Cairns - London
Our Jetstar flight Cairns to Darwin had only 35 people on it...
Oly and I managed to get three seats in a row. The check-in girl said she would block off the seat in the middle as there were only 60 more people getting on the flight in Darwin. Hurrah! This flight was going to be great, with a bit of luck the Singapore - London sector wouldn't be too bad either.
hmm
We stayed on the aircraft at Darwin while everyone else got off to stretch their legs.
I am sure you can imagine my horror when the aircraft was re boarded a very large, saturated in sweat, American informed us that he was sitting the seat between us.
As he squeezed in to the seat and Oly made small talk with him while I counted to ten...
It turns out that he had an argument with the check-in chick in Darwin and it she decided to get her own back. There were approximately seven totally empty rows on the aircraft and around 50 free middle seats. With odds like that I really need to start gambling.
When everyone was seated I asked the cabin crew to reseat him and breathed a sigh of relief. The seat was left with an imprint of his sweaty body and drips of sweat running down the head rest.
Singapore to London was a dream, we jumped on an earlier flight instead of hanging around for four hours and slept most of the way.
We landed at 5AM GMT. I think we travelled for around 26 hours and It really wasn't that bad.
