    ADL to DRW

    11. April 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    An early flight today from Adelaide in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.

    Having checked out the security queue at ADL yesterday we knew it was going to be looong. So, we skipped the breakfast included in our room rate and walked to the terminal around 5:30a. Good timing. The queue was long(ish) but moving steadily. That changed pretty quickly for those who piled in behind us.

    The Embraer 190 that would be taking us to Darwin pulled up to the gate at 6:53a. Not a good omen for our 7:35a departure. We were indeed delayed for about 80 minutes … due to an “engineering issue.” Ugh!

    Once onboard, the flight was uneventful. Breakfast was served once the plane leveled off. We flew over varied scenery as we made our way north through the Red Center of Australia. Alas, my porthole was badly scratched … missed a lot of good photo ops … caught a few.

    The cockpit crew made up 20 minutes of the delay and we were only an our late when we landed at DRW.    Weiterlesen
