and don't get me started on what ancient aircraft they fly here too ... (IC (732) and AI (310) are in the same league like AA (MD) and NW(DC9))

First on: to stow your luggage in the overhead (US and Indian pax loooove to carry loads of handluggage)
First off: to be the first in immigration where some lines tend to form when a number of aircraft arrive at the same time.
You know what I am really suprised about? Is the front cabin's in USA. It is the richest country in the world yet the 1st class is not as good as it should be. I know I was hugely dissapointed when I flew a few legs recently in the front cabin. I even had to pay for my beer while waiting for a International connection in a airline lounge
the grass is definately greener on this side only
