RUSSIA 2019 (ST. PETERSBURG & MOSCOW) - THE JOURNEY

KUL-TAS-LED
Since we are using a travel agency for this trip, SafirGo Travel (half board package), we were told to be at counter G KLIA @1900 to meet with the agency's representative. After receiving our passports and boarding passes and a simple briefing, we then headed to Gate C6 for departure.

Departed KLIA at 1047 and arrived at Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (TAS) @0306. Overall the journey was smooth. Upon landing, we were shuttled from the tarmac to the Main Terminal Building. But halfway to the building, the shuttle bus broke down and a replacement bus took us to the building. 

Since we are transiting in TAS, we were told to board another bus to the transit building. It's quite unusual to take the shuttle since the building is connected. Whatever the reason is once there, we were given a new boarding pass and underwent a security check.

When it was time to board the flight, we noticed and experienced the chaos at Gate B8. There was no proper queue and passengers simply jumped the queue. We departed TAS @0852 and arrived at Pulkovo Airport St. Petersburg (LED) @1138.
