Dubai...Briefly

After about a 13 hours flight we arrived in Dubai about half an hour early.  The airport was quiet but that was hardly surprising as it was about 4:00am. The flight had been quite smooth except for a brief period of turbulence around the tip of India. The Premium Economy seats were really comfortable with plenty of space...much, much better than Economy class. The food was quite nice too and the service was good...except for a rough start when they tipped the tray of drinks off the top of the trolley, smashing a full bottle of red wine...not all that easily cleaned up when all you have is a dustpan and brush and a roll of kitchen paper.

Despite all the pluses of Premium Economy, we still didn't get much sleep. The plane itself is still rather noisy and added to that was a baby that cried from time to time and someone nearby that snored...although the rest of the passengers didn't realise it, they were probably lucky that I didn't fall soundly asleep because if I had, I would have probably made things a lot worse with my own snoring...

After a bit over an hour on the ground, it was time to re-board our plane...next stop London.
