ENGLAND.SCOTLAND (1)

A Two Weeks Vacation 

From December 16th Saturday To January 2nd Tuesday 


16-12-2023


Left Prestige Wellington Park at 3 am . Me Usha Srikanth Shelley . Reached Bangalore AirPort at 4:15 am .. Terminal 2 . Superb construction, What a breathtaking view, very attractive and mesmerising .. Took few snaps


Main Entrance entry to Immigration clearance took 45 minutes .. Waiting at Gate 2 for boarding

Boarded 6:30 .. British Airways flight 118 to London

Took off at 7:15 .. 70% Passengers Indians, rest foreigners .. that too mostly in First & Club Class .. India is no doubt a rich country 

At 8:30 breakfast served .. Cake, Bun, a minuscule pack containing Idli Vada Dosa (imagine size), Lassi, Orange juice .. the only item satisfied me is Lassi .. ( 23 years back when I flown to Dubai from Bombay by Emirates, I was served super hot Idli Vada with coconut Chutney .. an unforgettable journey )

had a snap nap .. At 1, wake up .. looked at  inflight seat screen .. flying above Diyarbakir  near Black Sea .. an altitude of 36100 feet .. eagerly awaiting lunch .. no sight at all .. half sleep .. at 4:15 our time, lunch served .. the moment saw the food, the hungry flown away in fear .. can’t find words to describe the standards .. no other alternative, except “kannai moodindu muzhungiyachu

looked at the navigation map .. flying above Munich .. another one and hour to touch down Heathrow 


(Written the above piece, from beginning to till this line, on board BA118 towards London )


Touched down Heathrow at 12:30 London Time .. all formalities including immigration clearance and baggage collection took nearly two hours .. then to Heathrow Tube Station .. thru Elizabeth Line to Custom House station, then by bus to Courtyard by Marriott London City Airport .. had an hour rest ..
