We’re at Heathrow about to board our A380 to Singapore (flight EK002). We managed to score emergency row seats so should be a bit more comfortable.

Sad to leave Europe but happy to be on our way home with a few days R&R in Singapore.

Edit: flight to Dubai stop-over complete. Pretty easy really, currently 01:30 local time. The A380 is very quiet in the cabin, very impressed. The crew prefer them to anything else too. Forgot just how cool the Dubai airport is…

30mins before 7hr flight to Singapore (groan). Got more exit row seats though so that’s good. Boeing 777 this time.

Blog post coming soon.

“It’s only money” we told ourselves along with, “we can always earn more” followed by “how often are we going to be in perhaps the wealthiest place in the world?”. So with that, the credit card was truly awakened!
