Anxious that we would get late for our flight, we woke up at 3:45 and left the hostel at 4:30 & reached the airport at 5 am, well ahead of the scheduled check in time of 5:15 am.
After the check in, we headed for some shopping. Schiphol airport is really huge and quite a maze. We picked up some perfumes & a couple of good single malts along with kiddie stuff for my nephew.
We were able to catch a spectacular sunrise from the airport and proceeded to board the flight to Milan to catch a connection to Mumbai.
Alitalia is a no great shakes airline. The food is average & so is the attitude of the crew. The only thing remotely nice is probably the white wine. But one thing Alitalia is good at is getting you early to your destination. Atleast both times our flight was ahead of schedule.
Though they screened Pursuit of Happyness & Casino Royale, we had to see the movies on silent mode since the headphones refused to work for many people. God Bless those Alitalia souls. They should take a lesson or two from our Jet Airways.
