The Long and Arduous Flight

The journey from Halifax to Entebbe is a long one at the best of times. Our route took us to New York, where we landed in JFK. JFK boasted an impressive array of airline loyalty, as well as an impressive array of terminals
This picture is taken from the train that links them all. The green plane is part of Aer Lingus, an Irish airline. The flight attendants for Aer Lingus wore green; I thought that was cool.



From New York, we boarded a plane to Dubai. It was the A380 airbus, which is a very large and very nice plane.

It was nice even in coach: they provided us with cool washcloths, a tooth brush and toiletries, and (mostly) delectable food. In front of each passenger there was a television screen, which boasted an incredible selection of movies and games. You could even see a video from the front and the bottom of the plane, so that people who weren't close to a window could still enjoy watching the ground. Each seat came equipped with a phone and, though it was $5 US a minute to phone people on the ground, it was possible to call between seats for free.

Coach was so nice that I couldn't even imagine what Executive and Saudi-Sheikh class were like, but when I came home I looked it up here.

Unfortunately, even the deluxe feeling of the plane could not really make up for the fact that we had to stay in it for twelve hours, and it was a difficult flight. I dozed off about halfway through, but about four hours before the end of the flight I began feeling nauseous in my sleep. To make a long story short, I ended up puking for the last few hours of the flight, and arrived in Dubai feeling disgusting. The flight attendants were very nice and very helpful, but nothing really beats being sick at home.
