One should hardly believe it, but after the Icelandic volcano with the unpronounceable name has me messed up my birthday party and Germany's fastest Minister for Defence Minister Rudolf Scharping and his crisis management once disgraced really added, it took only four days to the air again miraculously so pure, was that you could fly safely. Reason might be that the volcano is a red emission sticker missed ;-) This time I'm out, contrary to my habit of not traveling with the Star Alliance, but took the opportunity that Emirates is really that great, as is always claimed. Where the differences in the timber class on all airlines are rather marginal. The seat pitch is also based at Emirates still on the standard of 1837 people or so, at least can not be greater than 1.60 meters. And on the aisle one is just as often jostled by the staff, as in others. So what is to be so great? At least the entertainment system is not bad, lots of current movies sweeten a lack of space. Well, that would be 4.5 hours stay in Dubai a little too tight for a ride to downtown was just told. Thus, it was from the photo session with the Burj Kalifa or the luxury hotel Burj al-Arab and there was nothing then I only attempt on a deck chair or a lap to sleep to discover probably the world's largest duty-free shop. By 4 clock in the morning then finally began the boarding for my flight to Jakarta. And unfortunately, I was able to on the flight from Munich to Dubai launched film "GI Joe" does not look sadly at an end, as this on the flight from Dubai to Jakarta was not available ...
The flight from Dubai to Jakarta runs, apart from the amended flight entertainment package, completely quiet, and shortly after 19 clock time is based on the machine at Soekarno-Hatta. The next surprise was it's the immigration procedure. To previous procedures (Arrival Card provide complete, to pay 25 U.S. dollars and then get the visa glued into the passport) will be decreased for the Immigrasi addition to presentation of the return air ticket (in print), more recently, even fingerprints and a fancy mug shot. Apparently, the Indonesian authorities can begin to do with the control electronic fingerprints stored and the image of my German e-passport. No matter the hurdle would be also taken. But the baggage is arriving just on. Again and again, the great scenes at the beginning of the tape, when people argue about the best places. There comes then my luggage in sight and with hearty courage I lift the handle from the band 29.8 kg. From the customs and then out into the humid heat of Indonesia. Astri had told me to go out in the arrivals hall to the left because they would wait for me. Well, there were only a larger number of taxi drivers waiting for customers. So mobile phone out and asked, she is in Jam ... Welcome to Jakarta
:-) After about an hour was greeted by Mme. Now it was time to first come to Terminal 3. But there's a free shuttle service with a minibus, which is like the streets of Jakarta, permanently overcrowded. But the advantage is you can virtually not fall over it. Well, as bad can it not perhaps be that Terminal 3 is just a stone's throw away. Where distances are relatively high in Indonesia and the vehicles are in play. On foot, we would probably have been faster if we would have survived the march through the exhaust.
at Terminal 3 Finally, a chic new development, however, are not so many shops there. Except for some restaurants there's really nothing. So continue to switch from AirAsia, where we were allowed to get bored again about 90 minutes. Al then at some point but still the gate was open was an airport's round-trip by bus to the plane. In the event that someone has not had the pleasure with AirAsia, which are something like Ryanair for Asia. Entspechend spacious was the pilot. Suddenly I got my place in SQ25 Singapore - in Frankfurt again properly spacious. After a boring flight of 2.5 hours we arrived just before midnight in Denpasar. Luggage is collected and then out to the taxi stand. The rest was a breeze. And of the next 12 hours I know nothing more :-)
