Leaving on a jet plane to … ummm

Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go…

Well that’s enough John Denver! So what an awesome start, not! Sorry sir we haven’t a seat for you on the flight you have paid for, shit! But sir if you take this flight via Dubai we will get you in 4hrs late but give you €600 [£484] ummmm. OK! Haha thanks BA please make this mistake more often and I could RTW for free. So yeh it’s all good so far as I also get to experience Emirates from Dubai to Singapore. Oh and not a lot but £10 to spend before I get on the flight.

The dinner on BA was very good I went for chicken tagine with a glass of very tasty red wine [French merlot] this after 2 London prides, well have to get my money’s worth. For desert a delicious chocolate flan which complimented the wine. Fair play BA top marks on the meal. BTW should you have any special dietary requirements such as vegetarian then when checking in online you can specify this.

So a couple hours kip and then breakfast and well BA you had so much potential after a great dinner but sadly an oversized egg and Mayo wrap with a sausage in the middle is not a substitute for a cooked english. This was with a mango and orange smoothie and some gluten free berrie bar. Sorry it’s a disappointment :(.

So what felt like a 2Km walk along Dubai’s terminal to get to my departure gate, navigating past all the shops on the way. On the plus side when I got there I found that they use 3 pin UK style power plugs so chance to power up the kit and also jump on the free WiFi.

The Emirates flight was excellent, if you can afford to fly with them then do it as the on-board service is fantastic and the entertainment system had a massive selection of films. There were plugs to power devices and also a USB port !!!! mental loved it. Only downside was the woman sat next to me as instant on taking up as much room as possible. The food and drink they couldn’t serve you enough and it was much nicer and better quality than what BA had provided.

I watch ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ which I highly enjoyed and also tried to sleep. Well Anyway its 00:35 here in Singapore and so time for sleep.
