Day 1 – The tiring beginning of an exciting journey

On the first day of this trip, we met at check-in 1 at Zurich Airport. At around 10:15am Ainhoa, Albin, Constantin, Dila, Matteo, Michel and Timothe met each other there.

After we did the check-in, and the security check we made our way to the to the gate. At around 1:25pm we completed boarding and took off a couple of minutes later.

The flight took 9 hours. We were able to pass time by watching movies or playing games with the on-board entertainment system.

Arrival

We arrived at JFK at 4:05pm US time. Unfortunately, we than had to wait for about 3 hours at the passport control. After the long wait we got our luggage and took an Uber to our AirBnB. We arrived at 21:30 US time at our AirBnB and were welcomed by Adrian and Diego. Some of us got something to eat and the others went straight to bed. We were all very tired after the long day.
