We are now at our hotel in Chennai. Our flights here were long yet surprisingly painless. The 16 hours to Dubai offered many movies and music options which kept us entertained and we got some rest although probably not enough. The Dubai airport was an overload to the senses. The diversity was incredible and the airport itself was the height of luxury. We enjoyed a glass of wine at one of the wine bars during the 2 hour layover. Upon check in at our gate we were notified that we had need upgraded to Business Class. What a pleasant treat that was! I have never flown anything other than economy although Matt has. The service and seating is so above and beyond it was incredible. A nice change for the last 4 hours of our travels. The customs at Chennai was smooth and we found our driver immediately upon exiting the airport. We got Jasmine flower leis which smell amazing. Seriously everything went so smoothly and so far all interactions have been incredibly pleasant, even the woman who asked if she could hold my hand on the escalator in Dubai, because they made her nervous, was sweet. Tomorrow we plan to explore the city.
The upgrade to business class was soooo worth the $4,000.00!!! And, is that your hotel or what?
ReplyDeleteWe were upgraded for free and only for the 4 hour leg which was only a $300 cost if we had paid. And yes that is our hotel I am writing this on my phone so I decided to throw a picture in.
