Melbourne to London via SIN?

No, it was QF9 via Dubai. Leaving Melbourne at midnight meant I could fly down to Melbourne and get a days work done, before arriving into Dubai at 6am, and then on to Heathrow at 2pm. I could do that run and function at the other end. Even going via Singapore would-be ok, with a mid afternoon arrival. Getting in at 6am is the pits.

The route has an interesting past.
