A couple of hours of sleep a we’re out the door. It’s 3:30 Am and we’re already checked out of our hotel room and waiting for boarding to commence.

The second leg of our journey to Africa begins with Flight EK 761 on another Emirates Airline aircraft; this time a Boeing 777-300ER. This 7 1/2 hour flight had the one thing the first lacked… peace and quiet. There were only a couple of young children on board and they behaved themselves admirably. Emirates Airline proved that their first flight was not an anomaly; the food was great (in fact, excellent, when you consider how most airlines serve absolutely horrible breakfasts), the service superb, free bevies (including alcohol), and the overall customer experience spectacular. They are are indeed the world’s number one ranked airline and deserve to be recognized as such.
