Yeah. Considering it takes more than a day to fly to Hamburg direct, it seems a terrible idea to stay for just one week Also when I'm away from home I always make an effort to visit my extended family, so I have to visit countries other than Germany, otherwise it would make me a terrible person if I didn't (unless they were terrible people...which they're not ).

Yeah it would be kind of a bad idea. The longest flight I've had was probably something like 4-6 hours or something? I think. I can't even imagine being in an airplane for over 24 hours. Sounds horrible.

I won't be in an aeroplane for the whole time. From the east coast heading to Europe, there's always a transfer in Asia somewhere (Singapore, Hong Kong and UAE mostly). Direct to Singapore was about 9 hours, and direct to UAE is around 13-14 hours. Waiting for transfers is almost as painful as riding in an aeroplane Third most painful is being asked any questions at boarder control when you get to Europe, after having little to no sleep for the last day. For this reason alone I hope I never have to fly straight to the UK because they ask a lot of questions

Questions? What questions?

Questions? What questions?

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but I'll assume it's not. Border control in UK is a massive pop quiz for me to get in. How long I'm staying, where I'm staying, what I'm doing and with whom, where I've been, where I'm going next...it's painful For me to get into Germany, the most number of questions I had to answer was two (funny story that time ).

OF COURSE that was sarcasm

Nah, I believe you that it's not fun. I never had to get through that, but anyway - sounds quite uncomfortable.

Cant remember getting many questions when i went to newcastle, but maybe thats because i came from europe.
Is the flght to the UAE the longest you've ever done?

 

[Alix]

Is the flight to the UAE the longest you've ever done?

I'm not 100% sure. Brisbane to Dubai was roughly the same as Singapore to Munich I think.

I went to bed at about 1am, took ages to fall asleep, then I was up and about by about 7:15am. Unacceptable, and not the way I had intended to spend my public holiday
