After a long wait of more than two months, finally on 14 th of August 2014, I have got news that I have to travel to london tomorrow I.e on 15th August. It was such a short notice but I was ready. I have started with my formalities, got tickets and hotels bookes.
My flight was from Mumbai Airport at 7 am in the morning. It was a gulf air flight with 2 hour halt at Bahrain airport.
I left from pune at around 9 pm. It was a mixed feeling leaving a place where you lived so long for so long time.
I reached mumbai Airport at 12.30 am. It was 15th August and mumbau airport was colored in the color of flag. It was looking awesome.
It was still 4-5 hours to go before boarding will start for my flight. I was wandering around the airport looking the new beautiful mumbai international airport.
At around 4.30 am, check in was started. I have done web check in so I dont have to stand in long queue. I have to just get the luggage checked it. I proceeded with check in. I got my boarding pass. But suddenly some thing happened that I never wanted to happen. They weighed my bag and it was around 5-6 kg more than allowed limit. I asked them to adjust it but they were very strict. They just said either throw away the excess weight or pay around 15 thousand rupees. I was really disappointed. I was in mumbai and pune was very far. Also there was no one in mumbai whom I can give excess weight. Finally I decided to pay 15 thousand rupees. After that they checked in my luggage.
At 7 in the morning, I left for Bahrain airport. It was airbus A320 flight. After travel of 2 and half hours I reached Bahrain airport.
Bahrain is a small country in gulf. The airport was small but very beautiful. I had some coffee there and then started waiting for my next flight.
After 2 hours boarding started for my next flight. After a total travel time of 7 and half hours, I reached Heathrow Airport on 15th August 2014 at 7 pm Indian time. At London, it was around 3.30 pm.
London airport is just awesome. Really stunning.
A cab was booked to drop me from airport to my hotel, so sienna.
After half an hour of drive, I reached so sienna. It was a nice studio apartment with all basic facilities.
