Around the world in 15 hours! (Half way that is...)

I recently took the non-stop Continental flight from Newark to Mumbai. It is pretty amazing that once you board the aircraft, a movie, two meals & few hours of sleep later you are actually touching down at your home country!!

This was the first time I took Continental and liked their service very much. Take off and landing was so smooth that you would miss it if you are not paying attention. The crew was friendly & courteous. Kids too enjoyed their choice of movies & games. They even liked the meal options. Not a stir or complaint from the kids all through the flight.

The only downside is that not enough connecting flights to Trivandrum or Tuticorin or Madurai from Mumbai. I had to wait 8 hours to catch the first flight out to Trivandrum. Since I have family in Mumbai the wait was okay. Let's leave it at that as it is not Continental's issue...

Thank you Continental for bringing us NRI's closer to home!
