Singapore-Heathrow-Denmark/Copenhagen








What a couple of long flights! Arrived at Changi Airport Singapore, only to find out the flight was delayed 4 hours. I strat panicking as <i have a connecting flight to Denmark, that was a strong possibility i would miss. Two medical emergencies saw us delayed another 14 minutes on the plane, as patients were transferred. Well what do you expect on a A380 bus carrying almost 800 passengers?  Quietly, I was petrified flying on such a big beast, but turned out quite comphy with a million entertainment channels to pick from.  Ok back to my story.......My Scandanavian aircraft was due to depart in 50 minutes!Come hell or high water <i was not going to miss it, so decided not to go pick up my luggage, but run like hell to the transit departure section, flatout run, with small suitcase trailing behind, doging couples and people walking lazilly. Unfortunately the wonderfull staff at Perth International Airport did not send my luggage through all 3 flights. Totally out of breath, panicking, an 'turbaned' covered man came to my rescue after <i explained my dilemma...he said 'mam take it easy as you have plenty of time (yeah like 30 minutes and people are allready boarding), he got me through customs asap before other hoards of people trying to reconnect lost flights.....Scan Air was fabulous, they said Quantas should have posted my luggage through without me having to collect it, but she will see what she can do...and told me to get on board, if all fails, if my luggage is not on board they will let me know when it arrives, and actaully deliver to the hotel! I was exhausted from almost 48hrs no sleep.....managed to book into the hotel, getting ready for tomorrow's 2 day tour.....good night till next time.....Photos: My best surprise was when <i opened the cabin window I saw AMSTERDAM!!!!!!!! Was shocked to see the ocean of UK very dirty and brown. The inflight picture shows Heatrhow Airport, and some photos of Copenhagen in my walabout...see temp was beolow 10 degrees....good night till next time
