Woke up around 6.00am after an appalling nights sleep, not good prep for our day ahead really but there you go. Said goodbyes to Charl and got home and I went straight to work around 8.15am with a strict time limit of an hour which I kept to.
Got sorted and packed etc the rest of the morning whilst Tash was out seeing her mum and family. Clock was ticking down and Jess arrived to take us all to the airport and we somehow got the suitcases into the car and away we went. Journey was nice and easy as was everything in the airport, no issues with security and had a nice meal waiting. Waiter was a bit of a character.
Posted on Facebook and that went down well as you’d expect and then waited at our gate, and waited!! 5.25pm should have been our flight but we didn’t actually board until 6.00pm and then we just sat on the plane not doing anything!
This is really worrying. I’m typing this at 19.25 and we should have left two hours ago. We boarded late but we’ve been sat in sweltering conditions with no aircon for about 90 mins. He keeps trying to start up the engines and is resetting the electrics every now and then. I really think there’s a good chance we will have to get off and change planes. People are getting fidgety and anxious, we have a connecting flight too. That’s assuming we can get airborne. Fingers crossed.
Ok, it’s now 7.45pm and we’ve started moving. Bit concerned about our connecting flight as originally we had 3hrs layover but 2.5hrs have been used up. Could be a bit hairy at the airport and a bit of a run required!!
Nothing we can do about it, just sit back for a 9hr flight in this very uncomfortable seat!!
Update whilst in the air, the landing time is due for 7.40am. Our flight was 7.20am and other flights are 8.20am. I think it’s safe to say we’re not flying in the morning. They can’t tell us anything, we just have to speak to someone when we land. I think there’s a flight on the evening. Shame if we have to spend the whole day in the airport! Will find out in about 7 hours time, need to get some sleep I guess
