Got about 2 hours sleep on the 8 hour flight from Cape Town. Tried the fish this time - not a big fan! Arrived BA at 1pm. Only Australians, US & Canadian citizens need to pay for a visitor visa of US$100! Immigration ok and bags arrived - always a miracle I think. Actually paying for a visa helped us get ahead of the locals and other visitors who can get in free. Customs a walk through and the driver was waiting for us. EZE airport seems a combination o...

Back on to the B747 for the 8 hour flight to Buenos Aires. Another full flight. The flight attendant told me that our flight is the last ever by Malaysia Airlines. She told me a political decision despite the flight being full. Apparently Thai Airways wanted the route but Emirates have now got the right to it. So a special flight for Malaysian and us too! You can see from this blog' photo that Joanne is right into holiday mode resting weary legs while waiting f...

We departed Perth at 5pm off runway 21. A right turn and a beautiful overfly of Perth city - haven't seen Perth like this since my days flying from Jandakot. Unusual route taken instead of coastal over Geraldton and crossing the coast at Exmouth we flew inland and crossed at Port Hedland. Aircraft a B777 configuration 2-5-2. Joanne and I have the 2 on right side of aircraft - plenty of leg room - row 31 seats J & K. Peanuts and guava juice shortly after take...

With 12 flights over the next 20 days it would be wrong of me not to take a photograph of each aircraft. We are waiting to board MH124 from Perth to Kuala Lumpur - about 1 hour late already!
