Asian Airlines Have Got It Figured Out

As I predicted, flying over the Pacific to India on an Asian airline is the way to go. The China Airlines flight left LAX on time, landed early in Taipei, and was very comfortable. Try getting that experience with a U.S. airline today.

Currently sitting in the business class lounge in Taipei, awaiting our connecting flight to Delhi. A beautiful, modern, big lounge. Dim sum for breakfast. A food bar where they make noodle dishes to order. Capuccino!! Free wi-fi and public computers.

We are 15 hours ahead of LA right now after our 13 hour flight. I slept for 6 hours and Caren a bit less. With dinner when we took off, they served French and California wines. Caren ate the Chinese breakfast onboard (congee and a steamed bun). I stuck to the Western breakfast (spinach omelet, fruit, yoghurt, croissant, bacon).

Next stop, Delhi. Keep voting in the poll.
