Today we have been driven down to Heathrow airport - a 3 hour journey from our house - to catch our connecting flight to Zurich, Switzerland then from there to Hong Kong. I was (and still am) very excited about revisiting Hong Kong this year. Because we are flying business class, we got to go in the Star Alliance Gold lounge. It was so cool!
When the time came to go to the gate, a message came up on the flight screen that our flight would be delayed 1 hour because of storms in Zurich. This meant that we might miss the connecting flight to Hong Kong. We all groaned. I was so annoyed with the weather!!!
Just before we landed in Zurich an air stewardess told us that our flight would wait for us to get on. We thanked her and Dad became ridiculously giddy. It was really funny.
There was an Australian lady who was on her own and really worried about missing the connecting flight to Hong Kong. She wasn't in business class so we got the stewardess to give her a message about where the gate was and waited for her to help her get to the flight. She was a very nice lady and grateful for our help. She had also got another flight back to Australia the next day from HK. Yuck!!! We got on our flight with minutes to spare and we all felt really relieved. 'I wouldn't have minded a night in Zurich after all!' Dad said. I wouldn't of either but I would have preferred to be on the way to Hong Kong!!
(This plane journey is continued in the blog entry above - Friday 16th July!)
