Look at the picture below firstly. We had to continue flying two more hours and got to Incheon International Airport at midnight. I'm writing about this unexpected visit to South Korea. It's the beginning of Chapter Two of the trip.
Listening to the announcement from the cockpit, we were surprised. The storm usually passes from the west to the east and both Chubu International Airport (Nagoya) and Kansai International Airport (Osaka) are located to the west and must have been in operation for 24 hours. Chubu was very windy and the fuel left in our plane wasn't enough for multiple attempts at landing. Kansai International Airport was already overflowing with evacuated planes. These are the reasons why we had to move to Incheon.
Such an event was new to me and I didn't know what to do and what would become of us. To my surprise, there were no instructions from Air Canada after the announcement of the modification of the destination. The crew must have been in panic.
However, just after the announcement, I began planning to enjoy Seoul or Incheon. There were several places that I had wanted to visit, but I didn't have any maps, guidebooks or cash. Moreover, I didn't know how long we had to stay in Incheon.
