Travel Day part 2

We arrived at JFK on time, and I used my Global Entry at an airport for the first time. I didn't even need the card--it was all facial recognition. It was definitely faster!

My phone was all messed up from my eSim, so I had no internet. I was really tired and had thought about getting a hotel room for the 7 hour layover. All the hotels were outside the airport, and I didn't feel like going through security again! I had heard about "sleep pods" at some airports and figured JFK had to have one.

They are called Minute Suites. And they are $50 per hour. Totally worth it! I negotiated 4 hours for $170, (+tax). I was in the Central Park room. It was a small room with a sofa that may have pulled out. I just grabbed the pillow and blanket and rested/slept for a few hours.

My flight was delayed another hour, so I decided to grab some food since I hadn't eaten in over 8 hours. I wasn't even that hungry, but I had another 5 hours on a plane. I settled on a $20 bowl of clam chowder. It was actually pretty good!

The next flight was uneventful, too. The middle seat was empty again, which always nice. I arrived at PDX at midnight and was in bed by 1:30am!Baca lagi
