New delhi terminal 3 is awesome.How long it will remain that way I dont know but It was great ! I waited there for filght to Doha for two hours and time did pass really quickly.There were a lot of new things to watch at the airport.In a quick two and half hour I was at Doha airport.
From Doha to Washington it was 14 hours flight so I was little worried.what people do on that long flight.Do they simply sleep,Do they watch movies,Do they read books or what ? This was my first that long flight experince but I should admit it It was not that bad.probably because welther was good and there were no turbulances.I remember some 3 years back on a flight to London I had a very horrible experience because of those turbulances.
Reached and lost at Washington airport.It took me a while to realise that I need to claim my baggage and re check-in for my final destination.Once I managed to do that it took me a lot of time to find the Terminal C5 of washington airport.After a 2-3 minute walk and 1 min train ride I reached at terminal C5.Guess what ! I still had 1 hour before boarding to next flight.Quickly grabbed a cup of coffee and roamed around the terminal.It was soon time to board.This was a short distance flight so watched movie “Karate kid” ,Had Tea twice.Landed at SD airport at 8:00 PM.
And here comes the fun part.My baggage isnt been arrived at SD.Queried about it from UA personnel and lady was very supportive.She quickly found out the location of my baggage.Told me that It is held back at DC and will reach within 24 hours.She took my Hotel address.And after 24
hours I got my baggage with a $250 e -citificate. cool !
I am here on a foreign land for about two weeks now.Time zone is changed so are ways of working.Nothing special yet.Routine office to hotel and sometimes visit to nearby malls/beaches.
Missing India and my family there.
