It was a rainy night in Brisbane when we boarded Emirates flight EK435 bound for Dubai. Our aircraft was Boeing 777-300ER A6-ECT and we sat in the very rear seats on the starboard side. We were served dinner soon after takeoff at 9pm but it was nothing special. Prefer Qantas food so far. I watched Pitch Perfect and Gail watched Parent Something ??? before we both tried for some sleep...

Managed a bit of broken sleep before seeing a magnificent view of the lights of Singapore out the window. A cup of tea and a cold pie was served at the same time. Also saw the lights of Kuala Lumpur framed by flashes of lightning.
