I wonder what the announcements were near the beginning of the flight. Some airlines don't say much.
Air travel in Nepal is an interesting experience, a lot of the flying is VFR over short distance but through mountains so this is not surprising. No IFR landing in Lukla
Pokhara is a beautiful city in Nepal. And 2nd largest and clean city. I would have gotten off that plane and stay in Pokhara instead of another flight to janakpur
I read from different source, that it was lack of communication between ground crew, cabin crew and pilots. No one told pilots, that they changed flight number and loaded passengers for different destination.
Buddha Air doing Buddhist techniques of immersing in the present and not focusing on the future or destinations.
I love Pokhara. If I was on that flight, I'll pay them an extra 100 bucks as thanks for landing me there and I'd refuse to leave, lol.
@derek happens all the time. Two weeks ago the FA on my AA flight said the wrong flight number and destination. People on the aircraft started freaking out that we were going to San Juan instead of Philadelphia
I've flown from Pokhara to KTM. No announcements from pilots, and the one FA just hands out a piece of hard candy or gum. No FAs on Lukla flights.
