GMG from CGP-DAC return
Depart-Wednesday 3/17/10 Return- Friday 3/19/10
1. Preflight
My dad had work do to in DAC (in Bangladesh), and my mom and I was to come up on Wed. to get Chinese visas for the 2010 Worlds Fair. We had flown GMG before, but I was happy because I could do my first trip report! This is big for me, as although I’m only 13 I really love airlines, so here it is. I hope you enjoy, and comment please! Thx.
2. Flight details:
CGP- DAC=Z5-108 Depart-1520 Arrive-1610 (on-time) DAC-CGP=Z5-101 Depart-730 Arrive-820 (on-time)
(Both on Dash-8)
3. Airport (CGP Chittagong)
CGP is not your best airport. Plain and simple. The international terminal is good for a short wait, but not a long layover. The domestic is really small like really small. Check-in is fast because there aren’t that many people flying. If you fly through here don’t come to the airport before an hour before departure if you are flying GMG or United. The check-in counters open then. After checking-in, eating a snack, and getting pictures, we preceded to security. It is very fast then into the nothing to do in it departure lounge. All it is is seating, no snack bar, nothing. Ok there is a T.V. but… :p Soon we had on time boarding, and departure! :) That is very unusual, most flights are delayed 3 hours or more as the airlines have like 3 planes with 30 departures a day (guessing) :p. No line at runway (we were the only plane at the airport), and a quick take off.
4. Flight (Z5-108)
Although these are 50min flights there is always a snack basket that the FA passes around with crackers, cakes, chocolates, etc. There is also mango juice and bottled water. I spent the flight reading (I was missing school) and taking pics (sorry I don’t know how to upload, but when I do I will). The seats are comfy for a short flight and the legroom is all right (better on Kingfisher) for a prop. All too soon we landed. We taxied to a remote stand at the International terminal, and a bus was waiting for us to take us to the domestic. We didn’t check bags, so just walked out and saw my dad.
5. Airport (DAC Dhaka)
After 2 nights at DAC we went to the airport with Chinese visas in our passports, for our flight to CGP. Check-in fast, and then through security into the departure lounge. This one is better here in terms of stuff to do and size, but at CGP it is cleaner. Boarding was called on time again, and we were bused to the plane. Takeoff on-time again! :)
6. Flight (Z5-101)
In the air I had a nice surprise, as this was a breakfast flight they served snack boxes with shingaras, sweet bread, and chicken sandwiches! The food was very good, and felt like service from CGP-CCU! :) Flight spent the same way as last time, and all too soon it was time to land. We didn’t check bags again, so we walked out on the street, back into Chittagong! Oh well! :p
6.Verdict
All in all 2 great flights! :D I hope they turn into a world wide full service airline like Singapore Airlines or at least like Continental. Great job GMG! ^ :) Thx for reading :)
