A380 Airbus home!
Nov. 28th, 2007 09:11 amHome. Familiar sights, familiar scents, the damp chill of a humid Australian summer and the crickets already chirping.
[At Chiangi Airport, 8pm Tuesday night]
Ooh. I got to fly the new A380 airbus! Damn. If I'd known it was going to be the A380, I'd have upgraded to business class for the entirely flat-bed business class experience.
I got almost zero sleep on the flight from London to Singapore. Not unexpected, although a little annoying. I ended up watching Stardust and The Bourne Identity. I'm hoping that the flight to Sydney will have at least Ratatouille - which I would really like to see.
[on A380 Airbus]
Okay. I have decided that I am never flying anything but the Singapore Airlines A380 airbus ever again. Oh. Em. Gee.
Business-class seats are about a yard wide. I had to walk past business class to reach my section of economy on the upper deck, and even that's pretty swish. A ten-inch private screen to watch anything I want (hi-def, too), upgrates and funky things and...
...I've just spotted a USB port. If I had a USB cable, I might be able to play my episodes of Stargate Atlantis through my laptop and onto the screen before me. Oooooh...
But back to the funky things and the entertainment plan. No Ratatouille (alas, it seems that that's December's entertainment program and the A380 is still operating on November's). However, it does have Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End, which is blurbed thusly: "The world's end isn't a bad place to get stuck, espeically if you're in the company of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom."
*gurgles*
Anyway, I think this will be a rather nice flight.
[back home]
It was a rather nice flight. However, I have had maybe three hours of sleep in the last 36, which, by the end of today, will be 3 hours of sleep in the last 48.
I'm beginning to feel a little dizzy sitting down.
Overall it was an awesome trip and I did enjoy going to the places I went and meeting the people I met - both new and old. I'm just glad to be home again for a while. Travelling becomes tiring. I'll try to get the last photos up in the next 48 hours.
This is the travelling Sel signing off for 2007. Thank you very much, goodnight!
