After a long wait at the Johannesburg airport, I was finally able to board my flight to Abu Dhabi. I quickly realised once I got on the plane that I had the middle seat in my row which is definitely the worst seat on a plane - you don't get the window view/head rest and you don't get the aisle to stretch your legs. Instead you're squished between two strangers. It wasn't the worst flight however, I was flying with Etihad and their seats are pretty comfortable and have this cool head rest thing so I was able to get a few hours of sleep. After watching Suicide Squad I dozed off for the next few hours until we finally landed at Abu Dhabi at around 5:30am local time, or 3:30am Johannesburg time. I was very, very tired.
