It's a long flight from Sydney to Stuttgart! You can imagine my excitement when the flight attendants stopped me as I tried to board the plane after the stopover in Hong Kong. I was starting to wonder if they were bumping me off the crowded flight, since I was flying on points - however instead, they upgraded me to business class since they'd overbooked the economy cabin. The moment that seatbelt sign went out, I was fully reclined and sleeping all the way to Heathrow.
Londoners are clearly paranoid about airport security. You must remove your shoes, jacket, laptop, and bag of fluids and queue with hundreds of other impatient passengers to get into the terminal. They proceeded to confiscate my small can of aerosol deodorant, since it was too big. This was pretty annoying, since I was counting on using that can in an attempt to cover up the foul stench of travel-weary clothes before meeting Rhea at Stuttgart. A quick tour of the airport terminal brought me to Boots, where I quickly purchased exactly the same size and brand of aerosol deodorant before heading to the BA first class lounge spa for a long, hot shower while waiting for the Stuttgart flight.
My arrival in Stuttgart was uneventful. It was great to see Rhea there, and the 30 minute drive home to Tuebingen went by in a jetlagged daze.
