That's kind of you P.O.M. I am trying to plan a trip to Oz and NZ but my nephew is getting hitched in South Africa this December, so it'll be that part of the Southern Hemisphere instead!
Incidentally, about 18 months ago, returning from CPT on a daylight to LHR with VS, I looked out of the window and telephoned my father. He was expecting me that day and the line quality was so good, he did not realise where I was!!
So when he asked me how tired I was, I said that it was fine as I had my feet up (Premium Economy), had a drink and, by the way, we had just crossed the North African coast .....
He laughed so much and I told him how I had just visited the flight deck and told the crew about his Class 1 Camel Tracks!
I don't recall what the cost of the phone call was but it was worth every penney. He died about eight months later and I treasure that phone call.
