FLYING HIGH! |
I did a shitload of flying while I was away. Considering I went away without even having seen an airport I now consider myself an experienced flyer. Here is my summery of the airlines, airplanes and airports I saw and flew. |
AIRLINES |
AIRPLANES |
MAS are lovely. The food is good, the cabin crew are friendly and the seats have quite a lot of leg room. I flew MAS; England- Malaysia; Singapore- KL KL- Kuantan Kuching- Sandakan Malaysia- England |

AirAsia are great cos theyre so cheap! Plus the food they sell on board isnt a rip off and the seats have a surprising amount of room. I even flew with leather seats! Very nice. I flew AirAsia; KL- Kuching Langkawi- KL KL- Kota Bahru Kuala Terengganu- KL |
Gulf Air aren't brilliant. The food was disgusting and the seats didnt have enought legroom. I flew Gulf Air; Hong Kong- Bangkok |
Vietnam Airlines was great. The food was good, there was plenty of legroom and they had really nice fleecy blankets. I flew Vietnam Airlines; Bangkok- Vietnam Vietnam- Australia Australia- Vietnam Vietnam- Bangkok |
Dragonair were good. The food was tasty and the seats had a good amount of legroom. I flew Dragonair; Kota Kinabalu- Hong Kong |
Thai Airways are ok, though I think theyre a bit rough with luggage. The food is good and the cabin crew are great. I flew Thai Airways; Bangkok- Phuket Phuket- Bangkok Bangkok- Chiang Mai Chiang Mai- Bangkok |

These are the different airplanes that I flew on. Most of these pictures I pinched from other sites (sorry) but 2 are mine. |
Dont you just love the steps they use- they make me feel so important Plus the fact I was going first class on this one made me feel even better. |
My first prop plane- it was very exiting. I flew this one Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan |
I think this is the plane I flew first class on- my birthday present from James. Good one. |
The first plane I ever flew on |
AIRPORTS |
I thought about putting all the airports I went to up but Im not sure I can be bothered- I went in loads, I might just leave it at that. |
TIMES AND DISTANCE |
I travelled a hell of a long way on planes. Ive now worked out how long I spent flying and the distance I travelled by plane. Bear in mind though that these are rough calculations and maths was never my strong point. |
