Imagine what it’s like slinging suitcases out on the tarmac when the mercury hits triple digits. Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust.

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. Here we are, my first time in Subang on a jet aircraft. I suppose the capacity of the airport may allow only 1 jet and probably 2 propeller commercial flights to operate around the same time.

The airport tarmac, traffic was very light at that time. Hardly any turbulence during this flight. Currently, the airport serves turbo-prop and smaller-sized private and business aircraft but the bigger size jets such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 do make occasional appearance at this airport for maintainence.

I wanted to pay for the lounge access and also upgrade myself to the Economy Plus seat on (ex-Jet Airwayys configured aircraft) but I kept getting error on the website and I seeked help with the airline's representative on Twitter (X) but to no avail. A good variety of snacks and beverages are available. That it is, my ride VT-YAK!
