Luckily we arrived at the airport in plenty of time, because there was a huge stuff-up with our tickets. Actually, the tickets were fine, but the person at the counter kept insisting that we were flying back via Bangkok, and then on to Sydney, and then home to Christchurch - bollocks! So, after initially queuing and then being told that stress-inducing information, then being sent to queue at yet another counter to sort it out (as I refused to accept it), and then back to wait in the by now even longer queue at the original counter, a supervisor got to the bottom of things and dealt with it by talking it through with our original person by phone. In the end, we really had no time to look at buying anything of significance in Duty Free, or having a coffee etc, and arrived in a harassed state at the Gate for our Emirates flight.
We had bought new bottles of water each at one of the Duty Free stores, but suddenly found ourselves in the now extremely crowded Gate area, where security people suddenly set themselves up with temporary tables and began searching all passengers’ luggage, and any water bottles had to be dumped even though we had already passed through the screening. We gulped down our water, and finally made it on board, and on our way home, via Sydney!
We arrived safely home on Wednesday 16 October!
