The flights..............

Ok I know this is not in chronological order but it's been such a hectic week I haven't had a chance to write about all of the wonderful experiences we have had here.
The trip began with a very pleasant surprise on the Dublin to Dubai Emirates flight. Having taken my seat a very pleasant member of the cabin crew came up to me and asked if I was Donal Brennan. I replied in the affirmative to which she said "I believe you are an utter ledge, how would you like a seat in business class?". I thought about it for all of 0.489245 seconds and promptly took my place in the very comfortable surroundings of business class.

My initial reaction was one of slight worry when I noticed my arm rest was like this

But these fears were soon far in the back of my mind when I discovered this

And this

And this

And this

Needless to say I arrived in Dubai reasonably fresh.

The next phase of the journey was to Johannesburg, once again with Emirates but this time I was in the cheap seats of the world's largest plane, the A380. Look at what I had to endure for this leg of the trip (leg as in no room for it)

The things I have to put up with...................

That said, this plane, the A380, as well as being the largest in the World, is surely the most intelligent too. The video screen on the back of the seat facing you can even sense your current physical state.

How clever is that????
