Long flight.

7:26 PM


Last year, on the end of November. Untuk pertama kalinya gue terbang sendiri dan jauh. Jakarta-Hamburg sendiri! 18 hours flight. Sendiri itu bukan masalah takut nyasar atau takut ga sampe nya. Tapi, 18 hours flight alone is damn boring. You have no one to talk to. You have no one to play games (maybe) with. So yeah, I nailed this long flight alone!

Gue naik Emirates. Which I have to transit di Dubai. Flight Jakarta-Dubai is 8 hours long. Setelah pamit sama yang nganter dan bersinetron-sinetron ria sebentar di luar Soekarnohatta Int. Airport, Gue akhirnya masuk and go through the immigration and landed on chair in the waiting room. My flight scheduled on 00:45 in the morning. Midnight flight supposed to be the convenient way to fly. Because you just need to sleep and when you wake up, voila! you are there. Tapi pada kenyataan nya ngga saudara-saudara!

Gue boarding, naro koper dan ransel yang beratnya nauzubillah and sat down waiting for the plane to take off. As the plane began to move, I burst into tears (sinetron). It was very hard for me to leave. But I did anyway. My expectation when the plane is already take off, I supposed to sleep. Nah, I can not sleep! I spent first 3 hour watching Indonesian movie (why?). Later on I sleep. I sleep quite long. as I woke up the sun hasn't rise and I have no idea where am I until I saw the map on the screen. And it's time for breakfast! It was 5 in the morning in middle east. When the sun rise, my first impression was "****! I'm above the Desert". Through the window you can see white clouds in the blue sky and lots of sand! It was couple hours before landing in Dubai. The meal was fine. I love any food, so there was no problem with food :D

Sahara maybe :D I'm not sure..

After landed in Dubai, I get off the plane. Finally I can stand! After 8 hours full of sitting. Thanks to free wifi in Dubai Airport, Gue bisa apdet path. Hahaha. Ngga bukan cuma itu doang, gue bisa ngasih kabar kalo gue udah landed selamat di Dubai ke orang tercinta. Hahaha. Dengat ransel berat dan koper juga berat, Gue cari gate untuk flight selanjutnya. On the way ke Gatenya, Gue bisa sekalian window shopping :D You know Dubai Airport terkenal dengan shops inside it nya. Udah kaya Mall! I change some money buat beli air and postcards :D And I sat down (again) for 2 hours. And a call for my flight!

Dubai Int. Airport. My gate was B28. 
And I didn't see the Burj Khalifa :(

Postcard and money for my collection :D

Dubai-Hamburg is 6 hours flight. I watch some movies karna gagal mau main karet di pesawat, lagian gada temen nya juga. Once again the meal was fine. I have no problem with it. Kali ini gue jalan-jalan disekitar pesawat (yaiyalah, mau dimana lagi?). I got backache, legache, pantat-ache and so on gara-gara kelaman duduk. Dan setelah 6 jam akhirnya sampai juga.

What a long boring journey. Gue cuma mau ngasih saran aja bagi yang mau travelling dengan long hours flight, kalo bisa jangan sendiri. Itu aja.
