This is one that is known to all but not always followed.
When entering an aeroplane, yes it is an aeroplane not an airplane, just saying, always turn left.
Ohh space big screens and…
More bubbles.
Travelling with Nick on planes is somewhat annoying. He has this Pavlov’s dogs reaction to the white noise. As soon as those turbines start up he falls asleep. Yep sitting upright in his seat strapped down he is almost instantly asleep.
In the lie flat seats he will lay gently puffing out little snores only to rise Dracula like as soon as the food arrives.
So annoying is this habit on this trip rather than have to witness it from the centre ‘love seats’ I booked both of us in window seats, his behind mine. Oh the bliss of a hi-res screen a movie selection and on tap bubbles and almost no interruptions.
These turquoise clad angels have the most lovely manners and smiles.
Food is OK for airline food, particularly if you eat the Vietnamese options and joy of joys they have some specialist cocktails.
Day time flight to Saigon sit back and enjoy.
The layover in Saigon of 8 plus hours could have been a show stopper but the airline offer a special program where they whisk you off through immigration to an airport hotel. In truth the hotel is pretty basic but it is 34 degrees and humid and this airport hotel has a roof top pool and a bar.
It’s not a great photo but there is something a bit surreal about swimming in a pool watching a continuous stream of planes landing and of course with the ubiquitous glass of bubbles.
Next stop London.
