Stuck for 6 hours inside an aeroplane might looks fine if you are going somewhere far but not in my experience. Huff.
My QZ 173 suppose to landed after 2 hours flying and unfortunately due to bad weather, we need to go to the nearest airport to land temporarily.
I am so grateful that arrive safely now.
I was so sleepy the moment captain announcing “flight attendants prepare to landing”. Looking at the window, heavy rain and lightening struck here and there and suddenly i can feel the plane was going up and we were above the ocean. Whew. And again the captain said, we were about to landing at different airport, well, try to imagine how anxious peoples inside the plane (including me, no battery on phone, traveling solo – but i manage to keep calm 😸-trying to LOL)
And there we were, parking on the cargo area at the Senai Airport along with 3 others plane who arrived before us.
We were requesting to remain seated inside the plane. I have to say “lucky” my phone was dead, or else i will be busy with all the social media that i had and missed some experience looking around.
People start to queue for toilet and food, one unusual experience that i find on the plane.
Yup, because i was using one of the low cost plane, we need to pay for the food. I am sure the flight attendants must feel very exhausted and yet happy (maybe), they sold almost everything on the menu and some of the senior passengers who were trying to keep themselves busy doing shopping, merchandise shopping 😄😄😄
The captain and co captain were social and walking here and there. Guess they were as anxious as all of us, not knowing how long we should wait.
One thing that caught my attention was a couple (maybe the same age as my parents), they were asking the same question every 15 min “how long we should wait, we have plane to catch”
but the flight attendant was very kind and gave the answer “as soon as the respective airport ready sir”
I was lucky seating with Hermione, she is French and studying here. We were talking about our families and few fun things, she was coming back from snorkeling. Nice to know you girl!.
After spending almost 1,5hr listening to babies crying, looking at peoples who’s busy with their gadgets, anxious peoples, finally we continue our journey.
Everybody was cheering, flight attendants clapping, we are so happy.
I feel like going on a field trip with fellow worker inside a bus, instead of an aeroplane that day 😸
People were shaking hands and we become one big happy family, thanks to QZ 173.
It's my Flair Story
