A month ago, when I came home, I wanted to writing about my trip.. but I got caught up with my work. So this time when I came home for Christmas , I decided to blog about both my trips when Im at home.
Last month my Kerala visit was for the purpose of attending my best friend’s wedding. My flight from Hyderabad was scheduled to take off early morning , so I had to leave home before sunrise. I took the MMTS(metro train) to the airport, hence got a golden oppurtunity to witness the beautiful sunrise on a cold November morning.

The sun peeping from amidst the trees at me on my way to the airport.
The MMTS ensured that I reached the airport way ahead of time and I took the flight to Banglore. On reaching the Blore airport, I had just half an hour to board the next flight. However the rules of the airport made it most inconvenient for stoppage passengers. I was asked to leave the airport through the exit arrivals terminal and re-enter the airport at the entrance in the departures terminal. I was new to Banglore and its airport and I stood clueless in front of the airport, wondering where the departure terminal was. Once I was inside, I ruffled through the crowd to find the security check, coz thankfully I had the boarding pass to the next flight. The security check turned out to be another nightmare. I had to wait over 15 minutes in the long queue and to top it all,when I reached the head of the queue, I was made to stand aside coz the ladies’ security check was crowded. (Well, there was just one checking area for ladies and 3 for gentlemen… So much for equality!! ) Another ten minutes went waiting for the section to be free, but alas, a lady fainted and all the officials ran around to find a doctor for her. Well, it was past boarding time when I finally managed to locate the gate. Now coming to the point, I had never seen a propeller flight before, which is why I took a snap of it.
Now talking about the flight I took to Kerala last week. My flight to Bangalore got delayed by 1.5 hours,which meant that I would miss my connection flight. The Jet Airways crew is very efficient and extremely cordial. They put me on a flight to Mumbai from where I could get the connection flight to my destination. I had no regrets about this trip even though it meant I would reach my home late. The reason for my glee was coz this airbus had in-flight entertainment, which I never knew any Indian flight had (I ve seen it only in Singapore airlines flights). I have to mention another reason why I like Jet airways – the food is awesome! Mumbai airport had me trying to locate the departure terminal, but I had no problem finding it because I dint ve to leave the airport, there was a way to the departures from the arrivals within the airport itself. The flight from Mumbai was breathtaking. We flew above the blue sea which seemed frozen and the green strip of land that it caressed.The view was splendid that I dint notice the time fly away.

Beginning of the sky or the end of the Arabian Sea?
