The airport tarmac, traffic was very light at that time. So for the pilots to communicate with the cabin crew, they need to do so by the telephone. Hardly any turbulence during this flight. The pilots were forced to do a go-around due to the inclement weather and finally landed after 1 hr 20 minutes in the air.

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay.

This side of the terminal offers view of the tarmac and if you go up to the food court, you are able to do some photography over there. Once done, I entered the airside of the airport. There are a good number of shops and eateries at the airside. Credit card holders can access this lounge. I can only speculate.

The Air India pilots and cabin crew selected to operate the A350, have to undergo crew familisation program before being allowed to operate the aircraft. Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! We flew through some layers of clouds but it was not turbulent. I think that sums up everything I feel about the flight. Here we are.
