My Longest Flight by Far

My flight itinerary from Penang to Iceland:

Penang International Airport -> KLIA - 1 hour flight, transit for 6 hours

KLIA -> Istanbul Ataturk Airport - 10 hours flight, transit for 6 hours

Istanbul Ataturk Airport -> Amsterdam Schiphol Airport - 4 hours flight, transit for 3 hours

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport -> Keflavik International Airport - 3 hours flight

Total time use to reach Iceland was 33 hours!

It is not an easy journey to reach Iceland after all.

Me meet with Hybrid and Gary on Penang airport, we are the only three departing from Penang. Oh yeah, I only knew Hybrid by person before the trip started.

Then next via KLIA, we then meet with CJ, CK, Ying Ying, and finally Sue Hui, Jenson at the boarding gate as they already check in earlier.

Simple introduce to each other, and we head on our 10 hours flight to Istanbul. Turkish airline not bad at all, 10 hours of it seem better than 3 hours flight in AirAsia lol.

Departure soon to Istanbul

Istanbul was a good start to us, as we have 6 hours of transit, after rough sight seeing around the airport, we find a place and everyone sit down to have a rest. Team start to be more open conversation with each other and just for a while, the team start to blend very well, like some old friends already! This is definitely good start to this journey!

Its good to be tricked when buying turkish ice cream.

Reach Iceland finally 3 hours later, and the ground temperature is around 5 degrees. I think I am able to manage it but Hybrid did advice us to change to long sleeve heat tech shirt as the wind is very strong. Well definitely, he is right! In my opinion I am all right with the temperature, but when it come along with the strong strong wind, it is truly freezing. No kidding!

Landing on Iceland soon!
