Day 0/1 - London, Ashgabat, Kuala Lumpur
Headed to Gatwick Airport 4 hours early as advised by the Turkmenistan Airlines. Definitely not needed, but oh well. Wrapped my big backpack in store bought cling film and found out it only weights 6.1 kg! Was thinking about getting a drink at Spoons but didn’t end up going.
Flight 1: London - Ashgabat
Probably one of the best flights I’ve ever been on. I had an entire row to myself and slept very comfortably. Contrary to what I was emailed, there was a vegetarian meal option (not sure what it was), along with some fun snacks. The film selection was quite limited, however, I was perfectly happy with The Lord of the Rings movies.
Ashgabat Airport
Ashgabat Airport was an interesting experience with security guards monitoring you on every corner. Loved the sunbed like seats though!
Flight 2: Ashgabat - Kuala Lumpur
Maybe it was because I was tired, but I really didn’t enjoy this flight. One of the plane sections was closed off, so everyone ended up sitting next to each other. Moreover, there were no veggie meal options on this flight. Thankfully, I came prepared with homemade sandwiches and Co-op muffins! On the bright side, the views out of the window were gorgeous.
Day 1: Kuala Lumpur
Landed exhausted in the evening and reached the apartment at around 7:30 pm. Managed to exchange some money and do a quick shop at 7-Eleven. Took a walk around the area and stumbled upon a fruit and veg market.
