The first time visit on plane was a terrific experience.

A flight to remeberMy heart was pounding as I walk

PAKISTAN | Thursday, 15 May 2014 | Views [915] | Scholarship Entry

My heart was pounding as I walked through the doors of the Allama Iqbal International airport. I was going to perform my religious pilgrimage to Sauida Arabia. Walking through the automatic doors I enter the airport for the first time on my own. My fear was overwhelming as I got closer and closer.

I got up that morning to make sure that my bag was all packed for the visit. I walked out the garage door to go to my mom’s work. When we got to my mom’s work I went in to her office and went to lie down on her couch to take a short nap. So when I woke up it was time to go to the airport

I was clutching to my bag as I walked up to the counter to get my ticket. I had to wait in line to get my ticket and then get my bag checked. I was thankful to have my dad with me because he helped me calm down. Dad and I sat down to wait for the boarding call. Then I heard it “flight 395 to Jeddah, Saudia Arab is now boarding.” After I handed this little old man, my ticket I got on the plane.

The flight attendant, who was wearing a green dress, said,” Welcome aboard flight 395 to Jeddah.” I sat down and I thought that I was going to be sitting by myself but then this man come and sat right beside me and fell asleep. He was like in his 30’s. There were two kids that sat beside me in the other seats on the other side of aisle. The engines roared as I got more and more scared. The plane started to move down the run way. My hands started to shake as the plane got faster and faster down the runway. So then finally we were in the air and that’s when I calmed down. Four hour and fifteen minutes later I was on the ground. When I landed in Jeddah I realized I was going to have to do it all over again. I had to wait till everyone was off the plane for me to get off, and then run quickly to catch my next flight.

Even though I was nervous I still got through it.
If I do go on a another trip in an air planes I wont be nervous.Because Traveling itself is a great learning experience and i believe everyone should definitely try it on their own.
