My visit to Dhaka's Shahjalal International Airport was quite an experience. As soon as I arrived at the airport, I noticed a huge crowd. There were so many people everywhere, all busy with their own activities. Some were travelers with luggage, while others were there to pick up or drop off someone.
The parking area was filled with cars. It seemed like there were more cars than I had ever seen in one place before. People were honking, looking for parking spots, and there was a lot of movement everywhere. It was quite noisy, and the air was filled with the sounds of engines and people talking.
Even though I was at the airport, I couldn't see any planes. I walked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of a plane taking off or landing, but there were buildings and other structures blocking the view. It was a bit disappointing because I was really excited to see the airplanes.
Inside the airport, it was just as crowded. People were lined up at check-in counters, moving through security checks, and rushing to their gates. There were shops and restaurants filled with passengers waiting for their flights. The airport was very busy.
I also saw airport staff working hard to manage the crowd and keep things running smoothly. They were directing people, handling luggage, and ensuring that everything was in order. Despite the chaos, they seemed to know exactly what they were doing.
Overall, my visit to Shahjalal International Airport was a mix of excitement and a bit of frustration. Seeing the big crowd and so many cars was interesting, but I was really hoping to see some planes. Maybe next time I'll be luckier and get a chance to watch the planes as they come and go.
