Taking to her social media page, the lady shared a couple of videos detailing her experience at the Wa airport.
According to her, she was traveling to her hometown and decided to fly rather than endure the usual 12-hour road trip.
She flew with a commercial airline on the Accra-Wa route and disclosed that the journey was just 1 hour and 20 minutes.
She stated that she disliked flying with the particular airline because of ear discomfort; however, she expressed surprise and satisfaction after receiving free earplugs on board, something she had not experienced before with the airline.
“I hate flying with PassionAir because it hurts my ears, but they gave us earplugs this time, so it was better,” she explained.
This is a result of the aircraft using a turboprop engine instead of a turbofan.
A turboprop uses an external, unshrouded propeller to generate nearly all its thrust, making it noisier. In contrast, a turbofan uses a ducted, multi-bladed fan that produces thrust from both the bypass air and the core exhaust.
She also stated that the high cost of travel was offset by the convenience of avoiding long road hours, making it worth it.
Ghanaian lady gives tour of Wa Airport
Upon landing, she gave her followers a quick tour of the small Wa airport, which she believed had once been a simple airstrip. She described the arrival hall as very modest and showed the surprisingly short baggage carousel.
She was later picked up by a driver who helped her run a few errands in Wa town before continuing her journey to her village.
Captioning the video, she said:
"This is my first time flying Passion Air from Accra to the Wa and back and I must say I’m impressed and will definitely be flying them again. Enjoyed this trip so far or have and contributions leave them below."
