Flight Out
Posted by Karl under: On the road; Traveling .
5 minutes before takeoff:
So here I am on the first flight out this year. This time its through London Heathrow. We chose a nice day for flying – the middle day of a long weekend. The plane is almost empty. I got the whole row to my self ^_^v.
In addition BA has little TVs in this 777, but I probably won’t watch anything on them… with three seats, extended battery on my PSP with 8GB of space (20+ hours of music, 4 hours of TV, 3 games), and my e-book reader this flight will be quick.
~3:20 in flight:
So far I watched the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica, Lost and Dr. Who (still got CSI and The Invisibles – but I’ll leave these for the layover or the next flight). For now I’ll start reading KOR manga until I fall asleep… maybe
40 minutes to go:
Ahh its nice to have so much room… I had a nice nap and now its almost time to land… time went quickly as planned… next up – Heathrow and the new terminal 5 (well new to me).
LHR Terminal 5:
Terminal 5 looks great – I’m guessing its brand new. It has the standard highly overpriced brand shops, lots of sitting space with too many people and food places of various kinds – and of course a Starbucks. Next time if I have the opportunity i have to take a closer look at the shop above "wagamama"? WTH?
Anyway’s… now I’m waiting by A10 (next to the Starbucks) for our next flight and then the loooong drive to "home".
note to self: find out how far has the little Totoro on my Porter bag traveled so far – maybe I can get airmiles for him too …. hmmm….
