TO SLEEP OR NOT TO SLEEP? ~ THAT IS THE QUESTION…
Its a 6:30am flight so need to be there at 4-4:30 so its a tough one… sleep or not to sleep? That is the question!
I chose NOT to sleep and I had 2 friends over who helped me stay up to 3am and then shower and get ready to go
Had my bag packed and ready weighing it over and over again and its under 8kgs
Called the yandex and got a driver in under 2mins for 1,800amd
My flights for today – Last year there was a direct flight with Wizz but they stopped that flight maybe due to no popularity ?
🎶 ARMENIAN MUSIC! As i got dropped off at the airport there was a traditional band playing fun happy music for those arriving – at 4am geez, these guys are keen!
My first stop… the screens – check in desks
Easy check in with Pegasus i only had a carry on and he quickly looked and checked me in
Its looking like McDonalds in here LOL
The plane wasnt full at all and we boarded very quickly and were ready but had to wait for the luggage to be put on the plane
I quickly jumped into the seat in front of me and got the window seat plus all 3 seats
The beautiful view out of my new window seat
The flight was really smooth and I was asleep most of the time and felt like we landed very quickly
The steward/esses were not friendly at all really
Landing into Istanbul…
Really cloudy and dreary as we landed
The airport was SAW and its a fairly new airport and you can tell – its still being built
Walked directly through to get bags scanned and straight to the gates to find somewhere to wait for 3hrs to my next flight
Great experience with Pegasus with this flight, easy and professional
