In transit from San Francisco to Delhi via Beijing. Our carrier is Air China; very Chinese. 747 from SFO to PEK; but, a new one. We like to go for the back of the plane, throughout coach normal seating is 3-4-3 except for the back three rows where it is 2-4-2. Two seats with two and a half seat space, a little more room to spread out. Personal entertainment screens but a lousy choice of movies, lots of dozing. Two meals, the first was a choice between pork or duck. Tough choice. Second meal of the 11 hour flight was seafood or beef. Sounds better, but…..
Transit security in Beijing airport is slow and thorough. The big thing now is lithium-ion batteries and chargers. They have to be pulled out of carry-ons and inspected by hand. Also, everyone gets a full body pat down by a female Chinese TSA officer. She was very slow and thorough as well. Two hour layover before our 6 hour flight to Delhi. We will arrive at 1 am.
