Long-Haul Flight

This is Little Boss Cho first time on long haul plane trip. 20 hours flight with 2 rush transits in between giving total around 30 hours traveling time. Just thinking of it already give me nightmare.

First transit from Penang to Hong Kong already a bad start. Flight got delays for 3 hours and Boss Cho kept making noise wanna go on to the plane. 

Being waken early in the morning, he is still blur. 


First thing on fight, checking out all the cool stuffs and act excited. 


Even just a 3 hours+ flight, this little guy got knocked off after the 2nd hour. 


Touched down in Hong Kong International Airport around noon time. Both mommy and daddy busy looking for transit counter, our US domestic flight ticket seems get screwed up at Penang. The little boss refused to walk and wanted to be treated like our luggage. 


1.5 hours transit time is actually short.


Got the boss changed and bought some toys. He was again excited boarding to another flight. 


Mommy already so tired due to rush transit. Boss's kid meal was cancelled by the Penang staff when they rearranged our route due to delay. We asked the staff and they said they had no extra kid meal. :(


3 hours after took off, boss started to show his uncomfortable face. He wanted to sleep but the space was just too tiny for him. There after was the battle between mommy, daddy and the little boss. Whenever he found a position he could sleep, both of us cannot move. Once we moved, he cried. Then we need to take times to find another comfort position for him to sleep. I couldn't remember if I ever fall asleep for more than 30 minutes throughout the 13 hours flight. This was really exhausting. 

After the painful 13 hours flight, boss naturally wake up during the breakfast time. Amazingly, he was willing to walk by himself when we landed at Los Angeles airport. 


We only have 2.5 hours transit time at LA, so afraid of not able to catch our flight to Austin. Surprisingly, we went through immigration and custom within 30 minutes, this was really a record for us. 

However, we stuck for around 1 hour at the American Airline counter due to flight ticket screwed up. It somehow shows up in the system that we have used the ticket but we not even check-in yet. After standing for long time, the staff finally able to help us issued our boarding pass and escort us to the front line of the security check. End up we still have a little time for boss to enjoy his banana. 


It was just a 2 hours+ flight from LA to Austin but boss seems so tired and slept again. 


Arriving Austin at around 10pm, that's what I able to capture with my iPhone camera from flight.


Oh yeah! Safely touched down to our destination after 30 hours. Thanks God!
