Subject: Post: <p>Ten hours on the aircraft and we landed to Houston. The flight was long and boring, but luckily not so painful as the long haul flights usually are. We were gambling a bit with the seat selections, and fortunately we won the game. The aircraft was fitted with 3+3+3 seating arrangement, and we selected the aisle seats of the middle row, hoping that nobody would take the middle seat. That went exactly as planned, so we had a lot of space with an empty seat in between us. :)</p><p>My first experience on a 787 was fine, the aircraft is very quiet compared to older designs and the in-flight entertainment system works as supposed. Bridge of Spies was a good movie, by the way.. United also had WiFi available on the flight, but didn't bother testing it as they only had an entire-flight access pass available for $17.</p><p>USA never fails to surprise with the security circus. Obviously they don't have the concept "international transfer" on Houston airport: You have to go through the entire immigration process, get your passport stamped into the country and cross another TSA check before getting onto your connecting flight. The process took more than two hours, ruining our idea of laying in the KLM Crown Lounge sipping gintonics for the duration of the 4 hour layover.. Well, at least my fresh passport now have American stamp too.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
