AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND 2018 – PART 5

Kuala Lumpur Stopover & Flight to Jakarta

Our flight landed and taxied to a gate without delay. For us continuing onward we could leave our carry-on onboard and were then informed to return to the gate in 30 minutes. What can you do in 30 minutes?

Off to Asia!

We left the KLM Crown Lounge and headed to our gate on the F pier, a short walk from our lounge. Again, the Flight guide from KLM was correct as the name on the aircraft was “Tierra del Fuego National Park”.

Upon arrival quite a number of passengers were not only in the waiting area but already standing in line, even though gate agents had not started boarding for those requiring assistance. The agents did do a fine job of finding those passengers requiring assistance and shuttling them into the waiting area right before the jetway. Soon enough, we were in line for boarding and it commenced on time.

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND 2018 – PART 2

Flight Toronto to Amsterdam

We arrived on the jetway in time to allow the airport staff who provided wheelchair assistance to passengers to exit the jetway. Upon presentation of our boarding passes we turned left, walked through the Economy Comfort zone (it has extra leg room vs. Economy) and entered the front portion of the plane. Oh happy day!

Journey Home

As we woke up we realized our vacation was coming to its conclusion and it was time to head home.  Amber had already packed the night before allowing us to effortlessly check out and make the short drive over to Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport.  The Sixt rental car location was sandwiched between the terminal 2 buildings.  This made for a short walk to Terminal 2A. 

The Flight! Toronto to London

We arrived at the gate as pre-boarding began, and I had enough time to snap a picture before they began regular boarding.  Air Canada boards their planes by zone. Business and frequent flyers board right after the usual family with young children and those requiring assistance boarding, so we were one of the first people on the plane. Sorry for the blurry picture but I was excited that Air Canada was using both jetways for the flight.
