Trip Report : PA-400 Airblue A320 AP-EDA OPKC to OPLA

[saqib]

Hi there,

This is my 1st ever Trip Report, flying to Allama Iqbal International Lahore on 15th Sept from Jinnah International Karachi, by PA-400 Airblue A320 AP-EDA, I reached the airport around 0600, after security check the check in was normal and not crowded the gate number was 16 and after roaming around the domestic terminal to kill the time my flight time came , as my seat was 3F i was told to wait a bit since the passengers seated at the back were made to go 1st , as excited i was which am very sure all the passengers might have found rather annoying as i was constantly running a live commentary for my friends info regarding the aircraft , taking pictures from the jetty till boarding i did not spare any moment.

after getting settled in my seat immediately i whipped out my camera and started taking pictures and making movies which i uploaded on my you tube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/saqibmrashid),

after gradually taxing we started to turn on the main runway, the best part was recording the video of detailed view of Jinnah Airport as the airport came into view after we climbed and the aircraft took a turn towards Lahore .

After that i got off my seat and took a trip in the whole cabin , initially i asked permission from the crew if i may take pictures inside the aircraft and they said yes but told me not to take their pictures. so i visited the Aft Galley and took pictures the flight was rather full not a single seat was empty. the crew was very courteous and were happy to show me the Galley area.

i waited a while to let others disembark after that i got one more picture taken at Fwd Galley by the cabin crew, after that i wished them Eid Mubarak and thanked them for the truly awesome experience they let me have on the flight and bid them Good bye.

Cutlass is a mispronunciation locally, actually its Cutlets.
