Guest David C Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I will be going AWOL , at least for a couple of days as from tomorrow (2/11) . I am flying SYD-AUH-LHR on the EY451 . I depart SYD at 1550 Hrs , so Chainy , if the weather and ATC is forthcoming , you may even get an eyeball on the aircraft as we climb over your place ..I must admit the thought of almost 15 hrs non stop to Abu Dhabi , is not one that fills me with joy . It may be OK for a first time traveller , but when you have made the trip as many times as I , it just becomes a necessary chore after a while .. I will be back in Aussie on 22 Nov , so I'll sign off now , and check in from Birmingham UK in a few days .... See ya .. Dave C
Guest Chainsaw Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 You bet I will. If the wx is good I will get a pic for you Dave :) I'd love it to be EHJ.
Guest Chainsaw Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Dave, you will be on EHE...on approach to Sydney now.
Guest David C Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks mate .. and also thanks for the heads up re the rego . The flight is timetabled for a A345 , so a A346 is a nice surprise . I wonder if that explains why there appears to be quite a few empty seats according to Etihad web check in . I have seat 20G for SYD to AUH and 16H for the AUH to LHR leg . If the allocation is correct , I will have no pax sitting next to me for the whole trip .... Lets hope that's the way it works out.... I am most definitely closing now .. See you from Birmingham ..... Over and out !!!! Dave C
Guest David C Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Well I made it to London ...I had A6-EHK a new A346 from AUH to LHR .. Beautiful aircraft , and had the updated "E-Box " AVOD system working .. very nice . I am slowly getting back into UK time zones , the usual jetlag crept up on me last night , but today I feel OK . My camera SD card seems wrecked after being subjected to Xray treatment . It's fortunate that it was new and only had a few images on board , unfortunately they were of the trip , so no shots of aircraft etc.. Ah well .. I will post a proper trip report when time and jetlag permits .... DaveC
