My big holiday of all time was to visit Australia this year. It was only a few weeks after Malaysia.
The flight out was overnight leaving Heathrow at 9:30 pm on an A380. It was a long flight to Singapore, but being able to sleep was a benefit. March 2013 was the last month that Qantas were doing this route, after that it would be a stop over in Dubai - so it felt like the end of a long haul era.
Landing in Singapore, with just a one hour stop over before rejoining for another 8 hours on top of the 12 already flown. Landing in Sydney on Monday 07:30 am. It took a while to get through immigration, and out to a taxi to the hotel at Surry Hills arriving at around 11 am.
We stayed at a boutique hotel, and the first day was taken with catching up on some sleep - only venturing out in the evening to get some food.
