Indulgence - those were the days!
Recall Mrs Imps and I went that way to Hong Kong. Cost £16 each each-way (sounds like a bet doesn't it). Anyhow in those halcyon days the contract was a B.Caledonian DC10 economy cabin load once a week - out on Monday back on Wednesday I recall. So after a cracking week with chums in the Colony we were told on the friday that we had flights home the following Wednesday so promprtly blew all the money we'd saved up in case we had to buy single fares home. I was nervous as heck as we waited to board always expecting to be bumped by a duty pax at the last minute. But we got away with it.
Oh and on the BCal contract they fed and watered you 4 times on the way - I reckon I drank £16's worth of booze on both legs - sorry sectors - I can talk truckie even if I aren't one!
