Today I left for Sydney, Australia. Here’s how it went
- Drove from home to San Jose, California(SJC) airport about 1:30pm
- Quickly checked in and made it thru security
- Hung out in the San Jose airport lounge until it was time to board the plane
- Left San Jose, California(SJC) at 6:05pm- an hour later
- It’s supposed to be about an 1 hour 30 minute flight but the pilot put the “pedal to the metal” or whatever the saying is for airplanes and he made up over 30 minutes from our 1 hour delay!
- Arrived Los Angeles, California (LAX) about 7:05pm
- Spent the almost 4 hour layover in the Delta Lounge- it was huge and looked very new
- We flew over the entire Pacific Ocean to get to Sydney, Australia and crossed the international date line along the way and arrived ‘tomorrow’ at Sydney, Australia
- It’s supposed to be a 15 hour 10 minute flight to Sydney, Australia but we arrived about 40 minute early.
- My seatmate and I were very excited to discover the middle seat was not taken and we had all that extra space during the long flight.
- I managed to sleep a good bit on the flight- it was sporadic and broken up but still was helpful
