As I said, the flights were pretty normal. Of course, the stewardesses had to put on a thin cotton overalls on and everybody had to wear face masks, but for me, I’m already pretty accustomed to them so I don’t really notice them.
The food on the first flight was pretty good. In fact, I was so hungry that I started eating right when I got my meal, so I sadly have no picture to share with you.
My stay at the Dubai airport was pretty good too. The transit zone was very big and everything was so shiny! I purchased a water from a small café for 9AED (~2,50) which is halfway reasonable for a transit zone. As I only had a five, I at least have now a nice 10AED note as a souvenir 💵
Waiting there was still pretty boring after a while… I had to wait 3½ h and there was only so much to do.
The second flight was awesome, I had a whole row by myself! Almost everybody had, either there were just soo little people flying to Malaysia or they purposefully spaced everybody more out. Either way it was awesome as I could lay down over three seats and sleep in the most comfy airplane-sleep position there was! 😋
We got some cheese sandwiches before the “night phase”, some juices in between and in the “morning” there was the option between Breakfast with eggs or noodles with fish. Just woken up, I was feeling a bit weird so I just took a bread and with butter and jam.
I only noticed at this flight, that the light always adjusted to the time they want to simulate, it goes from normal bright yellow-white to orange, red, purple, blue, dark-blue and no lights. Also they got stars at the ceiling!
The movies I watched were:
- The Farewell (2019)
- I started it on my last flight but couldn’t finish it then because we already landed. This time I continued it and it’s a lovely story from start to finish! It’s a nice and entertaining movie, I really recommend watching it!
- Family Story (2018)
- This was a bit weird, it was a kind movie about a son who doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps but the main character is sometimes a bit hard to like as he is so hard in his “I don’t wanna be like you! I’m gonna rebell” phase. It’s not about a kid though, don’t get me wrong, the son is about 20/21 as he’s already studying. Still a pretty little movie if you have nothing else you really want to watch on the plane.
- Rent a Friend (2018)
- This was also a good movie, sadly I fell asleep during the movie and didn’t catch the end, but it’s an intersecting concept about a woman who rents a friend in Japan to write an article about “Can women and men be just friends?”. Didn’t catch the ending, but pretty sure she falls in love with him.
My blanket was made out of recycled plastic bottles!
