After a hectic working week of struggling to get loose ends tied up, ongoing projects handed over and trying to get as many orders as possible in ahead of my annual leave, this was a much needed break!
The flight itself didn't go as smoothly as usual though...
- I requested a window seat at check in and got allocated a H seat, now being a 3-4-3 seat row aeroplane I didn't think anymore of it but on boarding it became obvious H was an aisle seat :-(
- We departed late - no big deal I suppose but when you've a 7 hour flight ahead you do just want to get on with it!
- My media screen didn't work and didn't until 3.5 hours into the flight.
- The lunch menu was a choice of either chicken smothered in 'killer pepper' sauce or lamb curry (I am allergic to peppers and I don't like lamb so avoid eating it where possible)
- The headsets were collected 15 mins before landing meaning I missed the end of the film I was watching (strangely on the return leg I was allowed to wear them right up until we landed!)
Seriously though, the instances above made the flight less comfortable than it could have been but I made it to Dubai safe and sound with several complimentary G&T's consumed and the prospect of a week of sun, relaxation and exploration ahead of me - that certainly made it the highlight of an otherwise very stressful and exhausting week!
