Default flights booked,3 weeks we,re out of here.

Hi all,

Just to say i,ve booked the flights this morning and we leave on 9th Oct for Perth We are flying with emerates on one of the brand spanking new 777,s.
It,s supposed to have a wicked in flight entertainment system each and foot massagers (seriously).

The only downside was the price,because we,ve left it late to book it,s cost more one way than it did for a return ticket each last year.I only got the visa a couple of weeks ago so my hands were tied,never mind it,s all good.

It,s getting pretty real now i finish work in 2 weeks.

HI Dave, really stoked for you getting to finally go, but big favour, post us all how comfy the new 777 plane is when you get to Aus. I never sleep on planes and my other half suffers badly with joint stiffness and muscle carmps from the confined seating space so we thought we might upgrade to business class but if this plane is 'nice' it's another option , tho have a few doubts about the choice of veggie menu and in flight films on emirates screens!!

Thanks in advance, (nosey!!) Claire

Did we meet at one of the North West meets? Do you have two little girls? We have a girl and a boy, but I don't think they were with us on that occasion. Ian is already in Perth and I leave on 5 October.

All the best to you and your family.
