We took AirAsia which was absolutely much much cheaper! But the hassle is that we had to do a transit. Taking the flight frm SG was ok with Aqil as it was direct entrance to the plane. In fact he was excited abt taking a plane as he went "It's a plane! A big plane!"
Aqil even napped during the short flight frm SG to KL. We were so thankful that he was not cranky!
But over at KL LCCT, it was different! We had to walk over to the place coz budget terminals and normal terminals functions differently. As we approached the plane, Aqil began feeling scared...he started crying and covered his ears! :(
As we climbed up the stairs to the plane, he was struggling to free himself frm Ayah. Even in the plane, he was crying so loudly...attracting attention frm everyone.
And the stewardesses started coming over, trying to render some help in settling him down. But one charming steward who came over, carried him and brought him around the plane! And that did some kinda magic! He quietened down...as he was returned to us, he started crying again but we managed to hush him and get him to settle down.
He clung on to me as the plane took off as he was scared of the shaking and all. As the plane stabilised, managed to get him in his seat and distract him with iPad.
We were travelling at night so after an hr or so, he fell asleep all the way till we reached! So, alhamdullilah...we arrived safely!
