2008-09-04, Delhi to Chennai

2008-09-04 19:15, JetLite S2251, DEL - MAA

This is a very weird flight to step into. Nothing about the airline, but when you prepare for this journey, you realize that you are traveling from the heart of North India to one of the far reaches of South India. The culture shock you can expect to experience trumps travelling between countries.

Delhi's domestic airport terminal, like most other Indian airports is better than its international counterpart. Facilities are well laid out and there is ample space and sitting area. There is no artificial sense of awe being instilled into the passenger. The reason a person has visited this building is to board an airplane, and this building does not try to convince the person otherwise.

The flight to Chennai was uneventful. Having fallen asleep slightly before takeoff, I missed most of the time spent inside the airplane. The crew was courteous and the aircraft was in good condition.

Chennai airport was a blur. I just wanted to fall asleep by this time, and that is what I did. 

Nothing more I can add.
