Thankfully, we made our Doha connection to Brisbane—though not in the seats we had carefully selected and paid for. Somewhere along the way, they’d been reassigned to other passengers, leaving us with less comfortable spots for the long haul.

Determined to stay awake through the journey, we managed only about four hours of sleep each across the entire flight. By the time we landed at 10:43 p.m. Brisbane time, the thought of a bed at the Ibis felt like a dream waiting just beyond border security.
Customs was straightforward: our wooden Christmas decoration and chocolate were waved through at the secondary checkpoint without fuss. Luggage arrived safely, and we collected our duty-free items before heading to valet parking. The car pickup went smoothly—though amusingly, the paperwork had us scheduled for collection the following day.
From there it was just a short drive, about a kilometer down the road, to the Ibis. Tomorrow, we’ll make the final leg home to Toowoomba. Not bad considering we just travelled over 16000km from Paris to Brisbane over 24 hours!
