24-26 hrs from Australia is a real trial. We¡¯ve tried it via Hong Kong and Singapore and via Dubai it¡¯s never any easier. 20 hr flight from Perth sounds good but then you have to add on 7 hrs flying time to cross Australia.?
We prefer to go straight through rather than stopover - stopover just prolongs agony.?
I was not fond of Emirates ?via Dubai / that airport is a bit of a nightmare first time around involving lifts and train- but ok once you¡¯ve done it once. Less of a panic. ?Thai and Singapore airlines were good.?
But when do you think our oM might relent and not keep us all captive - latest news on it is 2022.?

Ho ho, John!
I can¡¯t imagine going on an airliner again. ?Flying airlines was exciting when I was young, zipping between home (in India and the Middle East) and school in England, but it became tedious before the attack on the Twin Towers. ?After that attack it was tedious and time-wasting. ?No more . . .

?A passenger on a plane thought it was a bit unusual to have a man sitting next to a dog on the next seat. So he asked him:
Why have you got a dog sitting next to you?
He replied:
I'm an FBI agent. Then he said:
Rover Seek!
Rover went up the right aisle, came back & put his right paw on the agent's hand:
The passenger said:
"I like it!"
then the agent said:
"Rover seek"
Rover went down the left aisle.
He came back & put his left paw on the agent's hand.
The agent said:
"Rover Seek"
He went down the right aisle & sprinted back. Then he crapped all over the seat!
The passenger said Jeesalou, what's wrong with your dog!?
The agent said Rover just found a B B BOMB!
