Chapter 1298: African continent (1/2)
Chapter 1 298
An hour later, a Huaxia Airlines flight with the flag painted on the sky was vacated at the Beijing International Airport.
Xia Ruofei is on this plane. His destination is Shencheng International Airport, which is hundreds of kilometers away.
Of course, the final destination of Xia Ruofei will naturally not be Shencheng.
In fact, he only stayed in Shencheng for an hour, even the airport restricted area did not come out, and directly took the flight of China Eastern Airlines to the Bolay airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The final destination of Xia Ruofei’s trip is Alure, a small inland country in Africa.
However, there are no direct flights between China and many countries in Africa. It is necessary to turn to some small African countries.
The Bole Airport in Addis Ababa is one of the busiest airports in the African continent. Many employees of Huaxia travel to Africa and travel here. When they return to China, they will also come to Bole Airport. .
Xia Ruofei still booked an international flight of Hua Xia Airlines. Because this flight lasted for more than 12 hours, Xia Ruofei naturally set a ticket for the first class of luxury first class.
In fact, the so-called luxury first class is like that. The seats are more comfortable and spacious. In addition, the seats can be flattened into a bed. Of course, it is impossible to be as spacious as the bed at home. People who are slightly taller have to huddle. Sleeping.
If it is not necessary to change the face to go out of the country, such a long voyage Xia Ruofei will definitely choose a private business jet, even if it needs to be refueled on the way, the entire travel experience is certainly more comfortable than taking a civil aircraft.
Of course, Xia Ruofei is also a bitter child. He has been in the army for so many years. Nowadays, although the conditions are good, it is not enough to sit on the plane for more than ten hours. There are still so many people who are reluctant to take expensive tickets. Economy class!
When the plane took off from Shencheng, it was already in the evening. When the plane climbed to the cruising altitude and the seat belt indicator light went out, the porthole was already dark.
The flight attendants also began to leave their seats to serve the passengers.
The service on the first class side is naturally very thoughtful. The flight attendant first sent blankets, wash bags, pajamas, headphones, etc., and the first class passengers were one person.
Then came the menu first class and was able to order.
In fact, Huaxia Airlines now even supports online ordering before the trip, but Xia Ruofei does not want to be so troublesome, after all, the choice is not a lot, and the appetite of the high air people will be reduced, the taste buds will become dull, eating almost everything.
First class meals are actually relatively more advanced airplane meals.
Xia Ruofei ordered a few foods, and then asked for a glass of red wine mainly to make his sleep more comfortable.
Soon the food he wanted was up, and the plate was quite delicate, and the weight was slightly less.
Xia Ruofei had finished eating dinner after three, five, and two, and then drunk the red wine.
A flight attendant quickly came over and whispered to ask if he still had something to eat.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, ”I have enough. You have to take all of this hard! Right... After the end of the collection, you will help me to level my seat. I am ready to rest.”
”Okay!” said the flight attendant, and then began to pack up.
Xia Ruofei took the wash bag to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. By the way, he replaced the cotton pajamas provided by the airline.
When he returned to his seat, the flight attendant had already laid his bed and held a small quilt.
”If I didn't wake up, wake me up after seven hours.” Xia Ruofei said.
”Good sir!” said the flight attendant, respectfully, ”I wish you good night!”
”Thank you!”
Xia Ruofei got into the bed, put on his headphones, picked up a movie in the multimedia system and watched it. After a while, he fell asleep.
After almost seven hours, the flight attendant came over and woke up Xia Ruofei.
He blinked and sat up, and the plane was still flying smoothly at the cruising altitude.
Xia Ruofei looked at the porthole and found that it was still dark.
He got up and went to the bathroom to wash it, and put his clothes on, and when he returned to the seat, the flight attendant had restored the bed to a seat.
For the next three or four hours, Xia Ruofei was sitting on the seat with some boringness. Because Ethiopia’s time is five hours slower than China’s, so now the country is almost early in the morning, and it’s still midnight, and the porthole is dark. not see.
At about one o'clock in the morning, Huaxia Airlines' Airbus giant landed smoothly at the Bole airport in Addis Ababa.
Xia Ruofei picked up his little backpack and got off the plane.
The airport in the early morning is not very busy. The frequency of take-off and landing of the aircraft is also much lower than that during the day. There are not many people in the terminal building.
Because the flight from Bole Airport to Arule Airport is only two shifts a day, the earliest flight is around 12 noon tomorrow, so Xia Ruofei has already set a local hotel in advance and decided to take a break and come to the airport.
Therefore, in addition to handling the tourist visa of Arulei, Xia Ruofei also handled the transit visa of Ethiopia.
Of course, this is all done under the help of Zhao Yongjun, and it will be done in a short time.
When Zhao Yongjun learned that Xia Ruofei was coming to Africa, he did not ask him to come over and do a good job. He prepared for him in detail. In addition to personally helping him run the visa, there were some trivial details.
For example, Xia Ruofei learned that he needed a ”International Certificate of Vaccination or Preventive Measures”, which is commonly known as Xiao Huang Ben. When he turned his shoulder bag, he saw this little yellow book inside.
This is naturally what Zhao Yongjun has prepared for him.
Xia Ruofei did not go to fight any vaccine.
The environment in the African continent is relatively harsh, and there are still some stubborn diseases that cannot be eliminated. For example, malaria, even if they have these diseases, may even be life-threatening.
However, Xia Ruofei naturally does not need to have such fears. If a practitioner is still infected with the disease, it will really laugh out of the big teeth.
In accordance with ”international practices,” Xia Ruofei clipped a $10 bill in his passport and quickly cleared the customs.
He walked out of the airport and took a taxi directly to the hotel he booked online.
In order to facilitate the transfer, the hotel in Xia Rufei is near the airport.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei looked at the car window with some curiousness. This is the first time he has come to the mysterious African continent.
Ethiopia is a relatively poor and backward country, but Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia after all. The appearance of the city looks good, at least better than the stereotype in Xia Ruofei’s mind.
