MH123 to SYD took off as planned. As it was close to midnight I curled up and went to sleep in my throne. On the MH A330-300s the J seats are 1-2-1 alternating with 1-2-2. So every second row has a single seat between the footwells of the two seats behind it. Hence the term ‘throne’.

I skipped dinner but the VLML (Vego special meal) breakfast was an omelette with potatoes, spinach and cherry tomatoes.
We landed about 35 minutes early and headed straight to the gate.
Who am I kidding? Of course we didn’t. We sat on the tarmac for about 50 minutes waiting for every other aircraft to come and go so actually ended up being 25 minutes late. MH, you are too damn polite!
I zipped through immigration and customs to find I had set a new personal record. The plane door opened at 1027 and I was in fresh air at 1032. Five minutes! It did help that we ended up at gate 35 which wasn’t a long walk to immigration.
A short wait for the transfer bus and I was soon sitting in the domestic J lounge sipping a coffee.
