Today is the day that we get picked up for our holiday to Mauritius.
The driver was on time, but what a nightmare, just to get out of Sidcup, it took us nearly an hour from our home to do 3 miles. Just ridiculous, as always we had given extra time, but this had eaten into that a lot.
Thankfully the M25 for the most part was reasonable, and we end up being about 20 minutes later arriving at Heathrow then we had planned.
We were flying with Emirates and they are now trying to do the check-in, electronically, of course it didn’t fully work, so we ended up checking in as normal.
At least this time we had no issues with Claire’s passport and could be checked in, not like the incident on Boxing Day a few years ago – see earlier blog posting.
Once checked in and through security we were able to relax and get something to eat before our departure to Dubai at 22:15.
We had booked premium economy seats for this part of the flight on an A380 aircraft and were able to board quite early on and the seats definitely had good leg room, which is great for me and we had window seats to.
