Spending 4 hours taking a nap in his other apartment. In clean and good room. Breakfast are prepared with bread and omelette. Orange juice with a classic tea milk.. Taste good..
We met with Mr. and Mrs. Rafiq, and their youngest 14 years old daughter, Laiba. 





PAKISTAN Flight Departure

Finally, flight to Pakistan!

Departured from Surabaya when I haven't finished my Idul Fitri Holiday..on July 02, 2017. Papa, Daffa, Fira were all taking me to Airport. My other team member, Agus and Piat was on separate car by the factory.

My flight is started on Terminal 2 Juanda with Garuda, SUB-JKT. It was the first flight for Piat, so she's a little nervous.




Transit in Jakarta terminal 3

Look at them behind me, seem enthusiastic and happy coming at Jakarta airport. Contact their family and taking pictures, hehe...

And then we have to moved to terminal 2. By frees shuttle bus. And the accident happened. Agus mistaken his baggage. same black color. and just find out in the shuttle bus. Calm down Henny, take a deep breath...  we go back to previous terminal using the same shuttle bus. in a hurry we went to baggage claim and complaint office. Luckily that Agus's bag is available and no need more procedure to get the bag back.


My connecting flight is using Etihad Airlines. From Jakarta to Abu Dhabi and continued to Karachi. As Agus's bag incident, we are so desperately go to Etihad counter for check in. We spent 1 hour more for this bag. Running all the corridor gates to find our gates number. Oh, gossh...



Good flight with good service. Finally we could take a rest after the long struggle to the gate..hehe..
Good food, good looking steward/stewardess.. It felt so short for 8 hours flight from Jakarta to Abu Dhabi. with twice meal..But dinner (or suppler) at midnight with sleepy eyes sometimes it so annoying...ooh, my stomach is full.

Midnight transit at Abudhabi.
It was written on the ticke that we used Etihad airlines. But the fact is we flied using PIA (Pakistan International Airlines). We were using connecting small bust to get into PIA gate.




And here we go in the Pakistan International Airlines. Not like in the Etihad flight with multi ethnic and international passenger, using this PIA was mostly with Pakistani.



And another little incident happened again with Agus. With his excitement he took pictures of steward/stewardess. Unlucky, during in PIA when he took stewardess pictures, she was upset and took Agus's cell phone and checked some files. Shtold us that we can take our pictures but not cabin crew. Sorry... Below is Etihad stewardess, not PIA.

Finally at 5 AM local time we arrived in Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. What a tiring journey... we're picked by someone at the airport, I thought that he was the driver. He took care of the immigration, trespass the immigration long queque... wow, it's a little frightening as some peoples got upset because of that. Thank God that the officer can explained it so that we can finished this line quickly.
We just find out that Mr. Rafiq was picked us himself when we met outside and he paid some money to that man..hehe... 

Then Mr. Rafiq drove as to his house as it was too early in the morning and suggested we took a rest for a while befire we go to the plant..
