Dulles International Airport
5pm
After an exciting night of packing, I've had a great trip from Phx to DC and am sitting at the gate for my flight to Riyadh on a Boeing 777.
My big thrill this morning checking in at the United desk was finding that my meticulous box-weight planning paid off. I had lugged all three boxes over to the UPS store yesterday to use their scale and had packed the boxes to a fare-thee-well of the 50lb limit. At one point I ran out of sealing tape and had to dig into the tool box for duct tape...which is significantly heavier than the plastic stuff.
Results:
Box 1: 49.5 lb
Box 2: 49.8 lb
Box 3: 48.1 lb
I got a nice attaboy from the ticket agent for hitting my weight limits so exactly.
Can't say I'm too fond of the Dulles WiFi system: it's easy enough to access but then you've got to pay one of their preferred providers $6 if you want to connect. Phx Sky Harbor is free to one and all.
The plane is scheduled to leave at 6pm and arrive tomorrow at 1:40pm.
Next stop: Riyadh
(Since I'm actually writing this retroactively, I'll just tell you that we arrived in Riyadh at precisely 1:40pm)
Was Your luggage Directly Booked to Riyadh from Phnx ? Heard Saidi Airlines sometimes dont do code Sharing.
