“FIRST FLY”-THE BEST EVER (PART 2)

Stepped inside the fuselage of that beast with anxiety level rising and with the thrill of my first flying experience. The way to the economy class was through business class. I saw the business class cabin for the first time!, How luxurious it was. The money worth it, I bet. I will once will be frequent flyer in that business class, I bet that too. It’s time to enter in to the economy class.

Do you remember my seat number ?. It’s 47 K. It was almost in the back of the flight, Reaching there was a difficult task. B’coz the passage was obstructed by other passengers who loads their hand luggage in to the upper shelf above the seat. So it took a little time to reach the back seats. When I reached there, it was a relief. Each row of seats have their own racks to keep the luggage. I placed my bag in to that rack, But I kept my mobile within my pocket. That’s coz, I want to shoot the takeoff with my phone. Every passengers are now inside the flight. Cabin crew closed and cross-checked the racks for any opening. Here comes the announcement from the pilots. They were introducing themselves to the passengers and they instructed the crew to demonstrate the safety procedures we have to do in an emergency situation. It was pretty interesting. Then I just looked through the window, It was FANTASTIC!!. A row of beasts ready to fly was waiting for their calls like bulls from different territories waiting to fight and to show their strength.

It’s time……. The giant wheels on the beast starts to roll over the tarmac very slowly. But still I can feel the grunt in that bulky engines. The cabin crew checked all the passengers was wearing seat belts and the seats are not reclined. The flight reached the start of the runway and the pilots are waiting for the authorization from the air traffic control tower to reveal the power of the beast. I switched on my mobile camera to capture the takeoff scenes. There was no regulations to use mobile phone in that flight. Finally, The pilots got the call to punch the throttle. The beast starts to move. I can feel the cyclones of air pulled in to the massive engines which thrusts the beast. My adrenaline levels are rushing. At the moment when I feel the flight was in the air, The engines just sounds like DEADPOOL…. I mean MAXIMUM EFFORT!!!. Now the beast is in the air. In my perspective, the take off was much impressive than I heard before from other flyers. GRACIAS EMIRATES. The only thing I felt was in my ear. Like, air is blocked in the ear canal. But that feeling diminished when I reached up in the sky.

The stress was relieved, Seat belts are now off, seats reclined. Moment to relax. I captured the entire takeoff in my mobile phone. I saw the high span wing through my window. The flaps were adjusting according to the speed and the flight altitude. It’s entertainment time. Emirates provides headphones and personal entertainment display behind every seat. The designs of the seats and the display was very sleek and elegant. Each display has its own remote to control the display and also touch screen was enabled in all displays. The remote also consist the buttons for emergency assistance! How clever ?. The crew member will approach us with a single click on that button. My co-passenger was a north Indian. He told me that he was a frequent flyer in Emirates and he always prefer to fly in Emirates due to its luxury,affordability and customer satisfaction. A lot of movies was provided in that entertainment system. I started to watch some movies and another attraction was, In the display we can see the real-time altitude variations, flight speed, distance to cover and and the duration to reach the destination. How sophisticated the technology was. I am impressed.

The beautifully dressed cabin crew started to give food to the passengers. It’s my turn. She asked me whether I want a vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. I am a non-vegetarian. So I preferred non-veg food. The gave me the foll set of dishes. Bun, Butter, Prawns, Rice, Starters, Sweets, Small packet of sweets, Towlette, Pure water, Spoon, Fork and so on. I tasted that food. How fresh it was. Felt like I am in home. Great work Emirates. In my opinion, Emirates flight is kinda 7 star flying luxury. I had all that food and continued to watch movies. The system got a good collection of movies from all languages.

On halfway, the flight began to vibrate a little. On the very next moment, the flight altitude descended drastically. Felt like the engine was off for a moment. At that time, I was not wearing the seat belt. The pilot then announced that the flight was in an air gutter and warned the passengers to fasten the seat belts to ensure safety. I too fastened my seat belt for my safety. I continued to watch the system. After having all that food, I felt a little sleepy and slowly…. gradually…. I slipped in to the soft hands of sleep.
