Day 1 – Flight

The first day of this trip started at Zurich Airport, check-In 3 at 10:30am, with me (Thomas), Florin, Sven, Noemi, Chiara, Simon, Tamara and Philippe.

We did the checkin and the security controls and at around 14:00 we were on the plane, that took off a couple of minutes later. The flight took 8 hours, a long time, but fortunately we had the on board entertainment system, we watched movies and tv series.

On board we also got 2 meals that even had mövenpick ice cream.

Arrival

We landed in New York at 11pm (Zurich Time), but in New York was 5pm, surprisingly we did’t feel tired, I guess because of the light outside, then we had the passport and ESTA check, everything went smooth and we got a Taxi to manhattan.

When we got to our AirBnB, in the Hell’s Kitchen area, we were tired because of the jetlag. We knew that the best way to get rid of the jetlag was to not sleep until local bed time, so we went out to see the time square. It was really stunning! 

In the end of the day, we went back home and ordered some pizzas, before we all went to bed and fell asleep.
