28th November 2015 QE2 bridge to Dubai

Having made a last-minute decision to visit northern Thailand my parents kindly dropped us as Gatwick for the Saturday Emirates flight to Bangkok necessitating a change of plane in Dubai. Turkish airspace had recently found itself in the news for all the wrong reasons but we were soon passing safely through it.
