We checked out at 2; Memphis picked us up at 3 for the hour trip to the airport. Through security where they objected to the knife which has never been a problem anywhere as it goes as checked luggage, followed by security Here security is before AND after check-in. The second one is worse, shoes, even rubber, belt, everything has to go through again. I find it a major pain as everyone wants to get through, queues are long, people are tired. On top of that, I had left Hilary’s jacket on a chair before the first security, but one of them went to get it.
So we were through in about 45 mins with an hour before boarding. The flight was at 7.05pm arriving Dubai at 00.40. Peigi was offered a cheap business class for us all which she paid for and we all enjoyed.
The final flight home was ok – I never slept, watched several movies, and finally slept after 32 hours.
