Reached Schipol in plenty of time to catch the connection to Milan. Then, we would take the 90 minutes drive in a minibus across the Swiss border to our destination, Lugano.
After the tiring call, I actually fallen asleep even before the aircraft took off. I refused the inflight supper, and slept for almost 10 hours. Even my colleagues were surprised. My ex-boss only managed an hour sleep despite taking medications.
I would blog more about the KLM flight - on a 777-300, an aircraft which was actually longer than the 747 - which I only realised after boarding, along with 415 fellow flyers.
For now, I would have to switch off my mobile - boarding soon.
