ESCAPE TO AUSTRALIA

Our flight to Melbourne was delayed as the aircraft was pushed back for taxiing 28 minutes behind schedule. It was strange that there was no delay announcement or apologies made by the crew. Perhaps, Malaysia Airlines is no longer interested in making courtesy announcement for any delay below half an hour these days. Queuing for take-off - with another Malaysia Airlines' B747 behind us.
The morning brunch was served as we reached our cruising altitude. The economy class inflight meal on this Kuala Lumpur-Melbourne flight was more filling than those on the Domestic sectors.
2 choices for the main course. An Omelet or a Nasi lamak meal.
The serving was not bad considering the "jimat" (Cost saving) drive by the Airlines.
2 hours before landing, we had snacks with coffee or tea.

We landed Melbourne just after 19:15 with a temperate of 10C. The CIQ clearance was prompt and we were on our way to the city 40 minutes after touched down.This magnificent building - the Flinders Street Station, Melbourne greeted us as we arrived at our hotel.
