The Flight
Jim had prepared us for the fact we were flying a low rate airline. I'm thinking, "Great! Air Walmart!" We ate before the flight, packed snacks and water. Prepared that we might not be fed. Air Berlin was awesome! Each seat had its own IPad-like device behind the seat. There were a series of movies, tv shows, games, etc to access once in the air.
We also were given a series of goodies in our seats. Blanket, pillow, goodie bag with toothbrush, tooth paste, mask, and socks.
I learned after the flight that I needed 2 pills, not one. I was fine! Jim slept most if the flight, the kids did off and on. Not me, but I enjoyed 2 movies and lots of Big Bang Theory.
They served a meal at the beginning and beverage early in the flight, gave out bottled water later, nearing the end we had a European breakfast of sliced deli, bread, yogurt, muffin. Did I mention how good the coffee was? So good! Forget Starbucks. Oh yea, nice warm wet towelettes before our final meal to freshen up.
Dusseldorf
Surprise! Debbi, you get to land then fly again. Ugh. Really, it was fine. Quickie flight like from Hsv to Atlanta. The Air Berlin flight was just as nice. FYI: This was a nice hub of an airport. I would definitely land and connect again. Perhaps not Zurich unless we plan to be in Switzerland.
Passport Check
It's worth noting that we had to stand in line to leave our part of the airport to get to our connection. The line was to check passports. The German accent asking what brought us to Germany was a little intimidating! Chalk it up to too many WW2 movies, LOL! We stated our business and duration I'd stay, then moved on.
Well.......... This needs to be a stopping point for my WIFI checkpoint. More to tell if our long day, but I'll give you a teaser for where we are now!
