Washington Dulles Airport

Arrived Washington shortly at 6:16am. Flight was very bumpy and turbulent over Mali and Mauritania probably due to the warm Sahara currents and over the Atlantic close of the Eastern coast of America.

Flight from Lagos to Washington took 12hrs, I couldn't sleep much and only watched 2 movies, most of the time I was glued on the flight map and thinking how slow the plane was travelling at 800+km/hrs compared to Startrek enterprise starship warp 5 😁

The immigration queue at Dulles Airport was longer for citizens than for visitors. By the time we were through with boarder control our suitcases were already out on the carrousel. An improvement I noticed is that you no longer need to fill a landing card anymore. The border control /immigration officer asks all the relevant questions (currency travelled with, food etc) and keys in the responses directly into the computer eliminating the need for a pre-filled card

Connecting flight to Philadelphia was postponed by 2hrs which wasn't too bad as the apartment refused to grant us early checkin Czytaj więcej
