Henrik in Seattle

Flying to Seattle

September 7th, 2005

At the 7th of September, I begin my journey towards the United States of America. My plane departs from Landvetter Airport in Gothenburg at 13:40 and I arrive in Seattle almost 12 hours later, including an intermediate landing in Copenhagen. Local time in Seattle will still only be a couple of hours later, though, as there is a 9 hour time difference between Seattle and Gothenburg.

A rather cool thing is that the Copenhagen - Seattle part of the flight is one of very few flights in the whole world where [wireless Internet access->http://www.connexionbyboeing.com/] is offered on board the plane. In other words, I can chat with my friends while flying to Seattle. Way cool! It isn't even too expensive at $30 for the whole flight (10 hours). Best of all, it is available in economy class. Too bad thought that power sockets are not, so I'm rather limited by the battery time of my laptop.
