I bought the flight on Trip nearly two months ahead because I thought prices would rise. Two connections made for a tiring trip :))) I later found a cheaper flight with only one stop, but I’d already booked and tried to put it out of my mind.

I landed at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport and hurried through immigration and onto the Wi-Fi.

I couldn’t plug in on the plane, and my power bank was at zero.

I filled in the arrival form and got a temporary entry permit sticker. I found a waiting area, plugged in, and took my time because I thought I could check in online. When it didn’t work on the website I ran to the counter and left my backpack behind. I’d actually checked in successfully, but couldn’t get the boarding pass from Gmail because it was blocked in China.

At the counter the queue was huge. I knew I’d be late, so I went to ask someone from the airline. They sent me back to the queue. There was no time by then, so I went to the priority desk and had my boarding pass in a minute.

It looked like an airport from the future.

I only dared take a picture of a male flight attendant. I was too shy to photograph the women.

I bought two sausages to keep me going while I charged my phone, then went and bought a pile of food to eat :)))

I wasn’t worried about the price. I was worried I wouldn’t have room in my backpack :D
