Traveling home

I decided that since I had a ton of time, I would walk to the station. It was a 17 min walk according to Google, so probably a half hour. It wasn't so bad and it might be most of the walking I get today!

I bought my ticket and was grateful for elevators for both down and up to the platform. I had less than a 10 minute wait, and the train isn't crowded. This is about a 1/2 hour trip and then I start the airport trials!

Check in was very fast, since I had completed the Delta Fly-Ready beforehand. Security was also a breeze. I looked for a Delta Sky Lounge, but settled on a wine bar, since I didn't think I'd spend more than $39. I had my first Aperol spritz--okay, and my second.

Next stop was the gate. Forgot that I would need to go through immigration again, which took another 10 minutes. I'm at the gate, which has an electronic sign that says, "Departs 13:15--Boards 14:00." That's some interesting timing!

I'm on the plane now and we were able to take off our masks once the doors closed. At that point we became a sovereign territory. This section is three across seats, not 2. Apparently Comfort + is the new main cabin. Ready for my 10 hour flight....Weiterlesen
