• First international flight...

    December 26, 2021 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    After boarding, the flight took off from Kolkata at 9 a.m. (local time) and landed in Dubai at 12.45 p.m. (local time), marking the first leg of our international journey.

    Everything about the flight felt new to us. The aircraft itself, the scale, and the overall setup were quite different from the domestic flights we were used to. The seating arrangement followed a 3-4-3 structure, which immediately caught our eyes. Each seat came with a pillow and a blanket, adding a level of comfort we hadn’t experienced before.

    One of the most interesting parts was the personal screen in front of every seat, along with headphones provided to each passenger. It took us a little while to figure out how to use it, but once we did, we found a a whole range of options in it - movies, music, games, and even live camera feed from outside the aircraft.

    We ended up spending a good portion of the flight catching up on sleep. We also enjoyed the in-flight snacks (which were included with the tickets) and explore the entertainment system. Watching a Harry Potter movie mid-air made the experience even more memorable.
