And how did we get here? Well… We took a flight with Emirates from
Nice to Dubai.
That took roughly 6 hours. During the flight we had lunch and
entertained ourselves with movies… We both watched The Bourne Legacy (2012) and
we were both very disappointed. It is a bigger disappointment that The
godfather three… to be honest it seems to not even have a plot.. Nor an actual ending…
if I didn’t know better I would think that it was a bad reproduction of a Dan Brown
fan fiction… The only thing that resembles the fourth film with the rest is the
name…
So, we had an hour and a half at Dubai’s International Airport. I Enjoyed
a Chai latte and a little sightseeing tour but saved the tax free shopping spree
for our return flight.
Take two of our journey was long and a bit painful… 13 whole hours
from Dubai to Sydney. However food was good, TV was bigger with more films to
choose from, plane was newer and alcohol per usual gratis! But we didn’t have a
window seat so nowhere to lean on for a few hours of sleep.
Finally arriving at Sydney airport 22.30 local time, we were worn-out…
not looking forward to queues and bag scanning but fortunately it seems late
arrival means no queues and because we were staying with Paul’s brother they seemed
to trust us enough to let us go straight through. Australia, Sydney, Freedom!
Tips: If you have the opportunity to choose seats in
advance with online check in this web-site can be very useful for guiding you
to the best ones! Seat maps for all airplanes at www.seatguru.com . However you
still have to check in early! Do it as soon as you are allowed! We didn’t think
about it and didn’t have much to choose from… lesson learnt!
