I made it!
Bienvenue France!
Flight Travels
This was the longest flight I had ever taken! And my first
time doing connections.
With a little over an hour between every flight I found
myself with not a moment of downtime!
Running for what seemed like forever to get to my connecting
Terminal.
JKF to CDG (7 hour
flight)
After barely making it to this flight. I arrived at the
plane doors out of breathe and dying of thirst! A lovely male attendant
welcomed me in French. I smiled and said Merci. Trying to practice my manners
in French bit me in the butt cause he then proceeded to tell me where my seat
was in French -_- Reading his hand movements I started in one direction and
turned back saying, This way? To confirm lol.
Moving through the isles I felt sooo cool! This JET felt
just like the ones on TV! Fancy business class with reclining chairs into beds
and giant cubby holes. Then the Economy Class divided into 3 sections.
Window (3 chairs) aisle (4chairs) aisle (3 chairs) Window
This flight had its ups and downs. I sat in the aisle of the
middle seated section of 4 chairs. I was actually supposed to be in one but
another lady switched seats before I got there and that was fine. We spoke for a bit and then engulfed ourselves with both food and entertainment. I opted for the Low Sodium dinner which was delicious and was served first. I got steamed tilapia with asparagus and mushrooms. With a side of green apple apple sauce (bitter and nasty), a salad, a fruit salad, and water. The food was tasty and cooked with like NO salt lol. but they gave me sea salt, sugar, and butter on the side to use as I wish which was nice.
In front of me was a touchscreen with plenty of options. Latest movies to watch, classics, as well as radios and full albums to listen to. I watched the Lego movie which was AWEEESOOMMEE!!!!
Shortly after watching it I started feeling not so good. Then we had turbulence which made things worst. I had some water took 2 advils and went to sleep! When I woke up I was feeling a little better and we were close to landing.
CDG – Paris
Golden widen panel roofs
Beautiful fancy water fountains.
And also a long journey to my connecting flight.
When I got to the gate I found 2 other SCAD students as well
as a moment to breathe before boarding again. It would be an hour and a half ot
get to Marsielle (pronounced MAR-SAY) After boarding a less luxurious plane and
smaller in scale Air France jet I began to read. Take off was delayed about 10
minutes and shortly after take off I found myself asleep until we nearly landed
lol.
