This is the first oversea trip in 2010 and travel in a group. The travel arrangements was done by the Turkmenistan office.Tickets are not confirmed until Saturday.Since the travel is in a group that may be a bit difficult to make arrangements..either via Bangkok or Dubai or Abu Dhabi.At last the travel arrangement is finalised..via Emirates..to Dubai..then Abu Dhabi..then Asghabat.
The travel..from home about 10.30pm..chauffered driven to KLIA.The flight - 2.30am.
Could not sleep much in the plane..Reached Dubai ..abt 6.30am..then took limo to Abu Dhabi.
Waited more than 3 hrs for flight to Asghabat..
Landed at Asghabat..about 8.55pm..temp 5 deg C - it's still winter..Check in hotel
Flight to Turkmenbashy- 7 am about 1 hr flight then travel by car to Kiyanly about 1hr drive.
Ah..at last Alhamdulillah reached Kiyanly.Luckily the phone communication is OK with my Malaysian no- international roaming.Accomodation at the campsite - just like the offshore accomodation..
Next..work..work...

I am going to Kiyanly to work around beginning of March...
I wasnt really sure about the route at first til I saw your blog... You saved me half of headache..
Btw.. there isnt any airport at Kinyali? I heard from my manager there is one there.............
Thank you for visiting my blog. There's no airport in Kiyanli.The nearest airport is at Turkmenbashi.You have to travel by road (quite bumpy).Have a good experience there...which sometimes is difficult to express..experience it yourself and share with others....
Oh I see... thank you very much for your sharing...
Take care..:)
Hi Wan..
I have a question to ask you..
I checked with Malaysia Airline.. They do not have any flights from Ashgabat to Turkmenbashi.
May I know which airline you took?
Turkmenbashi is small town served only by domestic flight Turkmenistan Airlines. Be prepared to experience anything unexpected.
