My friend must have got lost in Sheretyevo - apparently he was starting to give up hope of ever returing to India. DNA was a genius. @Vivek: Changi is nice, very open and airy with great facilities, especially the new Terminal 3.

I checked CDG's spelling before posting, never thought I would get Qantas wrong :) Haven't been to Amreeka, so my best airport experiences would have to be Singapore and Moscow (Domodedovo, not Sheremetyevo - which is a nightmare). Incidentally.. a Dougal Adams quote: <blockquote>It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase, 'as pretty as an airport.'</blockquote> Damn..

I flew Air India only once - my initial trip to the US. The check-in guy messed up our seats arrangements - and the onboard stewardess would not allow us to exchange seats, 'coz she was adamant on going by the books and insisted that exchnaging seats would mess up the seating printout given to her !! @Sakshi: drinks are usually free on international flights, but yeah BA does understand the concept of drinks before (and after, and inbetween) meals :) @shr: will try sometime. @confused: how did u get the hipflask through security ? @cc: thanks !

And agree with Vivek that CDG is a nightmare. I have no choice but to fly in and out of there couple of times a year and dread it. And Oh, don't you think Air India stewardesses treat their passengers like school children on a picnic? Welcome back and love the length of the post! And agree with Vivek that CDG is a nightmare.
