We got up pretty early yesterday morning 4:00am, to get to the airport and catch our 8:00 flight to Zurich. We flew on one of Scandinavian Airlines brand new planes which was dedicated a couple months ago to the newborn prince (and future king) of Denmark.
I was excited when I saw the plane sitting at our terminal because I had read about it. We got on and it was the nicest interior of a plane I have seen in a long time, You could tell it was brand new and very spacey. We didn't realize it till we were up in the air and they were giving us food that we were actually upgraded to business class when we checked in. YEA!! That made us love the "Christian Valdemar Viking" Plane even more! We had a really tight connection in Zurich and the plane started boarding as we were doing our security questions (They have a whole area were you have to go answer about 10-15 questions about your luggage and all sorts of other stuff before you can get on the plane) after we got checked in. I had forgotten that flying back into the united states through a transfer point is such a pain. It seriously feels like you are entering the confinement area of a prison. The security gets so much tighter and the procedures are so much greater, even more so then flighing domestically within the United States. I saw one lady as for a guys recipt to his water that he had purchased inside the terminal after the security check point. Somewhere between Zurich and Dallas we both finally got our Gold Satus on our American Airlines Fequent Fliers Program. It means we will be eligible for automatic upgrades if available and we get to preboard the plane now. Yea!!! We landed at about 3:30 Dallas time, and made it home about 5:30ish and we were in bed at about 7:30 and slept really well, we got up about 6:30 (new 6:30)I'll be posting again later in the day to tell you about the rest of our trip!!
