| (Flying from Havana - Caracas - Istanbul) |
Flight: TK183 HAV 0900/IST 0855+1 (Turkish Air)
Route: Havana, Cuba - Caracas, Venezuela - Istanbul, Turkey
Hotel: The Oran Hotel Istanbul
The alarm woke us up at 4.30 am. Showered and performed subuh prayers. By 5.15 am the taxi was already waiting for us. This morning only the three of us would be flying to Istanbul. Unfortunate for Hazimin, his flight was not confirmed so he had to stay for another day in Cuba and had to take the next flight to Istanbul tomorrow morning instead.
When we arrived at the airport there was already a long queue at the check-in counters. We made sure all our checked-in luggage will go direct to KLIA. We will bring only one hand-carry bag for a night stay in Istanbul. Once we had our boarding passes, we went for a simple breakfast of a cup of Cappuccino and a plain croissant.
It was a lengthy process for me at the Immigration checkpoint. I was asked to remove my hijab for the camera which I refused. Then I was queried about my visa which I told them that Malaysian do not require visa to enter Turkey. I was cleared after my case was referred to their officers.
At Gate 14, we boarded the TK183 flight which was on time. We were served breakfast of sandwich and coffee after take-off. The three hours flight to Caracas was spent listening to Led Zeppelin.
We arrived at Caracas International Airport, Venezuela at noon. We had about three hours layover on board the Turkish Airlines Flight. The cleaning crew and the security crew went about the duties while we were on board. We took a nap while waiting for the plane to be cleaned and boarded. It was a full flight from Caracas to Istanbul.
The flight from Caracas to Istanbul took about 12 hours. We spent time on board napping in between meals and in-flight movies.
