On board to Doha

Time: 10:15pm

Back to travel story, and it happened in October 2008. It was a midnight flight from KLIA, first pit stop: Doha, Qatar. Interesting and surprising discoveries on board Qatar Airways; a multi-national crew and stewardess wearing specs. Not a good seat cause its at the center aisle. Luckily, the guy beside moved to the next seat.



Food on board was better than OK. The early breakfast snack was simple, but timing was too early, served at 5am. The toilet came with A/X eau de toilette, hand wash and foam.

Upon touch down, had a first look at a Middle-East country. Indeed correct as per our impression, a place near/on a desert. Had the opportunity to walk on the tarmac, cause transit from plane to airport was by airport bus.

Doha Airport is quite lively, with duty free stalls right after check-in counters. Internet stations were few, but working ones were rare. Anyway, it was a short stopover of 1hr, so spent most of the time lepaking around and move in/out of toilet. Noticed only both of us are the Malaysians left to continue on the journey. Next stop; Paris.
