Flight to India

is long!

Trane sent me business class, which made it quite nice.  On the flight from Chicago to London the seats went mostly flat.  However, I could get comfortable so I didn't sleep.  I sat next to a nice lady who was chatty (she was on vacation with her husband and 5 year old girl)

 In London we took a bus to another terminal, then had to wait in line to go through security again.  I wouldn't want to have a short layover there.  It was quite the process to get between places.

 At Heathrow there is a lounge for British Airways that was very nice, lots of food and drinks.  They also had showers you could use.

 The flight from London to Chennai left at around 2 in the afternoon.  This place had better sleeping arrangements.  I finished watching Silicon Valley (s01) and watched Pixels which was pretty good.  These seats are the first class seats, the business class seats were a little smaller.

 My first Indian meal.  Chettinad chiden, dhania pulao and tadka dal.  It is a regional Chennai dish according to the menu.  It was quite good.  Actually all the meals on the plane were pretty good.

 This was interesting they sprayed some sort of insecticide on the way into Chennai.  Of course it was safe for humans.

 Bagage claim was normal.  I picked up my bag, then had to go through a customs checkpoint and left it there... I was supposed to fill out a form, but didn't, but she just told me to go anyways.

I also didn't fill out the form at the first custom checkpoint, so the guy gave me one to fill out.

Once we got to the hotel, I verified that my bag wasn't in the car, so I had to go back.  The driver made me pay the parking fee the second time.
