Up just after 5.30 to be checked and waiting for the airport coach at 6.40. Once we arrived at terminal 4 and easily went through bag drop and Immigration we headed to a restaurant for a light breakfast. Captn D and I shared crumpets and Foggy had toast on white bread - how very English of us.
Time to board and I sheepishly head to Business Class where I find my lovely little pod at 18 A. It is a window seat and as I look around, see that none of the middle 2 seats are filled. The 6 1/2 hour flight is extra comfortable and I am treated exceptionally well by all staff. I’m such a relative newbie at the absolute delights of Business Class that I still feel like I should be pinching myself to make sure it is really me in the right seat! There is even a lounge bar that I ended up making my way to mid flight so that I could gather up a cheeky little Chilean Sav Blanc to take back to my pod. I could have had my drink brought to me but I wanted to check out the lounge. Managed to watch ‘Instant Family’ which I enjoyed, the ‘Ladies in Black’ andgit most of the way through a third movie I can’t remember the name of asi dozed through quite a bit of it until it was time to get ready fir landing. Food was really good and way too much of it. Having arrived safely at Doha it was then a very quick hi and goodbye to my dearest travel buddies as their flight to Sydney was starting to board. We’ve had a brilliant holiday and it is only when I later look back over my blog and photosthat I will really be able to appreciate how much we have fitted in over the last three and a half weeks. My flight to Adelaide will be boarding soon and I am hopeful of some quality sleep during the 16 plus hours flight. Qatar airlines are brilliant and I’d love the opportunity to fly with them again, Business Class ofcourse...
Hope you’ve enjoyed coming on this trip with me and once I’ve had time to do the laundry, pay some bills and catch my breath, I will need to start considering my next adventure.
Have thoroughly enjoyed tagging along for the ride
