I've arrived in Sydney safe and well and was in literal First Class all the way. Qantas staff are excellent and even noted the book I was reading 'Is that a relative?' (It was Steve's 50/50 Killer). Free champagne, lots of food, great seats. :) This ain't no poxy Premium Economy!
Had a fairly easy transfer across in Singapore, though I discovered halfway to Sydney that the attendant hadn't given me back my full ticket so will have to sort with Carmel at some point, but needed to change the return date anyway.
Only been here a few hours and will be having an early night. More news as it happens.
