The journey starts from here, Terminal 1C of Domestic Departure where I lined up with hundreds of holiday makers. I can see how their faces expressing fed up-ness to this bustling metropolitan life. And it is time to break it free.
I use electronic ticket of Adam Air with a special check-in counter so I don’t have to waste any time queuing. I left home early 9:00AM and got no chance to take any bites. A ‘nasi goreng’ would satisfy my stomach, but look at the price: it’s Rp.33,000. There’s not much choice of place to eat at domestic terminal. The one I took was right in front of security check before entering the boarding lounge.
My flight is KI-332 CGK-DPS of Adam Air B737-300, which scheduled to board at 11:00AM. Half an hour before boarding time, I entered Gate C7 where my plane was scheduled to take-off on time. Exactly at 11:00AM boarding call was aired and passenger walks to the aircraft. I saw some Adam’s orange birds line up at 1C terminal.
At 31,000 feet I saw Mount Bromo on the right hand side of my window, where the plane took sharp turn to the right ready to cross Bali Straits just 30 minutes before landing.
At 12:54AM Bali Time, the Captain announced that we are preparing for landing. We are right above the Bali Straits while descending. Everyone’s face suddenly brightens up and some people shouted “Bali…. I’m coming”. 13.12AM Bali Time, the plane touched down at Ngurah Rai International Airport. It’s a unique landing strip where some parts of it is extended towards the ocean.
