US of A

After a couple of unsuccessful plan to go to US of A, I landed at newark airport one week before president's day in 2005. The airport did not give a feeling of being in a foreign land as most of the people around were Indians. Anyway, the excitement of being in US was visible on the faces of all of us.

The journey started from Delhi and via Frankfurt, it reached Newark. At Delhi as the flight was full we were offered 300 USD and a stay by Lufthansa to reschedule out travel by a day. Missed the opportunity, rued over it but we packed ourselves in the flight.

The overall experience of Lufthansa was not encouraging. May be it was an impact of having travelled in Singapore Airlines earlier, which had set the bar much above Lufthansa's reach.
