Less Than 2 Hours to Go to SYD

Well the flight wasn’t nearly as bad as I dreaded. No doubt due to the comfort of being in a Polaris business class cabin.

Here’s a quick sum up.

On time departure from Houston at 8:25a on the 12th … flight duration estimated as 17 hours by the cockpit crew.

Drinks and warm nuts as soon as we were leveled off at altitude.

Dinner service soon after … really quite delicious.

A couple of movies to entertain ourselves.

Wi-fi … pretty good speed for social media, email, and internet browsing … free thanks to UA’s partnership with T-Mobile, our carrier.

Time to catch some zzz’s … made all the more comfortable due to the Polaris PJs we were given upon request.

Lost 13 December somewhere over the Pacific while we were sleeping … thanks to the vagaries of the International Date Line.

Up and at ‘em after about 5 hours of zzz’s … with about 5.5 hours to go to reach SYD.

Another movie … some writing … some photo processing.

Now, with less than two hours to go, getting ready for the breakfast service.

More when we get to Australia.Leer más
