Supi Flight in Bombay

For the past few days, everyone has been telling me how Bombay flights are like hell. All the demanding passengers, how the load is always full. But lo and behold, going to Bombay, the back part of the aircraft was empty! Wuhoo! Pearl zone was packed though. Got to ride in the cockpit. Captain Andrea and FO Sabri were really nice to me when they were even joking around with me in the cockpit. Sucks cause the first time I was in the cockpit for take-off going to Bombay I forgot to bring my camera with me and the second time was take-off again going back to Abu Dhabi and all the photos came out dark! Argh! Hopefully they would let me ride the cockpit again during daytime so I could take more photos! LoL! This was the best shot I got in the cockpit, and I'm not even in the picture!

The Cabin Manager, Attreyee was also kind to me. She was a bit busy because she was called on stand by so she was rushing all the papers on the way to Bombay, however, later on that flight she showed me around the aircraft. The crew I was with was amazing. None of them were snobbish. They all kept on asking me if I was ok and if I had questions they would answer them willingly. They'd asked me to do little somethings but never asked me to do the whole service. It was a full crew so things went smoothly except for the IFE system on the way back.

AUH-BOM-AUH was a split duty. We had to go to a hotel for about 3 hours to rest. Oh my gosh, the hotel was just WOW. The bed was comfy, I actually slept like a baby for a good hour and half. The rest of the time I was watching Ice Age 2. Ahihihi. I didn't take photos around the hotel lobby anymore, I was too lazy and I'd rather sleep than go around the lobby.

It was a full flight on the way back, 240+ guests in the coral zone and 20 in the pearl zone. I helped the galley operator prepare the meals and requested drinks for coral zone. A lot were complaining about the IFE so our Cabin Manager had to reset the whole IFE system. Problem solved. Basically, everything went well just like on our way to Bombay. No major hassle.

To sum up my first flight, I had a blast. I expected it to be so bad but no, it was entirely the opposite of what I though it would be. Now for another challenge, next flight to Cairo. Yikes. Another flight that a lot of people keeps on telling me a hard flight!
