All good things must come to an end, as the saying goes! Off to the airport bright and early....waiting for our "short" flight to Tokyo....
And then.... one of the most wonderful things that can happen at an airport.....happened.
The Delta service desk was asking for volunteers to be "bumped" from our long Tokyo-Detroit flight. Incentive was $600 per ticket....hmmmm.....
Strangely, they were able to book us on a different flight that actually gets us home 20 minutes sooner than our original flights.....wow...
and it gets better....they eventually find us seats in the business class section!!!
This is a super-big deal for the long flight! The Delta 747's have all been retrofit in the past few months to their new "Lay Flat" setup.
Here's what our little "cabins" looked like - the seats are electric and they really do stretch all the way flat so you can sleep!
You know me - I get a big kick out of this sort of thing! Here are some of the items we were served in the course of the flight - (I'm watching a Robin Williams comedy routine on my entertainment screen....)
Snack -
Then an appetizer -
Then dinner (Wanda Sykes was on by then....)
Sometime many hours later they brought breakfast -
And that's all folks! Stamped in-and-out on my passport....home now and ready for some more jet-lag!
