On the Way to Hanoi 131006

AirAsia launched its inaugural Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Hanoi flight (HAN) on 041006, so today, just 9 days later, we decide to try it out ourselves.

Departing KUL on schedule at 1700hrs, we are soon on our way ...


... in the setting sun ...


... some 37,000ft over Laos, at 832km/h (or so says my GPS, whose altitude is over-stated by 2,500ft).


Our actual flight path from KUL to HAN. Seems to be avoiding Cambodia. Pls click image for better view.


Half an hour later we land at the modern Noi Bai International Airport, 10min ahead of the scheduled 3-hr-25-min flight. Good start!Posted by Picasa
