***Flight to Berlin: July 1 and 2***
Promptly at 9:15 AM, SuperShuttle arrived to take us to LAX for our KLM flight to Berlin, by way of Amsterdam, scheduled to depart at 1:45 PM, giving us plenty of time for check in and security check. As chance would have it, we were joined in the van by another couple from Fountain Valley, Paul & Cheryl Ann, who were not only on our flight but were also to be on our cruise, also taking the two day pre-cruise extension in Berlin as were we.
Our flight was slightly delayed due to the KLM crew being involved in a minor auto accident on their way to the airport, but soon we were all loaded aboard the Boeing 747 in seats 52 A&B on our way to Amsterdam, a non-stop, over night flight of about 10 hours over Western United States, Canada, Greenland and the North Sea.
