Squashing the last of my stuff into the suitcases was interesting. I was praying that the bags wouldn't be overweight! The shuttle I booked to the airport was early and cost only 1/4 the taxi fare on the way in. I said thank you prayers as the bags sailed in with almost 3kg to spare! I've had some wifi and a coffee here at Charles de Gaulle airport and there's a big bird sitting outside, so now I get my first ride on an A380! I'm hoping I've got an aisle seat but not sure about that, as it's different from where I had booked the seat. Oh well, a seat is a seat!
At Changi airport, 8.45am, waiting for my last flight home. The A380 is amazing: such a graceful bird. It doesn't seem to get up much speed at all before it's off the ground and it climbs slowly; it's much less noisy than other big aircraft. I was delighted to see that the LEGO Movie was just starting, so I watched that and got a lot more of the little hidden lines the second time around: what a fun movie! I had a window seat, which I didn't want because I hate having to disturb people to climb over them; next to me was a very tall young man, so there was no way of getting past those long legs without asking him and the aisle guy to move. However, I only did that once, after my dinner and glass of wine; then back in my seat, I popped a couple of Tamaze, settled down under my blanket and eye shades and woke up to the rustling and noise of breakfast, 7 hours later!
Boarding - see you in Sydney1!
