Chicago to Doha, Qatar was a 12:47 minute flight. The Boeing Airbus 777 was spacious, new and comfortable. In fact, it was one of the few times I have actually slept on a flight. Boarding in Chicago O'Hare at 7:04 pm with the flight taking off 8:15. Cruising altitude reached 35,000' and the outside temp was -53ºF. Brrrrr . . . . . | You may not realize it, but east bound flights take a very northerly route near the arctic circle. After taking off from Chicago some of the places we flew over were Mont Lauer, Quebec, Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Southern Greenland and Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Iran, before crossing the Arabian Gulf into Qatar. |
Dinner at 11:00 pm CDT: Chicken curry, rice, aloo (potato) curry, rice and edamame salad, roll, water, cheese wine and toffee cheesecake. Even REAL silverware to eat with; no plastic on this airline (You hear that American and Delta - come on America!)
I am in need of finding my next gate for my flight to Mumbai, 12:40 pm your time - 8:40 pm Qatar time. Will arrive at 2:40 am in India. Some rest and then off to see the sights. Lots of street food, markets and heat! Gotta love the monsoon season.
More later- Namaste`!
