My flight departed from the new Islamabad Airport on 31^st September around 9:30 AM. The new airport is located just outside the city, so it is much bigger and has a better design overall.

As I was flying through Emirates, I had a connecting flight through the Dubai International Airport for 3 hours. The plane landed at the Dubai airport around 11:40 AM.

The airport was well organized, with all the shops located on a straight line. There were a diverse set of people working at the airport, all conversing in their local languages.

The next flight was to the Geneva International Airport with a flight time of 6 hours. When departing from Dubai airport, the runway was very congested, so the take off was delayed by ~20 minutes.

The in-flight entertainment system on Emirates is impeccable. It shows the plane’s current location, its altitude, outside temperature, and other neat stuff. There are also two external cameras on the bottom and front of the plane, which give a really nice view when landing and taking off.

Departing from Dubai at 3:20 PM.

For lunch, we had lemon and oregano chicken, with some salad and a chocolate mousse. The airline also provided a turkey sandwich before landing.

The plane flew over ten countries (in order): Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, and finally Switzerland. After crossing the Adriatic Sea and entering Europe, the weather was mostly cloudy.

We landed at Geneva airport around 7:50 PM. I was expecting it to be really cold at that time, but the temperature was around ~18° C. After the collection of luggage, the airport provides passengers a free public transport ticket, which is valid for 3 hours.
