The view from my "office"

[Bundy Bear]

Lunch from this office is pretty good.

 

[JohnM]

CIP lounge at IKA is about 500m from the main terminal. F pax (me) and J pax (RooFlyer) front the desk, hand over passport and bag for checking in and the staff do everything behind the scenes while pax lounge. After a little confusion, I was able to guest RF into the F section upstairs and the cheerful egg chef whipped up a couple of good omelettes.

The F section has enclosed sleeping suites.

The concierge will call us at boarding time and a limo will whisk us to our respective birds (EK for me and QR half an hour later for RF).

My lift to DXB just arrived and on its way over to the main terminal at IKA.

My current view-

Hey, whatever you did drron, the pic worked for me this time! You have a view of our room over at Somerset on the Pier.

 

[drron]

I'll come out and wave!

And here's my ride (QR!) As JohnM had already boarded, I descended into the squalor of the Business section of the CIP terminal on the ground floor

Those vehicles are cleaner than mine!

A trick of the camera - they were all quite dusty.

Being a frequent flyer forum, I feel compelled to point out that you can fly over those dunes!

EEEEK! I'm SO glad the lift in the corner took me directly to the limo boarding area and I didn't have to walk through that squalor.

Bell 206 Jetranger?

Indeed.

As much as I'd like to wish it, I was not the pilot - just lucky enough to get a wonderful experience.

Grrr, Jess. Why did you not do this trip in a week or so?

 

[JohnM]

CIP lounge vehicle, and the building so nicely physically disconnected from the whY scrum at the main terminal at IKA - from the bird on T/O roll. A class act - I like it,

Beautiful clear day over Iran.

Looking back at IKA ( far left, another strip less developed at centre)



Great view of a certain facility near Natanz ( must be a mine complex - there a road leading to an underground tunnel)



Esfahan:



Near Shiraz ( we flew right over it )



Quaffing a quite acceptable Hollick Wrottonbully Shiraz at this point:
