Hey family,
I bring to you this tripreport onboard one of the blacklisted airlines by EU,NEPAL AIRLINES.I wanted to fly this airline for quite sometime and with Covid cases now almost nill I decided to take this short trip from New Delhi to Kathmandu with them.
To begin with Check In, they have no concept of Web Check in at Nepal Airlines I had to literally wait for an hour or so for their check in counters to be opened and someone like me who love to pre select his window seat its a hassle for sure,however,I was the first one to check in and I did get my requested window seat 19F so all good.
The flight was 10-12 minutes delayed due to some issues with the systems at the boarding Gate but it was sorted out rather quickly and boarding was complete within no time.This was Nepal Airlines Second and last flight to KTM on this sector,they operate 2 daily flights.
The Cabin was dull in colour but was kept clean also all seats in the economy had adjustable headrests and the seatback reminded me of Vistara A320CEOs seats.The legroom was generous and there were inflight magazines called Shangri La in each seat pocket and no individual seatback screens or WiFi content streaming to personal devices however,they did have overhead retractable screens which had Inflight safety demo video and Flight Info during the flight.
In Meals we were given one option which was a vegetarian Indian dish of Chilli Mushroom curry and Fried vegetable rice along with a muffin as dessert and choices of fruit juice,soft drink as beverage.The main meal tasted really good however the muffin was rather sticky and made of some cheap ingredient I reckon.
The main highlight of this flight has to be the
The Most Beautiful Landing I've ever experienced make sure you guys dont skip the Final aopproach as the plane glides through the monsoon clouds into the opening to Kathmandy valley with the setting sun in sight behind the Himalayan Ranges as its last rays escape through the slopes of the mountains and light up the city orange.
Overall an average flight but loved it probably cause I love flying lol.
Here is the link I hope you all enjoy it too.
