0192 Extravagant and wonderful air journey

"Dear Mr. Wu, thank you for choosing Qatar Airways, I am Michelle (Lisa) and I will serve you all the way. ”

When turning left from the end of the business class into the first class, Wu Qian found that there were still two flight attendants standing in the first class waiting to welcome the passengers. The quality of the two flight attendants, Michelle and Lisa, is better than the previous ten flight attendants in all aspects, and it is obvious that they can only serve first-class customers after passing a strict selection mechanism.

Qatar Airways has strict requirements for selecting flight attendants, not only externally, but also internally, and must be single.

Michelle is non-Asian, flaxen-skinned, with a tall nose and a height of 170-172, although she can't be compared with Yuan Bingqing, who is so good that she is out of the charts, she is definitely outstanding, and the most important thing is that she can speak Chinese fluently.

Lisa is Asian, and I don't know the specific nationality, but she is probably from Qatar. In terms of figure, he is on par with Michelle, with a darker complexion, very good-looking facial features, and especially lips, which are particularly sexy.

"I can speak Chinese, that's great. Wu Qian nodded slightly to Michelle and Lisa, said hello, and then walked into the first class.

The Qatar Airways A380's first-class cabin has eliminated the luggage racks to improve the cabin space, while the extensive use of dark wood and brass accents gives Wu Qian a sense of ritual of entering a century-old house.

The overall tone of the seats is darker, and the large area of hardwood color contrasts sharply with the golden glimmer of Emirates, which is less graceful and luxurious, and more stable. It is impossible to copy the same world's top airlines, and it is bound to have its own style.

Qatar Airways First Class is designed to be open, with liftable partitions around the seats, which are raised to ensure privacy for passengers, and lowered to allow them to communicate with other passengers, discuss business, or show off wealth, and the design is very user-friendly.

Michelle and Lisa saw Wu Qian and Tian Yewang enter the first class, the two of them looked at each other, and they were a little surprised in their eyes, they received relevant information about Wu Qian in advance, but after seeing the real person, they found that the object to be served was young and handsome, not to mention, and the temperament was very calm. There is a kind of incompatible contrast between temperament and age, which makes them very worried.

Qatar Airways' A380 is equipped with the best in-flight bar in the industry, and there are small bars and magazine sections on both sides of the first class cabin.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Tian, there are still 7 minutes before takeoff, what do you need to drink?"

Wu Qian and Tian Yewang sat next to each other, and Wu Qian said, "Come anywhere, you can do it." ”

The two stewardesses were instructed to work in a very tacit manner, Michelle took out a delicate glass of crystal champagne, and Lisa took a bottle of Kurg champagne from the wine cabinet.

The full name of Krug Champagne is Krug Private Cuvee, also known as Cook Private Champagne, which can be described as the Rolls-Royce of Champagne, and the cheapest price is more than 15,000 soft girls.

The Champagne from the 680,000 square metre vineyard in the walled village of Ambonnay in Champagne is produced only in the best vintages, with only four vintages so far, making Kurg Champagne a rarity.

The Champagne from the Cook Reserve is made from the finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, which are fermented in small oak barrels, rather than in stainless steel vats prior to blending.

Lisa showed Cook's private champagne to Wu Qian, not to show off, but mainly to prove that it was a new unopened product. Picking up the champagne, Lisa said while filling a glass for Wu Qian: "All the meals have been prepared, you can always order if you need anything." ”

Because it takes more than 11 hours to fly from the capital to London, Wu Qian chose to take off at night, and when he arrived in London, it was still dark there, and he could start the day's activities after resting.

Although it was a night flight, Qatar Airways took into account the particularity of this flight, and still prepared all the delicacies for Wu Qian and others, and they could choose at will.

"Noko, what are you eating? I'm full. "Wu came over after dinner the night before, and for Wu Qian's practice, Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin arranged very richly.

Tian Yewang also waved his hand and said, "It's the same, who won't eat at this point, haha." ”

Seeing that the two of them were not going to eat anything, Lisa prepared a small plate of snacks to accompany the wine, a very delicate crispy honey bread corner.

Wu Qian picked up the goblet and shook it, took a sip of Cook's private champagne that he had not drunk, the taste was sweet in the first day, a mixture of strawberry aroma, floral aroma and spices exploded in the mouth, the taste felt great satisfaction, and took a piece of bread corner casually, crispy and sweet, and the two complemented each other.

Wu Qian and Tian Yewang exchanged the taste of this Cook's private champagne, and after a while, Michelle walked up to Wu Qian's side and said, "Mr. Wu, the plane is about to take off, I'll help you fasten your seat belt." ”

"Well, good. Wu Qian put down the wine glass in his hand, sat comfortably on the purple sofa chair, and let the beautiful flight attendant serve him, although there was physical contact, Wu Qian would never be as embarrassed as the first test drive Aston Martin asked Luo Xiaxin to fasten his seat belt.

As I grew up, I actually had a lot less fun, and the initial throbbing that could be easily produced was really hard to get back.

"Is the plane already moving?" Wu Qian felt a slight tremor as a slight engine sound came. He looked sideways out of the porthole, and the plane was slowly moving, and it began to turn around and head towards the longest runway.

Michelle squatted beside Wu Qian, tilted his head and said, "Yes, Mr. Wu, may I ask if there is something I have forgotten?"

"It's fine, it's just that there's very little movement. Wu Qian felt that the plane was really "gentle" when it started just now, and if he was chatting with someone or looking at his mobile phone, he was likely to ignore it. Wu Qian looked at the terminal building through the porthole, the scenery flashed quickly, and he felt that someone was looking at him, a very strange feeling, but it disappeared in an instant.

The take-off and taxiing distance of A380 is very long, and the general small airport cannot take off and land this big guy, Wu Qian also knows this, and only let Qi Ji reserve a 3800-meter runway for him, otherwise he bought a plane that can't take off and land at his own private airport, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

The A380 began to accelerate on the runway after turning around, and Wu Qian felt that the acceleration G value was relatively average, not at all as big as the impact when he drove the supercar, but it felt very smooth and linear. The soundproofing is also very good, and the sound transmitted to the first class cabin is very low after layers of filtering.

Wu Qian's feeling is not wrong at all, the A380 needs to taxi 2700-3000 meters, increase the speed to 160 knots, that is, 296 km / h to take off, but if Wu Qian has the fastest acceleration in the supercar Koenigsegg ONE:1, this distance is enough to complete 0-400 acceleration, and then brake.

Wu Qian felt it carefully, 5 million for a test ride, very luxurious. From start-up to acceleration, take-off, and climbing, the A380 is done very well, with hardly any drastic fluctuations, which may be due to the pilot, but the aircraft itself is certainly of a considerable standard.

"Yezi, have you ever sat on 747? Which one is more comfortable than this?" Wu Qian asked.

Tian Yewang didn't think about it, so he said, "That must be this comfortable." Low noise and low vibration. ”

"I've read it on the Internet, and I do feel that the A380 is better than the 747 in many ways, so why can't Airbus planes sell Boeing?" Wu Qian asked.

Tian Yewang also has a limited understanding of this aspect, and thought about it: "I don't know why exactly, but I know one thing, that is, airlines must choose planes with strong earning power, rather than how comfortable they can make passengers." Didn't you say you wanted to buy an airplane, Angkor, and for personal use, the A380 would definitely be better than the 747, and you can't be wrong with that. ”

When Wu Qian and Tian Yewang were chatting, Lisa and Michelle were unbuckling their seat belts for them, because the plane had entered a stable flight, and there was no need to wear seat belts all the time, and they heard the conversation between the two, and there was shock in their eyes that could not be concealed. What did you just hear? I want to buy an A380 for my own use!

In the whole world, there are really, very few people who can own and afford an A380 on their own, and they are basically enough to count with the fingers of their hands and feet.

The good professionalism made the two flight attendants quickly calm down, they went to the bar to get a plate of snacks, Michelle squatted beside Wu Qian, held the tray in his hand and put it to a very suitable height, his face bloomed with an extremely gentle smile, and said: "Sir, do you need some snacks......?"

After all, it's Qatar Airways, and there are plenty of Arabian-style snacks.

Wu Qian looked at the beautiful stewardess beside him, a small flame was surging in his heart, and the two glanced at each other, and they left with a touch. Wu Qian took a piece of chocolate from the tray, Swiss Delafee chocolate, which is not very expensive, a box is only 300 US dollars, there are 12 pieces, but it is good to be able to provide it for free.

Snacks and alcohol are provided free of charge on board, but they are limited, and if they are really full, they are usually not enough. For example, if the first class cabin is full of guests, basically one glass per person is not full, and there is no more.

But if you are lucky, there is no one in the first class, this champagne can be worth nearly half of the ticket price, and the flight attendant will not deliberately limit it because of the small number of people, anyway, every take-off is a new bottle, and the rules are very strict. It is because of the stringent regulations that Qatar Airways has won the award of Best Airline.

"Mr. Wu, the adjustment button of the seat is here, what posture you want, I will help you adjust. Michelle said earnestly.

Wu Qian smiled and nodded: "Oh~~, it turns out that this is how to unlock a new posture......"

"Poof!" Tian Yewang almost spit on Lisa with a mouthful of champagne, and he smiled: "Angkor, you are really ...... Wonderful witty words, haha. ”

This kind of little joke is nothing at all, and the two flight attendants didn't take it seriously, and continued to introduce relevant things to Wu Qian and Tian Yewang.

Wu Qian looked at Michelle who was squatting beside him, he always needed to twist his neck, so he said, "Your name is Michelle, sit opposite and chat for a while." ”

Michelle didn't refuse, any request had to be met, she stood up and sat down on the ottoman opposite the sofa in front of Wu, and the two sat opposite each other. I have to say that a smile is a good medicine to resolve embarrassment, and the natural smile on Michelle's face at all times makes the atmosphere very harmonious.

"Mr. Wu, there are also bathrooms and beauty spa rooms on the plane, you can use them if you need them, there are toiletry bags here, if you want to rest, there are noise-canceling headphones and eye masks, if you need to shop in London, there are several duty-free catalogues, and the remote control of the audio-visual system is here......" Michelle dutifully explained everything.

"Don't talk about airplanes. Let me ask you, how many years have you been a flight attendant?" Wu Qian asked. His question caused Lisa, who was standing outside her seat, to look at Michelle enviously, trying to rise to the first class flight attendant, how could it be possible without any other goal in her mind.

Through chatting, Wu Qian learned that Michelle came to the Iberian Peninsula, is Spanish, 2 years older than himself, and previously worked in a small airline, and has only been in Qatar Airways for more than 1 year.

"What's your salary at Qatar Airways?" Wu asked.

It stands to reason that this kind of very personal question can be refused to answer, but Michelle felt that Wu Qian had other intentions in asking this kind of question, so she did not refuse, and told Wu Qian 1510.

"Lisa and I are flight attendants who specialize in first-class services, and on the basic standard, we must be proficient in at least two languages or more to be able to take up the post, and the salary will be slightly higher than that of ordinary flight attendants. If converted to your country's currency, it is about 35,000-50,000 a month. The average flight attendant fluctuates between 2-30,000, depending on the flight time. ”

Wu Qian naturally made sense to ask these questions, if he bought the plane, it would not be enough to hire a pilot, and then the two kept chatting about related topics.

Wu Qian and Michelle were chatting, Lisa was not idle, she fetched pajamas and bathrobes for Wu Qian and Tian Yewang.

"You just said there is a bathroom here, right?" Wu Qian asked.

Michelle stood up, pointed to the end of the first class cabin and said, "Yes Mr. Wu, the bathroom is over there." ”

It is very good to experience a bath at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Wu Qian and Tian Yewang took a bath one after another, and then lay comfortably in the cockpit.

At this moment, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, Michelle turned off the headlights in the cabin, leaving only the small seat lamp next to the seat, the smell of champagne and perfume wafting in the air, and with the dim lighting, the whole environment was very emotional.

The two flight attendants saw that Wu Qian and Tian Yewang were already lying down, so in order not to hinder them from resting, they stood far away, and when it was a little deeper in the night, they would take turns to rest.

Wu Qian lay in the cabin and looked out of the porthole, but he couldn't see anything clearly, so he simply closed the curtains.

"Brother Ang, have you slept?" Tian Yewang whispered and slept in front of Wu on the opposite side.

"No, what's wrong?" Wu Qian said.

Tian Ye saw that Wu Qian was not sleeping, so he swooped into his cabin and whispered something in Wu Qian's ear. Wu Qian's eyebrows were raised, and the expression on his face was very rich.

"Really?" asked Wu Qian.

"Can I lie to you? Why, are you going to eat Spanish or Arabic? The dishes are regularly quarantined and hygienic. Tian Yewang's smile was very Zou Tianyang.

Wu Qianyu sat up and said, "Do you think I look like a multiple-choice questioner? I haven't eaten foreign food, so I've tried it all." What is the market?"

Tian Yewang was stunned for a moment, laughed, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Awesome! I knew that after such a long time for dinner, you must be hungry Angkor." The dish is not too expensive, 500-1000 dollars like this, according to the taste. ”

Wu Qian knew in his heart, got up and inquired, but he didn't expect that the dining environment was also more elegant, the restaurant decoration was extremely elegant and elegant, Wu Qian visually measured it, and felt that it was at least 12 square meters.

1 hour later, Wu Qian came out of the restaurant, with a satisfied look on his face, the two dishes were good, the Spanish cuisine was rich in flavor, there was a feeling of enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and the Arabic cuisine was also thick, although the enthusiasm was not enough, it was evocative.

After a full meal, Wu Qian lay down in the cabin again, and he asked Michelle and Lisa who passed by, "What time zone is the British time?"

"Wu, British time is 7 hours behind Celestial Empire time. After getting acquainted, Michelle no longer calls Wu Qian Mr. Wu.

Wu Qian adjusted the dual time zone on his watch, and said, "I'm ready to rest, you guys should go and rest too, there is nothing for you to do at night." ”

Michelle and Lisa nodded and left, of course it was impossible to really rest, at least one person should be left to keep an eye on the shift, in case there was a situation that would be easy to deal with, 10,000 meters in the air was no joke.

The endurance of the A380 is very perverted, it can fly 15,000 kilometers with a full fuel under light load, and there is no need to stop refueling from the capital to London.

Wu Qian slept more ordinarily, maybe because of air pressure or some other reason, anyway, he woke up very early, looked at the time, and it was 5 o'clock in the Celestial Empire. He sat up and looked at the field opposite, still asleep.

"I'm afraid I'm always flying back and forth between the Celestial Empire and the United States, and I'm used to ......it," Wu Qian said in a low voice, and then lay down after speaking, and couldn't sleep anymore if he wanted to. There were still 2 hours before the time of arriving on time, Wu Qian simply didn't sleep, and slept again in London, so that it was more convenient to adjust the time difference.

Wu Qian sat up and stretched, and Lisa, who was on duty, saw it, walked to Wu Qian's side briskly, and said, "Wu, good evening." Lisa's greeting was according to the destination time.

Wu Qian felt a little strange, got on the plane at night, slept and got up and was greeted with good evening, interesting.

"Wash up. With that, Wu Qian walked towards the bathroom with the Armani toiletry bag prepared by the airline. When Wu Qian finished everything and walked out of the bathroom, he found that Tian Yewang had also woken up, and was sitting on a chair with a menu to order, and the two flight attendants were standing aside.

"Noko, how are you sleeping?"

"It's good, the biological clock is almost up, and I wake up. Tian Yewang rubbed his eyes, handed the menu to Wu Qian, and went to wash up.

Wu Qian flipped through the menu, it stands to reason that he should order a breakfast, but he looked at the breakfast provided, and suddenly felt tasteless, the light Arabic breakfast, from the picture you can see is all green leafy vegetables, but there is a piece of food that looks like cheese, which does not arouse the appetite at all.

"Let's go for dinner, this creamy fennel soup looks good, a caviar, huh, and dumplings, and Italian crab dumplings, almost." ”

After a while, the exquisite meal came, I have to say, the five-star airline meal is really exquisite, the cream fennel soup is rich in milk, the taste of milk and fennel mixed together is very peculiar, Wu Qian has not eaten, but I think it is not bad.

Caviar is traditionally served with ingredients such as minced onions, sour cream, and crushed eggs. The small spoon of caviar is made of mother-of-pearl texture, which prevents the caviar from changing its flavor when it touches the metal.

As for the final staple dumplings, they are quite passable, the presentation is exquisite, and the taste is slightly different from the traditional dumplings of the Celestial Empire.

After eating, it was only 1 hour before the arrival time, Tian Yewang went to the business class after dinner to have a meeting with the members of the team, and Wu Qian went to the plane bar with two beautiful flight attendants to chat.

Usually, the plane bar is only open to first-class and business-class guests, which is not applicable to Wu Qian's party, but at the moment there is still no one to taste the wine, and the team members are very measured.

The bartender was a young Bulgarian gentleman with a handsome and sunny appearance. The Chinese aspect is not very good, but he is very enthusiastic, he made three very classic cocktails for Wu Qian, because the degree is not very high, the amount is not much, Wu Qian tasted one by one, basically each is a sip of the amount, three glasses add up to 150 ml.

After the cold wine, Wu Qian, who was still a little sleepy, instantly refreshed, and was thinking about whether to arrange other activities, Michelle reminded: "Wu, it's almost time to arrive at London Heathrow International Airport, go back to the cabin and rest." ”

Wu Qian thanked the Bulgarian bar boy, returned to the first class and sat down, at this time the plane has begun to slowly sink towards the airport, through the porthole, you can see a small area is very bright, that is, the world's largest financial center London, and New York and Hongkong are called "Nurem Harbor".

London has the largest number of museums and libraries in the world, with 19 Fortune 500 headquarters and 7 of the world's top 100 universities in London. London has been ranked No. 1 in the world for the seventh consecutive year in the overall power rankings of world cities.

London is the most influential city in the world on the Forbes Global City Influence List, and in 2018, London beat New York to become the world's largest wealth center.

London has a long history of development, more than 2,000 years of ups and downs, and the whole city is full of time, and the River Thames runs through the city, confirming the saying that the water breeds civilization.

"It's midnight here, and it's the same as the capital of the Celestial Empire and the Demon Capital, it's a city that never sleeps. Wu Qian muttered to himself.
