Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏

This was my Wednesday night flight going home, and as usual, I went to NAIA about three hours early. I didn't want to rush or stress myself before flying. Thankfully, I wasn’t stuck in traffic which is already a blessing in Manila. ☺️

When I got inside the terminal, I went straight to the self-service check-in area. I’m used to doing this already, but I still get a little confused every time. 🤭 Good thing the line wasn’t long.

After that, I proceeded to self-drop my luggage. This part always feels like the official start of the flight, once I drop my bag, this is it no turning back! 😁😁

When I was done, I looked for a seat where I could wait for the gate announcement. I sat near the screen so I wouldn’t miss anything.

When the gate number was finally posted, I headed there right away. I didn’t want to be too early, but I also didn’t want to be the last person walking in. ☺️

Since my phone battery was low, I looked for a charging station. Good thing I found available one. I charged for a few minutes just to make sure I had enough battery for landing.

When they finally announced boarding, I lined up right away.

We took a bus going to the aircraft. The night breeze felt nice while waiting. It's a sign that, Shikika, you’re really going home. ☺️

I finally settled in my window seat. It's my favorite spot. I always feel safer and calmer when I can see the sky and the lights outside even it's dark. ☺️

After a few minutes of taxiing, we took off smoothly. I was really sleepy, so I ordered coffee. My first time to buy coffee on a plane and I was shocked that the 3-in-1 costs ₱75! 😆 But it's okay even pricey, at least it kept me awake.
