As astute readers will have noticed, this is a new post on my travel blog. This can only mean one thing, check-in for our flight was successful!
I'm currently sitting in a relatively quiet Terminal 3 at LHR catching up with the past few hours. We were waiting for our taxi by 0810 this morning after checking out of the Premier Inn (15 Bath Rd). I have to say that for £45 the hotel was good value for money. The room and bed were comfortable and it was pretty quiet too despite being a couple of hundred metres from the end of the North runway.
The taxi journey only took 10 minutes and works out cheaper and quicker than using the 'Hopper' bus service, £12 versus £13. Our driver was chatty and very polite. Once inside T3, we quickly found the Qantas check-in desk and there was no queue! Much to my relief, there was no drama with check-in. We handed over passports, heaved our enormous bags onto the scales and received boarding passes in exchange! I can't believe we've set out with over 55kg of baggage. So much so for 'travelling light'!
Once through security, again a pretty painless experience, apart from Lynn having to remove her shoes and being told she needed to remove a tissue from her pocket before entering the x-ray machine, we headed for food.
As seems to be traditional, we had 'full english' breakfast in an Italian restaurant and very tasty it was too. After a brief wander around the shops, we settled for a newspaper and free bottle of water. The last of the big spenders or what!
Now, we just have to wait for another hour and we should be on our way. Our flight should take a little over 7 hours, next stop Dubai.
