Transantlantic flight






Often I get a surprised reaction when I mention that my preferred airline is Iceland air. Is it because I like Iceland? I have to admit, that for the most part I just see the beautiful landscape on the postcards in the airport. (Yes, the Blue Lagoon, which close to the air port, I know and enjoyed to relax there in previous years.)

Changing planes in Keflavik means to go through security and pass port control and enter the Europe zone. That is an advantage, because later in Paris is often a long line for the pass port control. The other advantages are the departure time from Boston (9.30 PM) and the arrival time in Paris (1 PM). In the middle of the day the traffic on the motorway to Paris is 'fluide'.

Nevertheless it is a long flight and approaching Paris CDG in the morning sun over the clouds we all gladly fasten the seat belts to get ready for landing.

After a bumpy ride through the clouds we say grace to St. Christopher when the wheels touch ground again.
