Picture At Night Is Of The Landing Coming Into Singapore, All The Boats Lit Up.
Picture With Skyscrapers On A Hazy Morning Is Melbourne.
Your Probably Thinking Whats All This With A Trip Report, Well Let Me Share That This Was Requested By Don Chromeleone, Mart, And Coley As There Avid Boeing Fans. Sorry Boys No Regs Were Collected As That's Not For Me. SORRY LADS.
This Journey Was Leaving Birmingham On The 2ND Feb 2010 And Arriving In Australia On The 4Th Feb, With Only 2 hours In Dubai And 2 Hours In Singapore Stopover For Refuelling And Crew Change.
Would Like To Share, The Journey To Australia Was VIA Dubai And Singapore, The Flight Booked Was With Emirates Airlines From Birmingham International Airport To Melbourne International Airport ,Australia. BearBmx Was Booked On The Evening Flight To Dubai With Emirates Airlines flight number EK 38 for a 2020 Departure Time, Aircraft Type Was A 777-300ER. The Flight Left 35 Min's Late For The 7 Hour Trip To Dubai, Whats 35 Min's When You Got 25 Hours Ahead Of You Eh, The Flight Was Smooth And The Inflight Food And Entertainment Was Good Also. The Load On This Flight Was Full As Not One Seat Was Empty, 400+ Passengers And This Aircraft Just Thunders Away On Take Off With Immense Power, Think If I'm Right It Was A Rolling Start As Soon As Be Got Onto The Runway, Truly Amazing Aircraft The Boeing 777-300ER.
The Seating Pitch Wasn't To Great And Not To Bad Either, Well It Is Economy Class And Not Business Class Bearwood, BearBmx Arrived Into Dubai On The 3rd Feb Around 8am (Dubai Time) And Had To Dash And Get To My Connecting Flight From Dubai To Singapore With Only An Hour Or So Between Them, Dubai Was Hot And Nice, Considering Birmingham Was Down With Minus Freezing Temperatures So The Heat Was A God Send, Praise The Lord. Dubai Airport Was Busy With Loads Of Passengers, It's A Huge Airport And The Walk From One Gate To The Next Was Away Away, Seem to Take Forever. Managed To Get To My Gate In Plenty Of Time For My Connection To Singapore, Was Looking At Exchanging Some Pounds Into Currency For The Trip, But The Rate Was Rubbish So Didn't Bother.
Soon As My Gate Was Located, The Search Was On For Showers To Use, But It Seemed They Was All In The Lounges For First And Business Class Passengers, So Onbound We Go To Singapore, BearBmx Had Pre Booked The Same Seat From Birmingham To Australia, Which Saved Alot Of Issues Of Relocation And Wondering Around Lost In The Aircraft.
The Flight From Dubai To Singapore Was Another 7 Hours And Went Smoothly With Only A Little Turbulence To Digest The Food, We Landed In Singapore At 9PM On The 3rd Feb With A Smooth Touchdown, All Passengers Had To Disembark The Aircraft In Singapore And Take All There Belongings With Them, Found A Lounge For All Class Passengers At Singapore Changi International Airport Called The "RainForest Lounge" Where You Could Take A Shower ETC To Liven Up A Bit And For Only 5GBP, BearBmx Recommends This Lounge, Staff All Seemed Rather Pleasant In Singapore.
BearBmx Rushes Back To The Gate For The 7.5 Hour Last Leg Of The Flight From Singapore To Melbourne, This Time My Seat Was Given To A Family And I Got The Emergency Exit Seat Over The Wing, Which Was Great As You Can Stretch Out As You Like, Got A Little Insight From The Elderly Couple Next To Me About What To Do In Australia. All They Said Was Wait Til You Feel The Heat, They Was Right. Flight From Singapore To Australia Was Smooth And I Managed To Get 4 Hours Sleep As Ive Not Had Any Sleep Since Leaving Birmingham At All, So A Little Tired I Was. Fast Forward All The Way To Landing At Melbourne And That's When A Few Words Were Exchanged With Customs And The All Clear Was Given And Australia BEARBMX Is In Your Country.
A Further 6 Hours Drive From Melbourne In Victoria To Griffith In New South Wales.
Dedicated To The Don, Mart, And Coley. Avid Boeing 777-300ER Fans.
Much Peace And Blessings To Each And All.
BearBmx.
