Well, it's great to be back home, but what a flight..
After the London - Hong Kong sector the last thing you want to do is spend 6.5 hours on the tarmac at HK airport. There was an engine fault that required a replacement part, followed by an "incident" that closed a runway that delayed us for yet another hour. For some reason the AirNZ management deemed that we should stay on the plane the whole time.
Then we needed to divert via Brisbane becuase the crew had run out of hours. Meanwhile I am throwing up and back on the oxygen.
Finally made it home at 11.30pm on Sunday (left heathrow 9pm Friday)
Half the family has got the flu too. Welcome to NZ!
