A trip to Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia

The JQ660 flight to Uluru (Alice Springs) airport was only 15 minutes late departing from Sydney. The liftoff appeared smooth and swift as we sat in the seats located in 4A/4B on the A320 aircraft.

The availability of onboard entertainment that came out when the plane had settled in for the 4.5 or so hour flight an iPad with pricing starting from $12 was declined. Only light snacks were offered during the flight.

The view of the Blue Mountains and on to Bathurst and then the view of wide expanses of land and what looked like deep white empty lakes on the flight with plenty of thick clouds also seen.

The descent past the clouds into Uluru allowed the left side of the plane to see the magical magicness of the big red rock to be seen out of the porthole style windows. Luckily we were on the left hand side and saw it perfectly.

The landing was near perfect and allowed the green grasses and trees to be seen at this time of the year.

The welcoming to the Anangu area was special....
