This is was one of the more memorable trips for me. Anyone else taken this route?
PEK-FNJ:
I was "lucky" enough to accompany a special group on a short trip to the DPRK. This was certainly an unusual trip for me, especially as it took place just at a time when tensions where high... I did not dare to take picts inside the plane which I really regret now...
Check-In: Efficient and by one of the most attractive Korean ladies I've seen so far... (did not dare to take a pict of her though)
Ilyushin Il-62M: (by far the oldest plane I've flown on...)
The flight was quite full, mainly with diplomatic pax, Kim's VIPs and their families... had a chat with some guys from the German embassy which was quite interessting... otherwise unspectacular flight:
Food: Unidentifiable meat dish with rice but quite tasty and plenty of really great NKorean beer with my seat neighbour...
Service: : Lovely FA's , all female, spoke very good English... as good as SQ or any other top carrier in Y. One thing I noticed was that they have nowhere to sit during takeoff and landing... only handles to hold on!!!
