I'd forgotten how much Munich airport Terminal 1 sucks. Once you're airside it's basically just one big, very long corridor with gates on one side. Not much food and drink, very little duty free shopping, not a lot of seating, and a notable lack of power outlets. It was a mistake to come here early.

I have at least managed to get myself a Currywurst, a beer, and a seat.

My ride is here, anyway.

This Qatar airlines plane was met at the gate by airport police and emergency services. Something unfortunate must be going on.
Big forehead.

Off we go. One of Emirates now somewhat dated un-refreshed A380-800 for the 6-ish hour short hop to Dubai, a tight 2 hour connection there, then the over 14 hour ordeal to Sydney.
