19th May – 21st May 2018 On the plane, it was quite empty. It didn’t take either of us long to fall asleep, which was good. We napped for the whole journey, even when the man at the window climbed over us to get out. What we didn’t realise was that he had moved seats, …

24th April – 29th April 2018 Our flight from Sydney left on time, which was handy, and it wasn’t as long as we anticipated. The whole journey was around 6 hours, but as it isn’t classed as long-haul, we didn’t get any food. We were grateful at this point that we had bought the food …
