Air France is decent

The flight over to Portugal was a relatively decent experience with Air France. I had a very early morning flight out of Bangalore that connected in Paris and then brought me to my final destination in Lisbon. Somehow I was upgraded on every segment of the flight despite not holding any great status with Delta (which Air France is a partner of), but I'll certainly take it.

If there's one thing that gets me at airports, and I see it's all over the globe, it's the queue that forms when there is a bit of activity at the gate from attendants. This was the line before first class was even announced to board. The day society as a whole begins to understand how airlines check people in and not form a gauntlet of bodies blocking the entrance for sections being seated ahead of them will be joyously celebrated.

I was able to get this shot of serenity in flight too...

In flight I couldn't complain. Had a spacious window seat where I could get some work done, a great selection of movies and a decent late night dinner and breakfast. Yes, that's Bachelor Pad.

The only hiccup on the trip was the tight connection time in Paris. I had under an hour to get from the exact opposite end of the Paris Charles De Gaulle airport. I've never been to France and this was my first connection through this airport so I was a bit nervous about not making my connection. After a small cardio workout running from one end to the other, I made my gate with 5 minutes to spare. Here some of the walk/jog and art info...

The flight from Paris to Lisbon was a short 2.5 hours and pretty empty so I was able to catch a quick power nap.  When I awoke, I was in Lisbon and ready to have some fun.

Cheers.
