Day 30: We stayed awake all day …
… to be told, “We changed to a smaller plane, one that doesn’t have enough seats. Sorry, I can’t check you in. But here are two drinks vouchers.”
Unfortunately Cathay Pacific didn’t think that everyone would want the seats they’d paid for, so they changed to a smaller plane. Fortunately for us, some poor sods rocked up a minute late (luckily we didn’t see them), so we got the last seats on the plane. Literally - seats 70H and 70K, right down there in the galley. It was great, right down the end where nobody goes, except for mothers trying to shut the screaming heads on their babies. And the guys who decided to have a chat because they couldn’t sleep.
