The Journey Begins

Our journey begins. After months of planning we're finally here. We start our trip with on Tuesday September 4th from Heathrow Airport after spending about a week in UK for Reena's Engagement. We're both really excited for the trip to Sydney for a bunch of reasons but also because we get to ride on the A380, although, I'm sure the novelty will wear of quick during the 20+ hour journey (~13 hours to Singapore, 2-3 hour layover followed by a 7 hour flight to Sydney...fun fun).

So why is the A380 so cool? Because:
  • The engines are absolutely massive, wider than a car
  • There are 3 different loading bridges from the gate to load passengers
  • It's a double decker plane with a staircase
  • It holds 500-800 passengers
  • We saw 4-6 pilots and about 20 cabin crew getting on
  • More facts on the A380
But the real reason we think this plane is super cool is the self serve snack bar in the back. :)
