chances of getting on the flight ✈️ tonight was diminishing fast! Using the extra time to research Plans A, B & C 🫨

Looking on the bright side - we used the shower at the transit hotel - at $20 it was the most expensive wash 🧼 I’ve ever had but worth the Singapore cents!

Waiting, Waiting…

…It’s currently 1am 🕐 and officially 24 hours with little to no sleep 😴

Finally: Yes 🙌🏾 All is well that ends well! We waited it out and got on board one of the biggest birds in the sky: the A380. Such a relief 😮‍💨

Next stop…London Heathrow ✈️Baca selengkapnya
