So the madness/craziness has begun! The first flight of my mega-mileage run, LHR to SIN, is scheduled to depart in a little over 2 hours time.
So why have I decided to subject myself to this? Well, earlier in the year I decided I did want to keep my KrisFlyer Elite Gold status -- at least for another 12 months. I then worked out that the most economical way to do this was to have a weekend in Melbourne! I get something like 21,000 miles for the cost of a weekend in a US city. The downside is that I spend 42+ hours in an aeroplane for about the same amount of time on the ground in Melbourne.
I'm feeling a bit apprehensive because I'm not really sure how much sleep I'll actually get. I can guarantee that any sleep I do get is likely to be rubbish quality.
To ease my 'pre-trip nerves' I'm having a couple of cold Tiger beers in the Singapore Airlines lounge. I'm steering clear of any 'lounge sandwiches' after the havoc they may have been responsible for on my last flight (spewing up on the way back from SFO on BA).
Obviously I would love it if the Upgrade Gods were to shine on me again. I can't see it though, so I'd better prepare for life in Economy!
Until then I'll relax in my abundance of personal space!
