Okay girls I am going to share my experiences of East Europe with you. So fasten your seat belts as Turkish Airlines flight takes off towards the West.
It was almost a 7 hour flight. Little did I no that it was a no-frills flight. The lights were switched off as soon as we took off our seats. I wondered whether I had entered a theatre instead of an aircraft. There was no entertainment. Lights off......Go to sleep. Yuck! I grunted turned on my side and tried to sleep. The wail of a baby here and the cry of a toddler there. It was going to be a night to remember.
Just as I was about to doze.............the lights were switched on again. The air hostess made her way to the aisles - dumped a bottle of water and a cream puff on us and vanished again. Lights off.
The Havai sundari ....... and her food.
My sister was a bit angry. I told her to make believe we were sitting in a theatre. Dont we munch in the dark? She replied tartly that she at least knew what she was eating..... what if they were poisoning us? We were hungry so we chewed on that damned puff anyway.
Chomp chomp ..............Grrrrrrrrr
The airconditioning was so bad. It was so cold. I can assure you the temp of less than 14C. Someone must have finally complained so the temp was brought to a bearable limit.
Sleep was still elusive. It was six in the morning but 3.30 local time. The lights came on. This time it was breakfast ........... I think. Another round of a bun, cheese, crackers, a few slices of fruit and tea/coffee. Lights off.
Man, I thought this was a bad way to start a trip. But we reached Istanbul to board another craft to take us to Prague or Praha as the Czechs would say....
Moral of the story: Never travel by cheap airways ....... even if they are 15K cheaper. 😆 😆 😆 😉
