11 hours on a plane, very comfy and unusual seats and oodles of drinks and grub. Virgin take note, premium economy give you PROPER champagne and you don’t even need to get up for the drinks, you order them from your TV and they are delivered to your seat with a smile (granted they are very nice boys).

And now a 2 hour wait in what can only be described as a dirty Heathrow lounge with 3 women who give you an orange card but don’t tell you were to go or what to do! It’s 7.30pm Sun 22 Jan in LaLa Land time or 3.30am Monday 23 Jan UK time and I have no idea what pose Mrs Fogg is doing or why.

Next stop Auckland.
