This post is pretty boring. They might get better from here.

Airport transfers can be long and boring. Nothing boring about the transfer to flight IT32 from QF6 at Hong Kong. It's a tight crossover, so Roy from Qantas is waiting at the gate as we disembark, to whisk us across the enormous complex via back-alleys, freight elevators, staff-only queues and a train. Best way to avoid waiting at customs? Have less than 60 minutes between your international flights.

That was fun, but the Kingfisher flight itself is impressive - the staff are fantastic and the A330 aircraft is significantly more upmarket than the Qantas 747. The personal touches - a porter to meet you at the taxi and help you check in - make travelling a pleasure. They're probably also part of the reason Kingfisher is in receivership. That, and the anti-competitive nature of the Indian aviation industry.

Waiting for transit is very annoying. Just prepare yourself by reading books or listening to music. Greetings from Young Entrepreneur
