Flight to Vietnam

Finally, THE MOMENT arrived. Flight to Vietnam was scheduled to depart at 1245pm and I left home at 0645pm. I took an auto to Majestic and reached by 0725pm. From Majestic, I boarded the BIAL bus and the fare was 155Rs.

I sent an sms to all my friends and within seconds I started receiving calls and sms. :) good to have well-wishers. It took exactly an hour to reach the airport and the time was 0855pm.

Entry
The counter for Malaysian airlines was 42-46 and I asked in the counter about the procedure. The person asked me to wait for 10-15 mins. Again I'm early. After 15 mins, the queue started and suddenly an official (airport official maybe) asked my passport, reason for travel and browsed through each page of my passport.

Then at the counter, similar questions were asked and finally boarding pass was handed over to me. The cabin/checkin luggage (I'm confused and might be wrong) was taken away from me. I filled the immigration form and waited for my turn at counter 8. I presented the passport, she asked for flight ticket. I took back the passport and showed the flight ticket. She asked for passport and I took back the flight ticket. She seemed to get angry and asked me to give all documents at once. I thought - if she had told this statement at first, I'd have given all the documents at first. :) Finally she stamped some seal - maybe immigration seal and directed me for luggage check.

At the luggage check, the person asked me to remove the laptop, mobile and tag my baggage. I lost the tag and asked him about the tag. He pointed at a gate and after some search and with his help, he tagged my bag and my pouch.

I passed the metal detector test too :) walk, walk, walk and I reach the gate which says: 23.30 ... That means I have more than an hour before I can board my flight. Till then, let me chat, blog and think... Bye :)
