Today I fly to Singapore on Emirates. There was a little hiccup on the 1800 departure of the first leg to Brisbane. There had been a horrendous rainstorm on my way to the airport and the weather was very unsettled. The wind changed direction as our aircraft was making its way to the runway. We had to change the direction of the takeoff which meant taxiing the length of the runway to do a turn.
Fortunately everything went smoothly thereafter. With a short overnight before my next flight to Kuching, I couldn’t afford any delays.
Emirates was up to its usual form with their inflight catering. The meals on the first leg and the continuing leg from Brisbane to Singapore were impressive.
