..VOYAGE ECHOES (minus WIND)

On board the MAS (Malaysian Airline System) flight to Beijing, I managed to take a picture, a glimpse of the steward/stewardess food preparation area. I was seated just behind the right wing of the plane & the steward/stewardess food preparation area was just a few seats behind me. It was dark & the people around me were sleeping. I felt good to be on my way to Beijing to be with my lady that I could not sleep much so I took out my digital camera & started taking some photos.

As you can see from the above picture, the stewardess was wearing a green sweater of sorts. Either she was feeling cold or she was the head stewardess or like it because the other stewardesses were only wearing the normal MAS stewardess blouse. She was probably making my hot chocolate or fruit juice for me. Lol. My self as usual, always request for a generous servings of drinks on flight. I must have asked for three drinks that night. It feels good to be drinking hot chocolate on a night flight. Super Voyage!

The flight to Beijing from KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) uses a twin engine medium sized passenger airplane, probably an Airbus or a Boeing. Actually I expected it to be at least a Jumbo jet 747 but it shows how more cost effective it is to be using medium sized planes to cater for medium range international flights. I reckon one day I can go on the new medium sized Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Take a look at the Airbus A380 & Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

However, it would probably be on Uzbekistan Airways as I read that MAS (Malaysian Airline System) is only purchasing the super jumbo sized Airbus A380. In the flight gate area I got the chance to have a small chat about the type of plane we were going aboard. He asked me whether I was going to Beijing for business or pleasure. I was going for pleasure but because of the 2 plus kilogram laptop I had in my backpack, I felt like I was going on a business trip. Lol. It reminds me that I should buy a much lighter laptop. Fantastic Voyage!

The above picture shows one of the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) corridors leading to the MAS (Malaysian Airline System) Beijing flight gate. There are many people from all over the world walking, looking for the flight gates for their flights. As you can see, even at night the corridors are filled with many people. I was on my way to catch a flight to Beijing to be with my lady for a week holiday back in September 2007.

The interesting thing about the flight gates corridor is the spot light on the ceiling. You can see that they seem to be randomly arranged like stars in the sky at night. There could be some underlying pattern to the obvious randomness as absolute randomness would prove inefficient for lighting the corridor. The shiny floor reflects the spotlights on the ceiling but there is no obvious glare when you look at the floor. Splendid start to a Voyage!
