It was almost time to board the plane, and at no later than no time, the flight attendant of the Hercules arrived directly at the tarmac. She directly took the shuttle bus here to pick her up - after all, for a flight ticket of several hundred taels, no amount of considerate service is too much.
There is no need to go through any check-in formalities and no queues. They did not enter the terminal of Constantinople Airport from beginning to end. They got in the car and went straight to board the plane. Although this may create risks in terms of security procedures, it is obviously not a big problem for travelers who can afford such expensive air tickets. The only thing they had to do was show their tickets and personal documents on the shuttle bus.
Lu Huaiyang showed his military officer's ID card, and everyone else, including Shangluo, showed his student ID card. The main reason for showing these was to prevent fraud.
After confirmation, the flight attendant accepted their tickets on the shuttle bus and put the ticket stubs in small paper bags and sent them back to their original places one by one. All they had to do was done and all that was left was to enjoy the journey.
The shuttle bus stops at the pier and transfers to the transportation boat. The transportation boat is Lanfang Airlines' own ship. It has a yellow and black hibiscus flower logo on it, which is also the universal symbol of Lanfang. From here, everything is taken over by Lanfang Airlines.
As they approached slowly in a traffic boat, Shangluo realized how big a plane the Hercules was - it was simply a ship flying in the sky. Although the displacement is different, the wingspan of 97.83 meters already exceeds the length of many frigates. The side height of the frigate is mostly the same as the dock, so the bulk is not visible. The wingspan of this heavy seaplane hangs high on the water, and it even feels like it is "blocking out the sky" when passing under the wings.
"This thing is really big."
【It's really big. Compared with the aircraft you have seen, its wingspan is longer than that of the An-225, but its load capacity and length are different. After all, it does not use a jet engine. The length is similar to that of the Boeing 747, and the fuselage is also similar in size, and it is also a two-layer fuselage. However, because this is a seaplane and its fuselage is relatively rounded, the space in the cabin is much larger than that of a Boeing 747. This is actually approaching the limit of the seaplane category. If it is larger, it will be difficult to meet the flight requirements in terms of economy and structural strength. 】
"Do you think this thing will be economical?"
[Well, judging from this outrageous ticket price, it does not seem to be economical. But what the heck, it’s not you who are paying for it anyway, the Romans are treating you. 】
"I really need to rest. Well, let's adjust my mentality." After getting on the plane, he planned to find a place to sit down and study the hunting knife there.
The traffic boat stopped steadily at the boarding hatch. The flight attendant moved a small gangway and set it up between the traffic boat and the cabin door.
Considering the center of gravity, Shangluo was the first to get off the boat. In fact, the Spear of the Sun was always on his back, but the flight attendant didn't ask him to put it elsewhere - it cost more than 200,000 yuan anyway, and a pole was just a small problem.
Holding on to the armrest, Shangluo stepped into the cabin carpet.
A red carpet was laid at the door to lead the way, but it was not laid into the cabin, but all the way up.
"Oh~~" Shangluo red carpet kept looking up: There is really a very spacious staircase in this cabin. It is not like a plane with a cramped space at all, but like a real ship. His "number one seat" is on the second floor, not far from the cockpit.
Walking along the red carpet, he found his seat: it was not the seats on both sides of the corridor, it was a door. Opening the door, there is a sofa facing forward, and two large swivel chairs on the other side of the sofa. The table in the center of the room was covered with a white linen tablecloth and decorated with dew-stained flowers. There is also a shoe cabinet and wardrobe at the entrance, and the flight attendant has already prepared his slippers for him - this is completely the layout of a cruise ship, not the space that should be in an airplane.
Well this seems to be just the living room. There is a door at the back of the room, which is a separate bathroom, but it is probably not the one that can take a shower. He went in and took a look: it was indeed a bathroom, and even the bathroom had its own porthole.
Shangluo sat on the sofa. There are safety belts on the sofa, and this is indeed his seat. He looked around again - the room was wide enough to fit four or five rows of seats, and the width was as wide as the entire cabin of an ordinary passenger plane. The room was unreal. If it weren't for the seat belts on the seats, he really wouldn't have seen the layout of an airplane.
After entering the door, he put the spear in the closet and sat down on the seat. The footsteps of other people going upstairs also sounded.
"Wow~~" Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment at the door after entering, "So there really is such a big room. Where can I put the things?"
Shangluo pointed to the closet and motioned for him to put his rifle in the closet as well.
The four students and one adult sat down one after another, and the flight attendant walked in behind them.
"Welcome to Lanfang Airlines. I am the flight attendant for this flight, and my surname is Huang." The flight attendant with light makeup came in with a drink - orange juice with passion fruit pulp floating in it. A slice of lemon hung on the rim of the cup, and a straw and a small umbrella were inserted into the cup.
"This is 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. Tonight tonight, we will land once at Ceylon Island in the middle of the Tianzhu Sea. Arrange a dinner party at sea for everyone. Arrive at Changi Airport in Sin Chau tomorrow morning and hold the second banquet. There will be a farewell dinner attended by the captain tomorrow night, and the banquet will land back to Yujing. And, this is the menu."
She handed a thick hard-cover menu to the table: "Snacks, cold meals, drinks and light meals can be ordered at any time and delivered at any time. The main meal is at the back of the menu. Please take a look at the menu first and we will It will be served to you during dinner time this evening.”
Shangluo took out the menu and flipped through it.
The portion labeled "Simple Meal" seemed to be delivered in a lunch box. This is probably an ordinary airplane meal, which is served throughout the plane, but if you want to eat it, it can be delivered here. In fact, ordinary airplane meals are very good. The most basic simple meal has staple food and 4 dishes. There are 4 meals from Cantonese and Nanyang cuisine to choose from. As for the "dinner" part at the back, he flipped through it.
"Dry-fried beef river?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Can you also eat dry-fried beef river here?"
He knew that dry-fried beef river is a dish that requires heat and is also a very classic Cantonese dish. Can this kind of food be served as a meal on an airplane? After all, the dinner is the signature, and it is the signature of the luxury airline. This is not something that can be served casually to fool people.
"Yes, but it is a dinner, and it can only be served at the dinner time. Because it needs to be fried freshly."
