My hopes of taking my client's corporate jet directly from Pekanbaru to Singapore were dashed as a consequence of a schedule change. This meant, instead of a 45 minute hop accross the Malaccan Straight in time to catch my lunchtime flight from Singapore, I now had to first take a 90-minute flight to Jakarta to catch a commerical flight to pretty much anywhere else outside of Indonesia.
What was going to be an easy travel day turned into what seemed like an endless number of flights. Travelling from Pekanbaru to Jakarta meant crossing the equator once, and then I took a flight up to Bangkok which required me to traverse the dividing line between north and south yet again. It was from Bangkok that I will shortyly connect with my longhaul flight to Helsinki, and then on to Prague, where I will arrive tomorrow morning.
All in a day's work for your road warrior of a grandfather.
