Brisbane to Abu Dhabi

First leg of the long journey done. That was the longest, a little over 13 hours. Can't say I'm a fan of Etihad as an airline. We didn't get our special diet meals, but then we did book a Virgin ticket through Zuji to advise Etihad of our needs. In the end though we were on an Etihad flight so they have to bear some responsibility for the systems they use through the third parties. And the on board video, whilst excellent quality video output, was surprisingly light on content that I would be happy to watch. Anyway, we are sitting here at gate 21 awaiting our next flight. I've just eaten an Aussie grown Fuji apple and enjoyed every bite.
