Chapter 194: Boarding
It was almost time to board the plane, and at no later or too early, the flight attendants of the Herculesus went directly to the tarmac. She took the shuttle bus directly to pick up people here - after all, for a ticket of a few hundred taels, it is not too much to provide such a thoughtful service
There is no need to go through any check-in formalities, let alone queues. They didn't enter the terminal of Constantonia Airport from start to finish, got in the car and went straight to boarding. While this may pose a risk in terms of security procedures, it is obviously not a big problem for passengers who can afford such an expensive ticket. The only thing they had to do was show their tickets and personal documents on the shuttle bus
Lu Huaiyang showed a military ID, and others, including Shang Luo, all showed a student ID, mainly to prevent fraudulent rides.
After confirmation, the flight attendant accepted their tickets on the shuttle bus and sent the ticket stubs back to their places one by one in small paper bags. All they have to do is complete, all that's left is to enjoy the journey.
The shuttle bus stops at the pier to change to a traffic boat, which is Lan Fong's own boat, with a yellow and black hibiscus logo on it, which is also a common symbol for the whole Lan Fang. From here, everything is taken over by Lanfang.
As he slowly approached in a transportation boat, Shang Luo realized what a big plane the Herculess wasβit was simply a ship flying in the sky. Although the displacement is different, the wingspan of 97.83 meters is already more than the length of many frigates. The height of the frigate's side is mostly level with the dock, and the volume is not visible. And the wingspan of this heavy seaplane hangs high above the water, and when passing under the wings, it even has the feeling of "covering the sky and the sun".
"This thing. It's really big. β
[It's really big.] Compared to the aircraft you've seen, she has a wingspan that exceeds that of the An-225, but the load capacity and length are different, after all, it is not a jet engine. In terms of length, it is about the same as the Boeing 747, and the size of the fuselage is also similar, and it is also a two-layer fuselage. However, because this is a seaplane, the fuselage is more rounded, so the space in the cabin is much larger than that of the Boeing 747. This is actually approaching the limit of the category of seaplanes, and it is difficult to meet the flight requirements in terms of economy and structural strength. γ
"Do you think this thing will be economical?"
[Well, judging from this outrageous ticket price, it seems that there is really no economy. But whatever, it's not you who pay for it anyway, but the Romans treat them. γ
"I do have to rest. Well, by the way, adjust your mentality. After getting on the plane, he planned to find a place to sit down, and by the way, he would study the hunting knife over there.
The boat came to a steady stop at the boarding hatch. The flight attendant brought in a small gangway and set it up between the boat and the hatch.
Considering the center of gravity, Shang Luo was the first to get off the ship. The Spear of the Sun God had actually been on his back all the time, but the flight attendant didn't ask him to put it elsewhere - more than 200,000 had been spent anyway, and a pole was just a minor problem.
Holding on to the armrests, Shang Luo stepped into the carpet of the cabin.
The doorway was led by a red carpet, but instead of reaching into the cabin, it went all the way up.
"Oh~~" Shang Luo kept looking up on the red carpet: there is really a very spacious staircase in this cabin, which is not at all like a plane with a cramped space, but like a real ship. His "first seat in the sky" is on the second floor, not far from the cockpit.
Walking down the red carpet, he found his seat: it wasn't the seats on either side of the hallway, it was a door. When I opened the door, there was a sofa facing forward, and on the other side of the sofa were two large swivel chairs. In the center of the room was a table covered with a white linen tablecloth and decorated with dew-stained flowers. There was also a shoe cabinet and wardrobe at the entrance, and a flight attendant had already prepared his slippers for him - this was completely the layout of the cruise ship, not the space that should be in the plane.
As well as it seems to be just the living room. There is a door in the middle of the room, which is a separate bathroom, but it is probably not this that can take a shower. He went in and took a look: it was indeed a bathroom, and even the bathroom had a porthole.
Shang Luo sat down on the couch. There are seat belts on the couch, which is indeed his seat. He looked around againβthe room was wide enough to fit four or five rows of seats, and the width was as wide as an entire cabin on a normal airliner. This room is unrealistically large. If it weren't for the seat belts on the seats, he really couldn't tell the layout of an airplane.
Inside, he put his spear in the closet and sat down in his seat, and the footsteps of the others going upstairs rang out.
"Wow~~" Wen Yuan was stunned at the door for a moment when he entered the door, "It turns out that there is really such a big room, where can I put things?" β
Shang Luo pointed to the closet and motioned for him to put the rifle in his hand in the closet as well.
Four students and one adult sat down one by one, and the flight attendant followed behind.
"Welcome to Lanfang Air. I am the purser for this flight and my surname is Huang. "The purser, dressed in light makeup, came in with a drink β orange juice with passion fruit flesh wafting through it. A slice of lemon hangs from the rim of the cup, and a straw and a small umbrella are stuck in the cup.
"It was the welcome drink. Please taste it first, this flight will depart on time at 12 o'clock and arrive at Longjiang Pier in Yujing on Monday night. This evening, we will land on the island of Ceylon in the middle of the Tianzhu Sea to arrange a dinner at sea for you. Arrive at Sin Chew's Changi Airport tomorrow morning for a second banquet. Tomorrow evening, there will be a farewell dinner attended by the captain, and the banquet will land back in Yujing. Well, here's the menu. β
She handed a thick hard-sealed menu to the table: "Dim sums, cold food, drinks and light meals can be ordered at any time and delivered at any time." Dinner is at the back of the menu, so please take a look at the menu and we'll serve it to you at dinner time this evening. β
Shang Luo took the menu and flipped through it.
The part labeled "Light Meal" seems to have been delivered in a lunch box. It's probably a normal in-flight meal, and it's served throughout the plane, but you can bring it here if you want to eat it. In fact, the ordinary in-flight meal is very good, the most basic simple meal has the main food and 4 dishes, and there are two cuisines of Cantonese cuisine and Nanyang cuisine 4 meals to choose from. And in the "main meal" part at the back, he flipped through it.
"Stir-fried beef river?" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Can you also eat dry fried Niuhe here?" β
He knows that stir-fried beef river is a dish that needs to be heated, and it is also a very classic Cantonese dish. Can this dish be served as a meal on the plane? After all, the dinner is a signboard, or a signboard of luxury routes, and this is not something that can be served casually to fool people.
"Yes, but that's the main meal, and it's only available at the time of the main meal. Because it has to be fried freshly. β
