Like every trip, I started the train journey to Schiphol at around 11.40 am. The train was delayed because someone had pulled the emergency brake. The delay was about 15 minutes.
Once at Schiphol I was able to check in smoothly and smoked a cigar outside in the sun. Then through the baggage check and passport control. This went fairly smoothly as well and after 15 minutes everything was complete. I bought some last minute stuff and bought some US dollars. After some food at one of the restaurants I walked to the gate where I had to wait another hour to board. This also went smoothly.
Around 03.30 pm the A380-800 from Emirates left for Dubai. I watched a movie, got something to eat and slept a bit. A pleasant flight. Around midnight local time (22.00 pm Dutch time) I was in Dubai.
