Perhaps that was it, but came out MAN - DXB on the 777 2 class config, and couldn't get much sleep due to the lack of recline on the seats. Upshot of that was I was SO tired when I got on the 380, all I wanted to do was get some sleep, which I did for 2 or 3 hours. As a result when I woke up I wasn't in the best frame of mind, had a cople of glasses of Dom P to try and raise my spirits a bit, and failed miserably. Had some dinner, got indegestion, and generally felt rough for the rest of the flight.

Flight back is on Sunday morning (01.30) on a 777 3 class, which is just fine, as I can get on, have a long sleep to DXB before enduring the business class only flight to MAN in the morning !

I will be out on Friday night, correct !
