The first few days of my stay in America have come to an end. Now that the difficulties of these days are behind me and new ones won't arrive until tomorrow, I want to describe my first impressions. And I don't even mind the African American guy lounging on the bed next to me, blasting his strange music.
When I was heading to Domodedovo, I expected to see a small, dirty room hastily equipped as an airport. In reality, it is a truly huge building that meets all international standards. State-of-the-art equipment, cleanliness, free Wi-Fi—honestly, even London's airport seemed less interesting to me.
Initially, it was planned that I would go to the USA with a friend, with the only difference being that he would arrive a day later. The surprises started right at the beginning. I went online and saw a message: "Tyoma, sorry, I can't go, I won't have time to pass my exams." Fantastic)) Oh well, more for me then.
After going through the check-in procedure, I ended up in Duty Free (a place where you can buy anything at cheap prices; alcohol is, of course, in the highest demand), where I met another lonely adventurer—Anatoly. Together we wandered through the nooks and crannies of Duty Free and boarded the plane.
Have you ever flown? The takeoff itself probably evokes the most emotion. That feeling when you are literally pressed into your seat and you rise into the sky. It's great! Then, a beautiful view of vanilla clouds appears before you. At some point, you even feel like you're in Antarctica, where there is snow and blue ocean everywhere.
The service on the plane is also top-notch. Smiling flight attendants, delicious food (salad, main course, and dessert), and equally tasty drinks (during both flights, I managed to try liqueur, real beer, and whiskey). For entertainment, there is a monitor equipped in every seat. On it, you can watch various shows, movies, the flight path, time to the destination, etc.
There is only one downside: about 20 minutes before landing, the plane slows down, and apparently because of this, your ears pop and start to hurt a lot. Although, maybe it's just because I'm not used to it.
