Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
Boarded on time for our flt to Sydney and then sat in the plane for over two hours while the engineers tried to resolve a "computer issue". The captain had to shut the whole plan down twice to do that. Not good sitting in a plan without aircon in Dubai, 46deg in the shade!! Finally fixed the problem, well that's what they told us, and announced that we were taking off, but after pulling back from the gate they discovered a new problem so back to the parking bay. The problem with delays on the ground on these really long flights (14 hours) is that you are cooped up in the plane even longer!! We eventually got underway nearly three hours behind schedule. Of course that put into doubt our Syd - HB connecting flight, the only direct flight for the whole day. A flt via Brisbane, making the journey even longer seemed on the cards. However by some magic we made it.
