total transit time 8 hours
unscheduled transit 1/12 hours
gulf air *$!*ed me royally not once but twice. weapons of choice = airbus a330-200 and the boeing 777-200 i am now bleeding profusely from every orifice known to man. Alamak exclamation mark-capital A.
Led to believe that there was only 1 stopover from kl to london. via bahrain i bought the ticket and got on the airline. NO. the deceiving pricks decided to stop at Muscat to pick up/drop off more passengers en route to Bahrain. so the merry men/women that were due to leave our aircraft left..only to return an hour later .this time not so merry and very uber black face. (this was because their connecting flight..also to bahrain, could not be found)
passenger count before stopover in Muscat = 253
passenger count after stopover in Muscat = 253
after the arduous 8 hour transit in the kingdom of bahrain (photos to come soon) i was extremely happy to get on the connecting to london as bahrain's airport is a hole. a very big hole in the desert. k lah you got dunes and windy + sandy conditions+ your name got kingdom of attached to it damn big meh! rejoice 3 in 1? bugger.
drained i slept all the way only to be woken up the captains voice on the loudspeaker.
"Ladies and gentleman, we are experiencing landing difficulties due to foggy conditions at london's heathrow airport. Do not be alarmed as we still have an hours worth of petrol on board."
An hours worth! one hour worth of petrol! what the !!! taking to account that Heathrow is the busiest airport in the world and the fact that they rely only on one landing strip (the Heathrow minute) for all their traffic drove me to a frenzy. I, grabbed my pillow; bracing for emergency landing procedure, bent down and was greeted by this sign.
am i on punk'd?
london
i guess the shonky flight is to blame for the mood of the first image. taken whilst walking along the Thames at sunset.
