My first experience in an Aeroplane

My first experience in an Aeroplane

 

This is the first photo of me inside an airport. I am the one in the green dress on the right. I was very curious and eagerly kept looking around to find where the plane was!!

 

 

We took a quick family selfie.

 

 

It was new to me to find the baggages being screened by X-Ray machines.

 

 

This is the Indigo aircraft that we were about to fly.

 

 

Photo of us entering the plane and looking for our seats.

During the take off, the flight started to move very fast and this scared me. I started to cry. But,after sometime the plane traveled smoothly and I became alright. It was just like going in a car.

The distance between Chennai and Coimbatore is 500 kms and it usually takes 8 hours by car. So, I was shocked when my dad told me that we already reached Coimbatore within 1 hour!

 

 

While entering the flight I noticed two celebrities. They are Actor Surya and his brother Actor Karthik. Me and my sister wanted to take a photo with them. We went to them and requested to take a photo. Actor Surya politely said no. He explained that if we take a photo now, then others will start to come for the photos. This will disturb the neighbouring passengers. He said we will take a photo when the flight lands. So, we came back to our seats.

It was an interesting experience ordering food inside the flight. Above the seats, there are buttons which is used to call the air-hostesses. I pressed the button and the air-hostess came to my seat shortly. She asked me what I wanted. I replied I wanted two samosas and my sister ordered cheese sandwich. The samosas were very delicious but they were very expensive. The cost of two samosas was Rs.150. On my return, I ordered Corny Chips which was very tasty.

 

 

While traveling from Chennai to Coimbatore, I experienced sun light and loved the clouds below. They were like cotton beds. The next day, I took the night flight back to Chennai. When the flight took off, the lights of Coimbatore city looked like diamonds. This reminded me of Sindbad the Sailor’s adventure in the valley of diamonds.

 

 

The houses looked like toy home we play in Trade game and people looked like ants!

 

 

This is us getting down from the flight.

 

 

After getting down from the flight, we boarded the transit bus which took us to the airport.

 

 

We finally waited for our luggages to arrive at the coimbatore airport. We picked up the luggages from the giant carousel. Me and my sister were very tempted to jump on it and take a free ride! 🙂

These were my experience of my first flight.

  • Kalpitha,

    I am so proud of you for starting this blog.

    Wish you all the success with this.

    Onward.

    Love,
    Rajesh

  • I was reminded of my first flight I took many years back. Just like you I was curious about everything and kept looking at everything in the airport, the plane, the bus, the inflight magazine, the safety instructions card, the air-hostesses, the food cart, switches, lights, what the other seasoned passengers were doing, I even stared at the carpet on the floor of the plane :D. Good start Kalpitha. I love the fact that you have used so many images to illustrate. I do the same when I have to post something. Keep going. And all the best.

  • Thats a lovely photolog Kalpitha…glad u enjoyed ur first flying experience…most ppl are scared to fly…you are a very brave girl!!! Looking fwd to lot many blogs from you 🙂

  • Kalpitha, First of all Congratulations for your Blog. Hereon there could be many more Kalpitha’s however only one http://www.kalpitha.cm and that’s you.

    Loved the Photolog and each moment was accurately expressed in an Innocent manner, We as Adults, try to make things complex but “Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication” 🙂

    You started at the best time and best part of Blogging early is not only that you write often, but also that it’s RECORDED for your self use as well as others to read and gain out of it.

    My Son 11 Year old Son Hargun does the same at http://www.hargunsinghtikku.com and there is no limit to his smiles and sense of achievement when he Publishes a write up or a Poem on his Blog.

    Best Wishes for your Blog and Your Life!!

    One more thought…. I travelled to Guwahati from Delhi by Train and the fastest Train Dibrugarh Rajdhani takes 28 hours and by flight it takes just 2Hrs:30 mins.

    Last year it took my 34 Hours by Train to reach Chennai whereas time taken by Flight is 3 Hours. So yeah….. Air Travel is takes less time and when You consider Time is Money.. It actually comes out to be the cheaper option of the 2 🙂

    And yes… I too find Rs 150 for a Samosa Plate very expensive 🙂

  • Hey kalpitha,

    You have so beautifully explained your experience frame by frame… There’s a strange kind of innocence in your writing.. which comes from your simple thinking process… Will wait for more such writings from your end! Keep writing!

  • Dear Kalpitha,

    nice of you to write about your experience. I remember my first flight in 1975 when I was 6 years old and I thought that the flight would have sleepers just like a train

    however probably you could improve it by getting a sense of wonder in the article, what did you expect and was it different from your expectations. You mentioned the speed of travel.

    Good effort and keep writing

    regards

  • Well documented, Kalpitha! You have a knack for keeping things simple and descriptive – and that should help you write even better in the days to come.
    To add some data to your experience:
    You flew VT-IAS, part of Indigo’s latest sharklet equipped Airbus A320 airplanes (Series 232 SL, Serial no 6289)
    This airplane is only 6 months old and first flew on 19 September 2014. It was delivered to Indigo 10 days later on 29 September 2014.
    Indigo does not own this airplane! It’s leased from a Chinese company called BOC Aviation.

    Keep writing, keep shining!

  • Hi kalpitha,

    Cool one… vivid descriptions… keep up the good work.

  • Hi kalpitha,

    Very nice article and I am also getting interested to write of my own after reading this(same experience almost on Goindigo flight from chennai to bangalore 🙂 except you met celebrities and our flight is connecting one so no much passengers only around 15). Let me introduce my self, I’m Varsshini of 8th Std. I got more information about you through my Dad who is friend to your father. I heard that you wrote some books and I’m interested reading all of that. Please send me one set of copy and also the accounts detail to transfer money. I took my father permission already and he happy approved my request. Keep writing more and keep send me a copy. Thanks and all the best.

  • Nicely presented. My first flight experince was almost like yours. Full excitement…. God bless.

  • Hi Kalpitha,

    It is a nice write up , I live in ghana & did hundreds of flights now , but your narration of experiences reminded my first experience on a flight in 2003.

    Be thankful to your daddy and feel yourself really lucky to do a first flight while you are so young which we did not have such experience when we are at your age.

    Please do write, study well and aspire big & my wishes for all your upcoming endeavours.

    Please do write up on your farming experiences in your dads farm.
