This time I tried a new airline ‘Kingfisher’. Yes it is the same company that does the famous Indian beer ‘Kingfisher’. Pretty good.

I arrived at Gandhi International on 1st December. The airport really is very nice

and a good first impression to India.

I had to fly back from China and stay overnight, just for a few hours, at IBIS Heathrow.

Only £35 for the night! Pretty amazing. Then an early bus back to the airport.

I was amazed how the ordinary terminal entrance above was boring and the Virgin entrance was so ‘Welcome’ ing….

The the Singapore Airlines Airbus 380 again. I think I have flown this to Singapore

I flew KLM from London to Amsterdam to Beijing. Beijing is such a large airport

and, not surprisingly, with plenty of people.
