In Krabi

-
Well, as it turns out - HS-AAI, the aircraft I was scheduled to travel on to Krabi had a problem somewhere, and instead I travlled on HS-AAS, another B737-300. Flight was delayed 1 hour and we left in stormy conditions with rain and lightning. The flight however was relatively smooth and we arrived in Krabi about 55 minutes late. The Hotel, Aree Tara is fantastic at the price. I don't have much easy access to internet here as I did not bring the laptop down from Bangkok, so further picture reports will come in a couple of days!

After flying Emirates back in 2008 on a return trip from Sydney to Bangkok I had acquired enough frequent flyer points to upgrade a Melbourne to Auckland ticket from economy to business class. I decided to take advantage of this and booked a cheap one way ticket which I immediately upgraded to business. It's only a little over 3 hours flying time but I was looking forward to trying out the EK product! The online upgrade process was quick and easy on emirates.com and I was able to select my new seat instantly. I arrived at the airport a little after 6am for the 8am flight. The Emirates check-in desks certainly stand out with large billboards featuring attractive Emirates cabin crew inviting you to queue: After check-in was complete I was through security and heading up the escalators to the Emirates Lounge which is a shared lounge for both First and Business passengers.

INTRODUCTION Welcome to the first of a series of posts I am calling 'The Royal Tour'. Basically, as a bit of a monarchist I was quite excited to hear about the engagement of HRH Prince William of Wales to Catherine Middleton late last year. I watched with interest as the media hype built up in the months following, and suddenly at about 3am on a nightshift I had a thought, why not get on a plane and be in the crowd!? After all, this was going to be a major moment in history no matter which way you look at it. So, with my mind made up I started planning on ways to get there in comfort, and seeing a few airports I had never seen along the way! Along with airports I decided to stick with the royal theme and visit as many palaces and castles as I could squeeze in. On the way home I had a family wedding to attend to in Cairns, so that would have to be integrated into the plan as well. THE FLIGHT PLAN After a lot of playing around with schedules I came up with an itinerary invo
