(Obviously) I made it back - went to Arlanda airport and had to wait an hour for the check-in desk to open, then eventually onto the flight to LHR. Then at LHR get the bus from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4. London was grey and drizzly - just like normal.
At T4 i discovered that due to the changes in security and duty laws in Australia, I couldn't buy any duty free alcohol - no great problem, as I would be able to try at Singapore (where I would have a 3 hour turnaround between flights).
I did buy some moisturiser for Louise. This was going to prove a mistake.
Finally onto the flight from LHR to Singapore - 13 hours. At least there were some better films to watch on the tiny tv.
Got to Singapore, and left the plane (we couldn't leave the transit area, but Singapore Transit area is HUGE!). Bought some Absolute Pear - cheaper than it was being sold in Sweden where it is made!!
Went back to the gate for the plane - had to go through security check - where apon (after x-raying my hand luggage - we had to take everything out of the plane if we left it), they confiscated Louise's moisturiser - it was 125ml and thus fell foul of the 100ml limit per gel/liquid item rule that they bought in a week before. Very annoyed as I had asked as LHR if there would be any problems - "no"...
Have contacted the store at LHR for a refund. Watch this space.
Got back home at 6.30am on Saturday - left the Ericsson office in Kista at 12.30pm the previous Thursday!
Still got a cough. :-(
