Confirmation of our seats came when checking in yesterday. It was with some relief that it was a smooth process. Many Aussies have got to this point only to be disappointed. We now had a boarding pass!
The day has been quite frantic: packing up and cleaning the flat, gathering all our accumulated clobber, calling past Mad’s and Kevan to say good bye and then off to Jim’s before heading to Heathrow with Jim for some wining and dining in Terminal 5.
“Parting is such sweet sorrow!”
We are at least on the board!
A very empty Terminal 5. Even the shuttle trains between the terminals we devoid of people!
We arrived at the boarding area just in time - our boarding group was being called. Again, even this London to Tokyo leg seemed to be very light on - many empty seats in our area (about 50% full).
The service on this JAL flight was second to none. Fine food and drink, with most comfortable seating.
The relief at getting a flight back home was tempered somewhat by the sadness of leaving the family in London. We have had the absolute fortune of landing in the centre of this crazy pandemic with our family in London. It has been a seven months we will never forget.
