day 8: Seoul to Heathrow


We were on the 0740 shuttle bus from the hotel and in the Asiana Lounge for breakfast by 0830. It's almost deserted here.


This is the only airport I know where you can watch the planes from the comfort of a massage chair!




Off to the gate to board the B777.



On board we had a Chinese ATC delay of 10 minutes and then we're off. Starters number 2:
We didn't sleep much, partly because it's a daytime flight westbound and partly due to a child with Attention Defecit Disorder close by. The child wasn't as much a problem as the trendy parents idea of how to get him to sleep by making even more row. Suffice to say that the oriental kids in Business were good as gold.
Anyhow, the Asiana ladies pandered to our whims and we arrived in reasonable shape for a 11hr 40min flight.

cheers!

P.S. Arrival at Heathrow isn't a great advert for the UK. For a start, all the 'Priority' tagged business class bags came off the plane last, about 40min after we arrived, plus the prepaid car park system still doesn't work which means one has to go visit the office to get out. Hey ho...
