After a false start this morning due to gusty conditions in Punta, we have been picked up at the hotel with our Carry on baggage and dressed for the cold as it’s expected to be -14 when we land. The temperature onboard will be a comfortable 12 degrees.

Olivia takes care of us all the way to the plane. Great passenger service by ALE as usual.

Airport security cleared and a short wait we transfer to our plane. Disinfectant trays at the bottom of the steps to clean the already scrubbed boots.

It is more comfortable on board than I was expecting for the 4.5hrs flight.

Inflight safety briefing over and we will be off.

I’ve got a survey to do…. I will tweet from Antartica to update my experiences @stigij
