Apologies for the quality of the photos here. I have been struggling to find the reasons why the resolution is so poor and why increasing the size to upload the photos here using photobucket messes up the the image. I believe that its due to a setting change in my camera. Which is probably my fault!
However i have loads of photos to share and will share them in stages when i get the time. I
I had already checked-in online and arrived at 10.15 for the 12.15 EK601 flight. The airport was buzzing with actvity and long queues (if you can call it that) people were there waiting to enter the airport. It took me 25 minutes to enter the terminal and pass through the first X-ray machine. I went to deposit my luggage and was told I have been upgrade to business class as the flight to Duibai was overbooked. I could not complain!
As they do in Pakistan., i was asked to get my suitcase screened before immigration. However the conveyor belts were broken and while airport guys were fixing it, queues built up. It took about 40 minutes before the belts were fixed. During this time i took some photos of hall. was surprised how much patience the passengers there showed. There were about 6 flights departing within 1.5 hours (lot for KHI). PIA London flight was delayed as at 1130 they were still calling for pasengers at 11.30. Immigration was again a chaos ant 12.00 I passed through the immigration/ASF checks and dashed to the gate.
Queues for the second X-rays machines.
Wall carpets (i think thats what they are) decorating the walls still look very attractive after so many years.
Bridge to the viewing gallery
Nice woodwork
While waiting in line for the immigration. peopel with connections were obviously by-passing others.
