First flight with Delta

I had chosen my seat with care and it was a window seat (although I normally don't like them) because there was just one person sitting next to me. So if I wanted to go to the toilet I only needed to make one person jump up. My other tactic was to go to the toilet about the same time as the person sitting next to me. It all depended on how badly I needed to go. So windows seat in the last row! I had fours hour layover in Minneapolis St. Paul's twin city airport, so I really did not need to be the first person out. 

Only problem with this tactic of sitting in the last row is that the food and drinks came last to me, so there really was no option of what to eat. The flight attendant really tried it make it look like we had an option ("would you like to have Pasta today? It is really lovely!) although she whispered that we really do not have any other option at the moment. My first choice would have been the pasta anyway, so I was not disappointed. As the plane was full we had to store some of the items in the over head compartments. I felt a bit silly putting my back bag there, but I did anyway. Mistake. (not really a big one.) I had some of my snacks there and some drinks (not that I would have really needed it, but with my experience if you don't have any you are going to need it). The compartments were just a bit too high for me, so I wasn't able to open them by myself. Also because I really didn't need anything from there, I didn't bother asking anyone helping me out with it. 

I watched bunch of movies during the flight. I was not tired at all, although I tried to keep my eyes closed few times. So I watched movies (and closer to end I watched a TV program just so that the time would go faster, but there was not enough time to watch a movie)(and I had already watched all the good ones); Brave, Prometheus, Cars II and Snow White and the Huntsman. There were few more good movies to choose from, but I had watched all those others that I found interesting. The bad news is that I will have the same options available when I go back... So lots of bad movies waiting to be watched on a way back. I will give a review of the movies on a later post.

The guy that sat next to me, was an older gentleman. Very American looking. We did some small talk, but otherwise concentrated on our own business. Just the way I like it. He even game me my back bag when we had landed, and I didn't even need to ask for help. What else can I say about the flight. Food was good, but not excellent. If you want to bring any drinks aboard you will need to put them in a bag, and if you want to take them through to us they need to be small items (I had to throw mine away :( ) No fruits of any kinds can be taken to US or Canada. The flight attendants were all very nice and deserve to be mentioned.

Oh and yes my back started to hurt just a little bit after the middle of the way. It didn't turn into anything bad luckily. Some good things that come out of sleeping at the airport; back gets used to sleeping on hard things and awkward positions. The flight took about 9 hours and I got some really cool pics of Greenland.
