I'll remember my first and so far only flight in the Cessna Twin Otters of Royal Nepal Airlines. Flight was delayed for one hour because of technical snag. Finally after boarding it in a bus depot style we found the 18 seater plane completely empty except we three and another lady.

There was NO door between the cockpit and the passenger seats. One cabin crew to give us a chocolate and a cotton packet preflight. And a glass of juice along with a peanut packet for the rest of the 25 min flight.

Aircraft flew on VFR, cabins were not pressurized as aircrafts were flowing at very very low levels. The window on the side of the pilot had a lever like in cars to bring it down (YES I'M serious !!!) Pilots had a small 10 inch diameter fan like in taxies in BOM.

While landing in Pokhara aircraft enter the final course just about a 100 feet away from the runway!!!
Scary but a unique experience!

An Air Panama Cessna Caravan between Panama City and a small island with a resort. It was my only experience in a small aircraft to date, and there was no door between the cabin and cockpit, no FA, and only my family was on that flight.

I have done a small a/c flight between New Bedford and Martha's Vineyard on a 2 seater and i was co-pilot... I could listen in on ATC talk, touched a/c instruments, taxieed a lil bit... et al... That was truly the most memorable experience I have had....

I've been on a mountain flight from Pokahara to Jomsom (JMO / VNJS) and around the Ananpurna on a DC-3 piloted by a friend's husband.

Anyone who has flight sim should check out the approach and take off route out of Jomsom to know what I am talking about... it scared the s*** out of me... Kai Tak was perhaps child's play in front of it Smile

Mumbai - Indore flight on Alliance Air, back in 2003! Soon after take-off the cockpit door opened by itself and it was closed only after several minutes when the cabin crew were allowed to get up from their seats!

Mumbai - Bangalore flight on Air India 747 First Class, back in 2006! Had been saving money for months to travel in the First Class of 747 and got the 1A seat, ahead of the nose wheel! I was the only passenger in the First Class but had great fun on a short haul flight!
