25 hours at the airport - Hanoi

Nəşr edilmişdir: 22.03.2017

Chapter 1: How to spend 15 hours at the airport because you were too dumb to book the right flight

15:30h

After being told at check-in that you booked the ticket for the 18th of 04 and not the 18th of 03, failing to get a new flight on the same day, and desperately calling home to tell someone how stupid you can be, you have to accept your fate.

16-17h

Cool-down, get an overview

1. Are there power outlets? Electronic entertainment devices can significantly shorten the waiting time.

2. Are there somewhat comfortable seats available? Both a sitting position and a sleeping position should be possible.

3. Can points 1 and 2 be combined?

4. Explore nearby bathrooms. After all, you have to take all your luggage with you every time, so the path shouldn't be too far.

5. Check out the food area.

After that, it's time for refreshment in the highly appealing wet areas...

17-18h

The desire for coffee increases. Annoying situation, tiredness from the blow of fate, the thought that you would actually be lying on the beach in an hour - you need coffee for the soul.

The big problem: finding good "European" coffee, because you can't drink Vietnamese coffee even if you try. So explore all cafes to see if a proper coffee machine is available. Find a cafe - order an overpriced cappuccino - replenish reserves of luck.

18-19h

Explore the levels of the airport.

Oreos as companions.

* Level 1: Arrival hall - not very inviting

* Level 2: area already explored - check-in counters, fast food, ...

* Level 3: airline offices and "Sleeping Pods" (= small sleeping boxes, mini hotel) - yay, pleasant sleep is guaranteed for a few hours

* Level 4: restaurants and massage studio - slowly this is turning into a wellness vacation

19-21h

A foot and neck massage helps to rejuvenate the tired feet from the exploration tour and forget about the frustration with oneself.

Massages stimulate digestion. How convenient that the restaurants are on the same level. Time for a meal!

21-24h

WIFI is your best friend - browse the internet and use the time to make a post.

24-4:30h

Invest in a "Sleeping Pod" for some restful sleep.

4:30-5h

Finally, check-in!

And find out that the smart lady at the ticket counter booked my ticket for the wrong date yesterday, the flights in the morning are already fully booked, and the next available flight is at 17h.

5-6:30h

Anger, despair, paying 70€ for someone else's mistake, and WAITING FOR ANOTHER 10 HOURS!!!

Chapter 2: History repeats itself

This chapter could not be continued due to the high potential for aggression and mental as well as physical weakness...
