Take me home country road
I am sitting at gate A6 of JFK waiting to board Emirates flight EK202 to Dubai and then to Cochin,India. I am meeting my folks and other friends over there after a gap of 3 Years.
Checkin were smooth except for my carry-in bag. I had to check that in. Its a standard size carry-in bag. I used to carry that in or gate check in all the time I travelled in domestic. Apparently emirates is strict on the dimension and weight of the bag. The weight should be less than 15lbs and should be as small as a big laptop bag. So I had to check in that. I had to re arrange the rest of the luggage and had to leave half of my camera gear in one of those baggage. I am just being optimistic that I will see my stuff at cochin.
Another notable difference I saw is with the security. Its lot lighter than in any domestic security I had been through.
Ok I need a smoke. Do they have a smoking lounge in here?
