No flights as the crow flies to Seychelles

Spent yesterday just relaxing and getting everything in order.
First flight out was to Hong Kong. We were only there for a few hours so didn't have time to make it around our hood. Finally J was able to experience the current Cathay Business Class cabin before the redesign takes place and she was most happy about it. Turns out we may have ridden out our luck since the aircraft experienced the ever popular "technical problems". To hear the pilot explain it matter of factly would have disguised just how big a problem it was but we'll never know thankfully. Now it was time to deplane and wait to reboard another craft in two hours. Jeanna was a bit incredulous but credit to Cathay they kept to their word. Even better it was the same model aircraft so we were able to keep our B class seats. Might as well enjoy it while we can as poverty catches up to us and airline miles wane!

Next flight was out to Dubai. This airport looks to have become even larger from three years ago when last I was here. It's 1am but it seems more like a bustling metropolis at 1pm in the afternoon. It's crowded!
Found some lounge chairs to coax some sleep (credit to Dubai airport they have plenty of lounging space) for 6 hours till flight call.

Next up was Seychelles and that was smooth enough. Back down to earth in economy :)
Made it to checkin with one eye open and then it was time to get some rest. We have arrived.
