Well all good things must come to an end. Leave The Mansions, Earls Court at 8:30am and jump on the Picadilly Line Underground train to go to Heathrow could not be easier, took about 45 mins. And cost £4. There is a special express train that goes from Paddington, but that would have meant 2 trains and probably just as long and it cost £16.
Heathrow is huge but well sign posted. It would have been a long walk but the have all these travelators, had no trouble booking in, even with Karen's walking stick.
The plane was good, more room than usual, but still 6 hours to Dubai, arrived 12:15am local time and the place is humming, hundreds of people doing transfers and all the duty free is open. Flight to Melbourne is Gate 223, takes about 8 travelators to get there, this is a big airport.
Flight leaves at 3am |
