AirAsia was a pleasant experience

Finally, the time came when I needed to visit my office at Pune, India. This is my first visit after Covid, and things appear to be coming back to normal now. I came to Pune six years back, and train was the only means of transport then, taking more than 30 hours. Things have changed and now we do have a direct flight to Pune, operated by AirAsia. If you are planning to travel by air, then I strongly recommend to look for options in https://www.skyscanner.co.in/ . They have pretty good deals and I was very happy with the price that got me the return trip. So yesterday, the day came to fly and my son gave the company to drop outside the apartment.

The check in was nice, apparently, the flight was full, because of Sunday. The flight operates from Kolkata via Bhubaneswar. So it becomes a direct flight for us. Here are some captures inside the Bhubaneswar airport. Seems, they have maintained better cleanliness now.

Here comes some captures above the sky. I am a big fan of blue sky and the perfect combination of cloud with the blue sky, was stunning combination. As you can see, we don't have lot of high rise buildings at my place.

The crew surprised me inside the flight by presenting me snacks and at first I politely refused saying I have not ordered anything. However, they said, as this was a Corporate booking so they have this as part of the journey offer. Sounds good, who does not love such freebies.

I did carry a noise cancellation headphone this time to enjoy a movie onboard, which I downloaded earlier in Prime. And I loved the courtesy of the Cabin crew - they did help me to put my very heavy hand bag carefully having two laptops . Even though there was a little delay in the departure, seems they adjusted some time and arrived as expected. Here comes some captures as we were about to land.

Look at those high rise buildings , appears like blocks placed by a neat architecture. As we were about to land, there was announcement to not use Camera inside the airport as its a military base (owned by Indian Air Force) and photography is prohibited. But then they have some places, which seems to be meant for photography.

As soon as I came out, I could figure out the presence of the military base, as you can see. Some military vehicles without any number plate was there to pick up their VIP.

AirAsia did ask me to share my experience and this post will be used as review of my first experience with them. Let them also know about HIVE.

Nice. I haven´t flown for some 2 years already, which is a very long time without flying by my standards :D :(

Safe trip my friend! :)

Same here, this was the first visit after Covid and was exciting.

Νothing better for me, when I travel by plane, than having a seat next to the window and listening to ambient music! It calms me down and helps me meditate! Always for trips lasting up to an hour. For longer, movies are a one-way street! Nice photos! Thanka for your post

Short trips are enjoying, with music and movies :)

Wow it is really fun to travel by air and am pretty sure you enjoyed your flight

I have never been able to live that experience of flying in a plane but I think it must be something incredible to see everything from above as well as a unique view. I hope it has meet your expectations

beautiful photographs, my friend, especially in which the absence of such tall buildings makes it possible to see how all those beautiful natural landscapes of your country stand out much more

I can say that I really enjoy flying, but as you said, the period of restrictions due to this virus has kept us grounded.

Covid changed many things, and I see now we are returning to normal.

It's a nice experience flying on a plane. I'm sure you enjoy traveling !

Yes, I really enjoy travel, the traveler's life is the best life - carry only that much that is needed.

I find it curious that is an air force base, yet there are civilian flies that land in there, that sure was a hard thing to manage and achieve for Air Asia, now I love that you got to enjoy the movie and the trip, most short trips are great, but a 14-hour trips are nightmarish, my older brother had one last year with his whole family and he described it as a living hell. Big hug and blessings to you and your family :)

Must really be a definite wonderful experience and moment of flying

You took pictures of the plane in flight, these pictures are beautiful. All in all your selfies are very beautiful. so anyway how are you

Doing good, flying after two years was exciting.
