Things I have learned from a seven hour flight delay. Those $2 massage chairs earn every coin they swallow. I dont care how comfy the cafe lounge is. After the first hour, you back is screaming for the sweet relief of death. Everything in the duty free shops starts to look appealing. I seriously found myself questioning Could I use a crystal skull full of vodka? As appealing as the idea of getting so drunk that the hours will positively fly by (unlike Qantas flight QF11), you have to remember theres a 15 hour flight (not including domestic transfer) to get through. And you have to weigh up the risk of falling asleep and missing it all together. Never will you be more glad for free wifi. And Cafe/bar Bambini, who I highly recommend for their understanding and their power points at every table. Upload movies onto you iPad for any trip. Trust me. Just do it. Never did I think PA announcements could put the fear of god into me. Every time I heard the airwaves open, I shat my pants at the thought it could be another delay. Airports are not the best place to get stuck in, but theyre certainly not the worst. Remember perspective. You are not a homeless person sleeping under a bridge in the depths of a cold winter. You are a person who is a few hours late for the holiday of a lifetime. Thanks for your attention. Please fasten your seat belts and return your tray to its upright position. We dont want to have another engineering delay now, would we?
