We've just had a stopover at Dubai on our way to London after our 14 hour flight from Melbourne.

We flew out from Dubai at 8am (Dubai time) and it was already 29 degrees celsius outside, and as you can see outside the window it was hazy across the city. The weather is vastly different to the 12 degree clear sunny day we left in Ballarat yesterday! Currently we are crossing over the Middle East, it looks hot and dry out there!

We are en route to Gatwick Airport in London, and are due to arrive at 12.35pm (London time).

We are flying economy with Emirates and have found the service, comfort and food great so far. Hopefully the airline standards will continue to impress!
