How many planes?

I’ve spent the better part of 2 days working out our flights for the trip to China.

Mission accomplished but let me tell you…I don’t care if I e-v-e-r have to book another flight. EVAH. What a headache.

So the question of the day is: how many planes does it take to get us to China and back?

The correct answer would be…drum roll, please…8!

We leave Charlotte on February 26th at 4:36 pm. Then it’s on to Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seoul and arrive in Beijing on February 28th at 10:55 am (February 27th at 10:55 pm EST).

Coming back, we leave Beijing on March 13th at 12:10 pm (March 13th at 12:10 am EST). Then it’s on to Seoul, Los Angeles (where we’re staying for almost 2 full days to visit friends), Atlanta and arrive in Charlotte on March 15th at 6:34 pm.

I assume you are flying Delta because that’s Atlanta’s hub.

With all that hassle I think I’da called AAA! I can’t imagine the problems of changing planes and baggage with 2 little girls along. Take plenty of Excedrin!

I’m so jealous about that visit with friends!  Maybe we should crash…

Nannie-Coe, I think I’ll just take some Benadryl and sleep through the whole thing.

Cool, Doug.  Delta is an excellent airline.  I fly Delta all the time.

I wouldn’t care if it took 12 planes if it meant I got to go back to China!  If you could manage a side layover in Nashville, Cari and I could see the Henderson Clan ya.  Have a great trip!
