Okay, let me tell you about my recent trip through PE airport. It’s actually called Gqeberha now, which still feels a bit weird to say, but yeah, that airport.
So, I had a flight to catch. First thing was figuring out how to get there. Looked at a few options. Private car seemed a bit much just for me, you know? Too fancy and probably pricey. I remembered seeing stuff about shared rides, like shuttle buses. Sounded okay, cheaper for sure.
But honestly, I was running a little behind schedule, my own fault, typical me. Waiting for a shuttle that runs on its own time? Nah, couldn’t risk it. Ended up just grabbing a Bolt. Quick tap on the app and the car was there pretty fast. Much easier when you’re cutting it fine.
Got dropped off right at the entrance. Walked in. It’s not a massive airport, you know? Felt quite manageable, which was nice. Didn’t feel like I had to sprint miles to get anywhere.
Checking In and Stuff
Went straight to the check-in counter for my flight. The queue wasn’t too bad, moved along okay. Handed over my bag, got my boarding pass. The staff were alright, just doing their job, no fuss.
Then it was through security. Standard procedure, really. Laptop out, pockets empty, belt off. The usual dance. They were efficient enough, didn’t take ages. Once through, I grabbed my stuff and put myself back together.
Waiting Around
Had a bit of time before boarding. Didn’t feel like shopping, just found a seat near the gate. Watched the planes outside for a bit. It’s quite relaxing sometimes, just seeing them taxi around.
- Grabbed a coffee from one of the little cafes.
- Checked my phone, replied to a few messages.
- Just sort of chilled out, really.
The boarding call came pretty much on time. Lined up with everyone else. Showed my pass again, walked down the ramp, and got onto the plane. Found my seat, settled in.
Overall? Yeah, it was fine. A pretty straightforward airport experience. Got in, checked in, flew out. Nothing super exciting happened, but nothing went wrong either, which is usually what you want with airports, right? Simple and functional. Did the job.
