our trip started pretty brilliantly. Greg got home an hour before we had to leave and frantically did some last minute gardening, finishing 1.5 seconds before we had to go to the airport! There were some minor issues - I'd left out a pair of jeans, socks and sweatshirt for Greg but neglected to include a t-shirt and jocks... he was able to fish them out of his backpack before we checked in. I thought it was hilarious and Bella's intense embarrassment made it even funnier!
Jetstar impressed me by checking our luggage all the way through to Copenhagen and departing on time, despite the late storm! We arrived into Changi airport and found our way onto Air France with no problems. I'd booked us bulk head seating so we had slightly more leg room than if we'd been in regular seating - the best option for us as Bella is too young for emergency exit seats! It wasn't too bad for such a long flight and the wine was pretty good!
Arriving into Paris we had a tight connection for our flight to Copenhagen, and there was some drama putting the stairs onto the aircraft, which meant we had to walk VERY fast to gate 49. We got there...and found we were at the wrong gate. I had mis-read the board on arrival and in fact we were at gate 26. I'm not quite sure how this happened as I double checked with the helpful Air France guy hanging around the arrival board. Anyway Gate 26 was the exact opposite end of the terminal and even though we RAN we arrived as the flight was closed.
Luckily they were able to put us onto the next flight, so we are just hanging around the airport using our 15 minutes of free wifi!! Next post from Copenhagen...
And already you are having adventures! travel is great for curve ball practice.
