Hello KUALANAMU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

As it's been decided that Polonia airport would be closed on 25 of July and Kualanamu airport would operated on the next day, many people commented on it, including ME!
Deep inside my heart, I thought it would be postpone AGAIN because this issue was floating in the air since 2009 (when I about started my diploma).
Well, eventually, it WAS real. So, on 26 of July no more MES code, it's changed to KNO code.

On 2nd of August, I made my first flyt from LCCT to KNO.
It was a night flight and when I reached KNO, it rained. In the international arrival terminal building, it was quiet, and the immigration was like a mini version of KLIA (so please imagine by yourself!). The immigration process was real quick BUT waiting for the luggage was unpleasantly long. To make it worst, there were no trolley AT ALL. When a worker came with maybe around 5 trolleys, all the passengers were fighting over it. I only waited for a small luggage so it was fine for me.
After taking my luggage, I went out, someone was there to picked me up. So, we went to the parking straight away and I could tell you there were a lot of people that night, there were really a long queue just to pay the parking; it was about 20 minutes. Hmmphh.
I estimated the journey from KNO to my house would be 1.5 or 2 hours but alhamdulillah it was only an hour.

On 7th of August, I made my first domestic flight with my family; Medan- Palembang.
Our flight was 5.20 pm and we left home at 2pm (considering that it would be crowded)! But we're wrong. It took only 50 minutes from home to KNO.
In the departure building, I was fascinating to see there were a lot of shop would be open soon; kipling, cotton on, swatch, etc.
The waiting room was comfortable and wifi was really fast!

On 10th of August, we arrived at Medan from Palembang.
Again, we waited toooooo longggggggggg for the luggages however, unlike the international building, in domestic building, there was a lot of trolley.
My brother and I went to toilet when our parent was waiting for the luggage. The toilet was far from expected. There were 4 toilet cabinets in ladies room but only 1 could be functioned! ONE. Ok!
Finally, we also welcomed by rain and 2 hours long to drove to home.

My mom saw the news that on 12-13 August, it was really jam, so on 14 of August, my flight to Kuala Lumpur was 11.00 am but I left home at 7.00 am. You know how many minutes did it take? Only 45 MINUTES.
Oooohhhhhhh, to go to airport was unpredictable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, the toilet in international departure was really fresh, clean and comfortable.


Ehm, so yeah, that's my story of KNO. Personally I proud of the brand new airport, however, there were still some unfinished works. We still need to maintain a good service to give a better service. FIGHTING KNO!
