We had an early start so as to catch our transfer to Narita airport at 4.45am. We shared the minivan with two elderly Melburnians. We were going to be on the same flight except they were in Business Class. We gave them a hand with the luggage. By the time we got through security/immigration we only had to wait an hour. We had three babies sitting in the row in front of us on the plane, but the little ones weren't too bad. The meals were quite good. We had a four-hour stopover in Singapore where I watched the updates that told me that Melbourne Storm had lost the grand final...a shame.
Our next leg I found the meals ordinary and, in some cases, inedible. The people in front put their seats back which impacted both leg room and giving trouble getting out of the seats far more difficult. The strange mealtimes they chose made it difficult to sleep and in fact neither of us got too much sleep at all.
It wasn't jet lag that affected us, it was just a lack of sleep, something I have never experienced on a flight before. We got through Brisbane security quite quickly but then had to wait at the luggage carrousel which seemed like an eternity. We arrived home at 7.30 am on the King's Birthday holiday, and at that stage we felt good, but as the day wore on, we both became more tired and were forced to nap. It was an excellent holiday, especially the weather we encountered.
