Delays…

Our plans for traveling down south, was slightly altered due to a snow storm. So instead of driving down on Thursday, we flew down on Saturday. The roads were too bad and they closed them because of the possibility of avalanches. So early Saturday morning, Jonesh, Ira and myself took a taxi to the airport to catch out flight which was scheduled to leave at 8:20am. Well, we got there and eventually made it to the room where we were instructed to go and wait for our flight to Osh. 8:20 came and went and no announcement that our flight had been delayed or why….9:20 came and went and still nothing. I was rather surprised, no one got up and went to those working and asked about the flight, no tempers started to flare, no one seemed bothered by the delay at all. 10:30 came and finally we were instructed to go to the counters. There we formed somewhat of line to check our bags, just to find out that the computers at the counter were not working and they were unable to weigh the luggage- so we waited again. No complaints, or yelling, no impatient demands of service. They finally got things working and we checked our bags, went through the security, and waited in yet another area of the airport. This time only for about 20-30 minutes. Eventually we made it to our plane, which wasn’t as bad as I was told it would be. No captain announcements, no protocol, no seat belt demonstrations or checks for that matter. They did serve a drink and a piece of candy during our less than 2 hour flight. It was very cool to look out the window at the mountains and see them from the top; we could even see the road which we would have been riding on, and would be on our way home!
