In the next few minutes my flight to Brussels will start boarding. The
\n flight time will be about eight hours or less, depending on routing and
\n winds. I’m in seat 3C which is in business class near the front of the
\n plane. I think the flight is nearly full but with some empty seats. A
\n fellow was just able to score a move in economy class from a middle seat to
\n an aisle seat.<\/p>\n
This is the first time I’ve flown to Brussels from Atlanta. The previous
\n trips have all been through JFK in New York. This is a much nicer facility
\n with better amenities. I’ll probably do this routing more often, even
\n though it’s about 45 miinutes longer from departure in SLC to arrival in
\n Brussels. The check-in folks just announced that it would be at least 5
\n more minutes before boarding starts because the cleaning crew isn’t
\n finished cleaning up the airplane. No flight delay, yet…. People have
\n started crowding around the door to the jetway.<\/p>\n
I spent the three hours between flights in the Business Class lounge, a
\n much nicer facility here than in New York. I read through a few remaining
\n personal e-mails and read all the news on the web.<\/p>\n
I’m now in my seat on the airplane. The crowds are coming on and it still
\n looks like a pretty full flight. It looks like Business Class is full.
\n There is no 1st class on these Delta flights. The boarding process will go
\n for at least another 20 minutes, meaning that we’ll be a few minutes late
\n leaving for sure.<\/p>\n

\n spiral bound books, papers, manila and plastic folders. At least right now,
\n it appears that he plans to work on this flight. Me? I plan to read, listen
\n to some tunes, and if the power plug works at my seat, watch The
\n Manchurian Candidate<\/em>. I bought that movie as I was walking down the
\n concoiurse at a shop called “Altitunes”. As long as I’ve got power, I can
\n watch the DVD on my laptop computer. Otherwise, I’ll watch it in the
\n evening sometime this week (maybe). There were a lot of folks in that store
