Tuesday May 29th - Depart Brisbane for Paris
Can I come too?
Robbie us a lift to the airport. Check in is easy. Our bags each weigh 12kg - we had added some extra throwaway clothes and food for Paris and the French Open and French customs doesn't exist. We also are flying Business Class - once you're 60 you I decided you don't need to sit scrupled up in economy. Qantas Brisbane to Singapore then Air France Singapore to Paris. The timing suits us fine - an afternoon flight into Singapore, a few hours stopover the Air France overnight to Paris arriving at 6am. As a result we had almost no jet lag. The Qantas plane and food were definitely better than Air France but neither has horizontal beds in Business Class. A lie flat bed is not a horizontal bed - it inclines at about 15deg so you always feel like you are slipping off. But still a whole lot better than Economy so no complaints. We've also gotten into the practice of taking throwaway pillows just to make the lie-flat (but not horizontal) bed extra comfy.
