DXB – MRU – ZSE
After 24 hours of gold and spices in Dubaļ, we were rudely awakened by the reception with the information that our car was here to take us to the airport. Now I don’t know about you traveller, but I for one am not up to much at 3am. Especially not in the food and drink department. My body clock is on shutdown and digesting even my saliva is major gastric activity. However what with all the goodies on offer in the Emirates business lounge in DXB and of course the champagne awaiting on the plane, I did manage to make an exception just this once. After all, we were on holiday...
Ah! Wonderful!
At least Dubai airport has done the sensible thing and put these recliners in ...

The comfy version of Emirates Business Class
Legroom... yes I have got short legs.. but it was impolite of you to mention it, traveller!
This time we were fortunate enough to have the comfortable business class (my one gripe with Emirates... it’s all so hit and miss isn’t it?) and I sat back with my glass of champagne and watched “Slumdog Millionaire”. Excellent!
Arrival in MRU was on schedule and as we’d managed to get our bags checked through to St. Pierre we didn’t have to undergo that dreadful wait through passport control. Straight to the transit desk and after some more Chopin on the keyboard we were through into departures to wait for the Air Austral flight back home. It’s only a half an hour hop across the Indian Ocean from Mauritius to Reunion but Air Austral manage to give you some snacks and a fruit juice... Not bad at all.
And that's it for this first attempt. Next time I'll try to be a little less furtive when taking photos and a little more detailed with information like flight numbers and whatnot. I do have the menus if anyone is interested.
Next trip, travellers will be to the UK for a flying visit. Sleep well, and travel far...
Oh and by the way.... comments welcome.
