Flying a Fokker

On an already shortened holiday, when given the choice:

20 minutes on a Fokker
OR
20 hours of bike, bus, ferry, mini-bus, and who knows what other obstacles

It seems like a no-brainer... and to tell you the honest truth, had I known it was a fokker, I would've made the snap decision even faster, just with the knowledge that then I could say "I flew a Fokker".





I have never been on such a short plane ride in my life! Anyway, that's how we got from Denpasar, Bali to Mataram, Lombok... caught our first glimpse of Mount Rinjani, and from there, started our Lombok adventure (which turned out to be somewhat of a mis-adventure - stay tuned)!





Read the fine print. Note the incongruency??? The worst thing they could hope to do is confuse people in an emergency situation; so which is it??? Is the life vest under my seat, or is it the seat itself!? No, this was not an April Fool's joke. Aaahhh... Indonesian air-carriers never cease to impress!
