0235 departure on time from Brisbane Airport to start our 2017 European trip. Warren manages to get an aisle seat which makes him happy and we have a few short naps on the first leg to Singapore. The flight takes 8 hours and we arrive at 0830 Singapore time.
Misty when we landed. We had about an hour to stretch our legs before we were back on the Boeing 777-300 for the 7 hour flight to Dubai.
Another hour in the airport before boarding a A380 for the final leg to Birmingham. Unfortunately it was another hour before we left after a medical evacuation required 15 bags to be found and offloaded. With 600 passengers, this was no easy task for the ground crew.
We didn’t make up any time during the 8 hour flight so we landed an hour late in Birmingham, where we were met by our friend Jane. A long wait for the bags was not great after the 27 hours since leaving Brisbane.
