A travelogue you shouldn’t care to read

After the appalling experience of 32E, the flight on the next leg was pleasant. I have traveled in only two European partner airlines, Air France and KLM, and I believe the European partners take better care of the passengers. The flight attendants are soft spoken, the aircraft better maintained, food quality is slightly better and since most of the aircrafts are new, the in-flight entertainment is naturally better – there is a TV screen right there in the seat in front of you and program choice is yours! Compare that with the Indian leg – common screens that are not visible from all the seats and a dismal selection of movies. The flight attendants are rude, not to mention their gaudy make-ups, the food is barely edible and flight timings so odd that it appears they are designed to enhance your jet lag!

On the domestic flights, NW charges for the pack of pretzels $1 or snack box $4. Call me cheap if you will, but I am not going to buy that. Just a cup of water will be fine thank you.

All right, from now on, I shall not whine.
