Day 1

    
    Finally is the day to come! Basic luggage with daily supplies, sun glass, sun screen, boarding pass and extra luggage was well prepared the day before flight. We are actually overslept and almost late to KLIA Transit on the day 1. On that moment, we are jumping from the bed while get up from my aunty! But we are still lucky get to there on time but with sweating after exercise!

   If you flight from KLIA2 before,  you will know we must reach there earlier for luggage check in and line up at the custom session. Another important reason is ----> the distance from the main hall to flight waiting area is a very long journey. But somehow, there are few accidents case was happen while we are walking to the boarding area. 

CASE 1:  During check in, I accidentally put my hand carry luggage to the check in luggage area which actually purpose put inside cabin. This accident happened while my partner announced the check in luggage still able to put extra luggage on it. At that moment, I am just thinking to decrease the weight on my body. But the thing I forgot is ---> I actually put my laptop inside the hand carry luggage. Then, I am totally forget it and just realise while we reach the boarding area ><!!! Then, the only thing I can do to save my laptop is to contact the staff and inform them. But at last, I still get back my laptop in luggage in a good condition.  

CASE 2: En ru expensive scissor and Alfo blade was fall in love with the transparent box at the custom scanning department and decided stay with the box ever forever and leave En Ru alone. Hahaha * scissor and blades are not allowed to bring on the flight.

Selfie selfie and selfie



The time we reach the waiting area is enough we take a lot of  selfie ><

After few hours flight and finally we reach the Bali airport. The 1st thing we do is to connect wifi inform our family that we are safe landed. After that, a surprised case is happen again while we picking own luggage at the luggage collection area ----> The handle of Diyah luggage was missing!!! Actually is the handle was broken during the carry progress. After that, diyah was going to report at the related department to get back the compensate. Insurance from air-asia was quite useful in case of happen this kind accident.

After that, we are going to buy a local sim card for data and contact - we spend about 600000rp for 4gb data and we get extra 4gb data for free. At the end of the day, we all unable to finish the data.  As suggest, about one or two gb is enough for 7 days trip.
