Have you ever traveled by plane? If you have a chance to fly, how will you feel? I surely believe that you will feel excited. So did I when I took a plane for the first time. Let me tell you further about it.Last holiday my elder sister and I visited our uncle's family in Singapore. We went there by plane. It was my first time, so I was kind of so excited and nervous as well. My father had booked the flight tickets for us online a month before and we did the online check-in a week before. We had also prepared our passports and money in Singaporean dollars.
Finally, the departure day arrived. We were scheduled to fly at 11:25 AM. It took thirty minutes to reach the airport and we were supposed to have checked in three hours before the departure. To anticipate any traffic jams, my father drove us to the airport at 7:30 AM.
After passing the security check, my sister and I headed to our departure gate and had the boarding pass and passport checks. Next, we entered a boarding room and waited to board the plane. I was so happy that I kept smiling for the fact that I would be flying soon. However, I also felt very nervous for I would be thousand miles above the ground. I prayed that the weather was fine and all was well so that we would arrive at our destination safely.
After waiting for an hour and half, there was an announcement that all passengers to Singapore were called to board the plane. My sister and I joined the others boarding the plane in line. The flight officials once again checked our boarding pass and passports. Then, the flight attendants welcomed us on board. Soon we spotted our seats and put our small suitcases in the overhead compartment. We put on a seat belt, so did other passengers. Then, we prayed for our safety.
Before take-off, the pilot introduced himself and wished us a happy journey. Then, the flight attendants demonstrated the safety procedure. Both introductory sessions were in Indonesian and English, so ít was easy to understand.
Then, the time came. Firstly, the plane went on the runway until the opposite end and all the while I was feeling as if I was sitting on a bus. But finally it took an about-turn and the speed increased exponentially. Within a few minutes I was high, up in the sky. The view was breathtaking. The roads, building, fields, everything looked very small. However, there was one thing that made me feel uncomfortable that my ears were buzzing initially when the plane increased the height. Thankfully, it lasted only for a short time and later on everything was fine. The trip would take around an hour and forty miínutes, During the time, I kept looking outside the window and enjoyed everything.
Time just flew and finally the plane landed as scheduled. We put off the seat belt and collected our luggage from the overhead compartment. Then, we alighted from the plane orderly and I was amazed with the airport. It is a really huge one with many planes lining up at the apron. Getting inside, I was more amazed for its design and facilities. Changi Airport is really modern, eye catching and superb.
After passing the immigration, my sister and I walked to the exit where my uncle had been waiting for us since we didn't have baggage to claim. It is one of the most priceless experiences in my life.
