It was around 2 weeks back matter (what is back matter?), I needed to travel a place to visit my friends. Usually, I took a bus to travel to places but I was travelling by plane this time. My flight was scheduled at 9:30 AM and I needed to check in at the airport by 8:30 AM. I had planned to buy the ticket in the early morning and check in at the airport. I slept early at night thinking that I would wake up early in the morning. I got up at around 7:00 AM and rushed to the bathroom to take a light bath. After that, I took a public transportation to reach at the airport. It took around 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach at the airport, using the public transportation. There were numbers of travel agency agencies in front of the airport and I bought a ticket from an agency. It was already 8:30 AM by that time and I again rushed to reach at the airport. I had traveled several time across the airport road but I hadn't got any opportunity to go inside it, so I was completely unaware of airport's inside the inside of the airport. I asked the policeman standing at the entrance door. He pointed me the direction to the counter and I followed his point directions. Finally, I was checked in into at the airport. From the very beginning of the airport, I needed to pass the security checkpoint. I placed my bags into the X-ray machine and the police had manually checked my body. After passing these security checks, I was allowed to enter into to the my airline's counter. I was asked to pay the tax. When I paid the tax and presented the receipt then they give me a boarding pass. I entered a cabin-like waiting room, thinking lots of new thoughts. When I entered into the cabin, a lady announced that my flight was delayed my by 1 and half hours. It's rather pretty and I didn't have any options besides waiting for couple of hours. I saw a canteen inside the waiting room but there their prices is were rather daunting. The price at the cabin is almost six times higher than the normal price. I still bought a cup of tea for time pass to pass the time (?). Finally, the flight was announced at 11:00 AM. The flight was around 55 minutes and the journey is was rather comfortable. Although I was bored due to the flight delay, I was satisfied because of the safe and enjoyable environment inside the airplane.
