A very good friend of mine was on the flight in seat 44A.

I was talking to her on the phone for around 1 hr 30 min as she waited the boarding call.

According to her, they had decorated the gatyes with baloons and other stuff, and there were photogrophers taking picture of the flight and cabin crew. Apparently we both ran out of credit before she got on the plane, and my landline number doesnt connect to 0306.

Will get more information from her soon and post it here.

Well forum member Mohd Ali (Aer Pak) was supposed to be there too and he told me he'd be taking some pics of the arrival etc.

May i ask why your friend decided to fly to STN and not LHR?

She came to KHI for the summer with her family. However, since her A-level results were coming out on the 17th, she had to leave by herself, and since her family was still over here, she had to stay with her uncle who lives near STN...thats why...

so for her, it was basically LHR - KHI - STN

See? STN does have its advantages.

What sort of coach connection is it from Stansted, National Express and I take it arrives at Victoria? That is pretty handy if it does, straight into Central London.

From my travelling source, i can tell u that the plane was almost half empty,. and most of the passengers were villagers who apparently had staring problems. Being an 18 year old travelling alone, that did cause her some problems. Fortunately, the seat next to her was empty. The service was good only because it had to be, and she wasnt too fond of the aircraft either. All in all, nothing special!!

Although, they did force her to take a picture with the crew at the end of the flight
