DO RUN RUN

A few days later, and after a long day at work, its again time to head back to the airport for yet another flight. I had forgotten the last airbus to the airport from the city is rather early for my flight, which is the last of the day. And so I end up having to take a taxi when I come to my senses. At this hour of the day the ride out is fast.

Since its the last flight the airport is fairly quiet (although 2 other flights are yet to depart they have finished check in process). Check in takes a while as I sort out some flight issues. While there they hand me a birthday card from the airport crew which is a nice touch ^

The premium immigration officer is gone so I head to the regular immigration queue for the first time in ages. Fortunately the queue is short and I'm through in no time. Some last minute shopping before I head to the lounge and I discover that all the duty free shops (well all except for liquor) are shut already Even the currency exchange is shut so I cant get some money changed.

Off to the lounge and a refreshing shower. Once freshened up I grab a drink and log on. I see the inbound aircraft is running late so the redeye departure is looking to be even later than usual
