Not a problem

After spending too many hours at Linate airport, one of two in Milan and only 7kms from the city centre (and not very impressive one has to say) we boarded our flight for Frankfurt.

Just as the departure time approached the Captain announced that due to thunderstorms over the Swiss Alps we would not be departing for a while - there goes any hope of getting our connecting flight!

The flight pushed back 12 minutes late and arrived at Frankfurt 5 minutes after the scheduled time and then the quick steps started. The plane parked out on the tarmac and we had to get into a bus which took us to Terminal One and we then had to get to gate Z62 which was quite some distance, however firstly we had to go through Customs all the time our time was getting eaten up.

Using the travellators to best advantage we did well to get to the gate 45 minutes after landing and join the queue for boarding which had already started.

Some 12 hours later after a smoothish flight we arrived at Singapore, taxi'd to our hotel and now intend catching up on our lost sleep.
