so right now we are cruising at 10.817 meters, outside it is - 55 degrees and our crusing speed is around 985 kn/h as we are passsing over Bucharest. and best of all....there is only 6019 KM to our destination ... - only right. So looking at a world map i finally realize that i am actually flying almost half around the world, this whole trip is getting more and more real, and as it gets more and more real - the sensation hits me, ups actually that isnt a sensation, that is TURBOLENCE!! did anybody say rollercoaster ride...okay so pass Bucharest, straight forward to the black sea, keep Istanbul to your right, a bit more straight, to Tabrz then Theran, and then a bit further and there you have Chennai :-))
Okay so i have to admit that this whole airbus set up, for a tall guy like me (i measure 188 cm) isnt really that cool - sure if you are flying 1st class you get your cousy little bed (come on folks what would a flight be like if your toes arent hurting, your back is soar, your blood circulation in your feet non-existing, and your bum acking from pain...) however there is one thing i have to admit about this new airbus (i think i am flying A330 - 200 so the big one) size in this case does matter, the size of this aircraft from outside is amazing, not to mention the set-up inside - WOW.. I have to admit my favorit part so far is two things, first the food was terrific (bare in mind that i didnt eat from 3.45 till 12.00, i guess almost anything would have been great) i think i had lamb and cuscus and some vegies - overall beats my normal sandwich lunches flushed down with a coke, and of course the chocolade cake (i am not a big sweets fan, but when hunger hits - i'll eat anything..) and the second thing is that i have this tiny little screen in front of me with movies, music and stuff - here i thought i would have to read and study ... now i can just lean back and watch films and tv series - so big mistake for myself to turn it on..
If i was to rate the flight so far i would say all in all great - not perfect, but great... one thing missing is still that extra room for legs for us tall guys, but i guess i will eventually get use to that.. oh did i mention how polite the crew is, they are really friendly and nice, and extremely eager to serve you .. - and no i didnt complaint at all so far :-)))
Okay so off to catch another movie or maybe a silly tv series, or simply just "kick back" and "relax" - yeah right ... where to put the rest of my legs..
....another 6 hours and 47 min to my destination..
