First flight after 594 days — Part 1

It’s been 594 days since we travelled in an airplane. The last time we took a flight was when my wife and I were returning from Bangalore to Minneapolis on an Air France flight on Nov 15,2019. The world, you and me have changed a LOT over the past 18 months. When we finally decided to take a flight instead of driving 18 hours from Minneapolis to Denver,Colorado for the July 4th weekend holiday, we were nervous and yet excited to experience the “thrill” of good ole’ air travel again. How would it be to sit in an aircraft with everyone(hopefully) masked up ? Will they still serve coffee and snacks? Will people still cram everything they ever owned into the overhead baggage compartment ? Since airlines do not mandate vaccination, would everyone traveling with us be fully vaccinated ?

The question we had not considered was — can we get up at 3.30AM to catch a 6 AM flight ?
