• HK to KL to MLB to FI

    Sep 13–14 in Australia ☀️ 23 °C

    Flying Air Asia from Hong Kong to Melbourne via Kuala Lumpur.
    Jacqui and I are both leaving today. I'm flying home to Flinders, Jac is having a few days in Singapore before she goes home. We taxi to the airport together but separate as we are in different departure terminals.

    Economy class in an economy airline. I have pre-ordered and paid for meals (and water!) which was a good move as there wasn't enough food for everyone!
    I leave HK around 12.30 pm and fly 4 hours to Kuala Lumpur airport. Layover of 3 hours in KL.
    Then around 8 hours from KL to Melbourne, getting in around 5.30 am.
    I luckily have a spare seat beside me but I still don't get much sleep.

    I have about 6 hours before my flight to Flinders at midday so I pay Park Royal for a 3 hour day room. Lovely bed and 2 hours sleep plus shower. Well worth it.
    Taxi to Essendon airport then fly home to Steve and dogs.
    Niece Kate was on the plane. She'd flown down from Darwin.
