My days off were used up. I couldn’t find a cheap direct flight, so I gave myself a day in Chengdu before I had to go back and sell my soul to capitalism 🥹
I paid 9 million đồng for Sichuan Airlines on MyTrip. The plane wasn’t as nice as China Southern’s, the food wasn’t as good, and I didn’t think the cabin crew were as pretty. A cheap flight home to Hanoi was good enough for me. The airline app didn’t have an English version, so I couldn’t add or track my flight in it.
I checked out without seeing the staff, I saw the paper saying just leave the keys, I took a careful picture of the hotel:)))
There's a direct express train to the airport 30', 16 euros, so I'm not in a hurry so I'll take the regular train. At Rome Trastevere transfer, have plenty of time to go shopping, buy that delicious chocolate croissant that costs 1.3 euro.
I went to the mall and bought a package of bimbim for 100k a package.
When check-in at the counter, because of the few people so I got to do the procedures at the priority desk, when receiving the ticket I asked the staff if there is free hotel transit in Chengdu but she was kind of no pik:))) asked again "for what?" 😁
The camera is under the aircraft.
After about 11 hours on the plane, we arrived in the City.
By then I was so tired I went looking for airline staff to ask about a free transit hotel. I met a woman, a man and a younger guy from Kazakhstan who were all flying to Australia, and we went to the hotel together.
Tianfu International Hotel complex 5*, I only got a 4* room, checked the price, 1,300,000/night
90000 for a flight, 13000 free room, no way to lose:)))
I slept until midday, got up, took a taxi to the airport, went downtown for Sunday service. I booked a ride through Alipay. The driver didn’t ask me for money when I got out, but I went ahead and paid the 13 yuan. I hadn’t noticed the metro stop near the hotel until I’d already spent half an hour at the airport looking for a way onto the train. Getting into town took another hour, and I missed the five o’clock Mass.
The market is full of food, and you can eat a bowl of tea with a sausage and you're not eating.
On the train back to the airport, the style of eating in the bush like back to Vietnam 😎
No more baggage checks, so on 7-11 I bought a bunch of food, got hot water, ate shrimp noodles, but I had to eat in a hurry because boarding time was earlier than expected.
