Statement of the Day – Chris Corner: Flying home for Christmas (12/23 – 12/24/12)



This is it. The last day in the US has come. After a great brunch at the Power Plant Restaurant in Iowa City, Kim gave us a ride to the airport in Cedar Rapids. Fortunately, the employee didn’t care about our overweight luggage and we saved up to $300!

The journey itself was unspectacular. Everything was on time, we found everything we needed. The only bad thing was the malfunctioning entertainment system in our seats during the main flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam. There were several cool movies available, but we couldn’t watch them.
The waiting area at the Delta Terminal at Minneapolis airport was quite nice. Every seat with table had power outlets for recharging your devices and an iPad for playing games, get information about your flight, surf through the web, or order food and drinks at the nearby restaurants. 



Also funny is the comparison between the flights. Our Delta flight from Cedar Rapids to Minneapolis was with about 1:15 h ”to short” for any service according to the flight team. But on the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Hannover which took just 0:35 h we got a waffle and some juice!
We arrived at 4 pm at our apartment and started unpacking the bags. Home sweet home.
