On my official mission to Medan Indonesia again... This time no pictures since its going to be the same old stuff again... but I do have an interesting tale to tell haha...
On Monday 12 Jan 09, my flight was scheduled in the evening, the commerical SilkAir one. I left home and arrived at the airport 1 hour before departure time, had my dinner at Burger King and went into the departure zone. Went to the entertainment deck sit around and relax, before proceeding to the boarding gate. When I reach there, I was surprise! It was 5 min before departure, and the boarding gate was already close. I try getting the security guard in there to open the gate, he did but refuse my entry. I had to walk over to the transfer counter to report to them. I did so, and was rather angry as I had not heard any annoucement made or my name being called. They told me that no name will be called and annoucement had been made once. Best of all, while I was trying to reason with the guy serving me, the supposedly duty officer serving another customer at the counter next to me interrupted and told me off. That definitely made me blow, but I remain compose and gave them a good one before walking off to make a few calls. When I return the so-called duty officer was not in sight. The guy continued to resolve my issue and get me on the next flight to Medan on the next day evening. What a day!
The following day, when to the airport and reached the boarding gate early, no more room for error haha... board the plane and flew to Medan. Interestingly on the day of the mission, the driver forget about me and did not come to the hotel to pick me up, I had to call the LO before they rush the driver over. A short mission of only an hour and they call it a day. I spend the rest of the day in the hotel sleeping and going for manicure and pedicure...
Oh, still deciding whether to take action against the supposedly duty officer, most probably I will just write in and give them a good one eventually. ;p
