An International flight Experience

Everyone wants to see the earth from the sky. I got a chance to feel it this when I got visa to study in New Zealand. Five and a half hours into my first international flight I had a headache. Nothing serious, probably just a combination of pressure and heat. I was very hot!!! Going through the big steel doors at the airport was a little emotional - but only for a second! It disappeared as quickly as it came on. Getting on the plane was great and the time taken between getting on the plane and departing was quite quick. We only had a short time to browse the duty free bookshop for a book for my friend and then sit in the lounge for 15 minutes before boarding.
As soon as we got on the plane, I felt as though I was already in Thailand. The flight attendants looked great in their coloured uniforms and I saw and heard Thai written and spoken.

Me and one of my friend are perfectly positioned to watch the TV, in the middle on the aisle and 5 rows back. Even better is the fact that we had two spare seats next to us - plenty of room for me to strew my belongings.

Every time an update would appear in between movies I would eagerly look up at the screen, disappointed only to discover that we were flying over outback North Australia. We were currently cruising at an altitude of 35,000 feet. I loved the updates we get on the TV screen! The map charted our progress with the little aeroplane that kept twitching about and changing direction by 45 degrees.

Then we again were in the others plane and left for New Zealand. We got bored after 6-8 hours and got very tired because of the long journey. After each and every moment we were looking on the screen which was telling us how far away from New Zealand we were. You can not sleep in the plane because of the uncomfortable seats of the plane.

But when we came to know that we were only half an hour away from our dream country, it made us again excited.

We found us in the land of New Zealand after some time. Really it was very interesting, excited but a little bit long journey.
