On my way to Australia - 5th April

I'm half way round. The plane took off an hour late, so I had an extra hour on the plane. Not something you need when you're already on there for 22 hours. How does this happen? We got as far as being 5 minutes to take off before the crew notice 2 passengers aren't on board, but their bags are. Cue calling the baggage handlers back to sift through all the bags and suitcases to pull off their luggage.

It does beg the question, would it not have been quicker to get the passengers on the plane? They'd checked in and were at the airport, hence their luggage being on the plane!

So this is Singapore Airport. We had less than an hour here. By the time I'd freshened up it was time to go back through security and on to the plane. So no souvenir shopping. Hey-ho.
