Was waiting and waiting!fellow passengers, crew not had any idea when boarding will start. Finally gate opened at 8:45 PM and after boarding flight at Mumbai again waiting start. Was hungry, I and my fellow passengers, 2 entrepreneurs running embroidery machine trading business in Surat for last 8 years, 1 Mishra from Patna and other Mishra from Haryana, they import cheap textile (embroidery) machines from China and sell in India. After diploma engineering were working in Gujarat, servicing textile machinery, saved some money and started own venture. Couple of years back started manufacturing but for them it was not a profit making venture so back to trading.
We were hungry and thirsty, in flight entertainment system not working, no cabin crew knew when flight will take off. Pitched to cabin staffs and got zira biscuit and small bottle of water.
Then 1 cabin crew said captain now doing custom checking, and after some time said just reached cockpit and soon flight will take off.
Captain Ms.Kohli, announced, she came from Rajkot, her flight got delayed and so all passengers had to wait.
Finally at 10:20 PM flight took off from Mumbai Airport. No in flight entertainment system was working and so AC.
Woke up and heard announcement, be ready for landing in Delhi, out side temperature 7* C.
After reaching Delhi airport started running to catch Hong Kong bound connecting flight, all ground staffs were saying last boarding call announced and so hurry, run.
Again security checked in and walked more than 1 km to reach Gate number 13.
Reached Hong Kong at 8:10 AM, out side temperature 15*C and missed connecting Philippines Airlines flight for Manila, I and 1 of my fellow passenger. Next flight at 1 PM thought still not confirmed get boarding pass for that flight or not. Philippines Airlines staffs at Hong Kong Airport dont know what have to do.
Hong Kong Airport is a true international airport. From the terminal where we landed to transfer desk, traveled in a metro. Food and drink expensive.
I asked Philippines Airlines staffs, will get free food or drink for delay and they say get basic meal in flight.
So again start of wait for connecting flight to Manila.
Air India rather 1 Air India staff, Ms.Kohli, started this chaos and still in that unknown loop.
