“BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!”
(Title c atchphrase from the original television show & film series “Star Trek ”) April 1, 2019 What's worse than having a hangover but isn't an hangover ? A 27 hour travel to Vancouver and then add 4 hours for the return journey. I wish it had been a hangover instead! We traveled from Karachi to Doha- so that’s 3 hours; with a 3 hour wait in Doha. We then had a 15½ hour journey to Los Angeles. That was followed by a 3 hour wait. Finally, another 3 hour journey to Vancouver… 27 HOURS! Returning was exactly the same- except we had to add 2 more hours for the wait in Los Angeles; and 2 more hours for the wait in Doha… 31 HOURS! Being in Economy didn’t really help either! To top if off, coming over the Pole, not only did we overpass Vancouver (almost) to LAX but after our stop there, we had to fly back up North again to Vancouver. Same on the return- we flew south out LAX only to fly by Vancouver on our way to Doha!...
