The benefits of those time buffers

shapeimage_2-18After checking out and getting a free cab to the airport as compensation (worth between 250Rs and 400Rs) for the lack of hot water and wifi we got to the airport.

We also realized that our plane was scheduled 30 minutes earlier than original plan.

The security personnel weren’t faster at Delhi International airport than anywhere else and when we got through security we should already be boarding. We asked for a drive to our gate (one ought to do this every time) and got to the gate as last passengers during Final call (however we didn’t have our names called out). Now we’re just crossing our fingers that the luggage will make it all the way as well…
