Arriving in DEL was painless, I stayed at the Pullman - it was very nice. I had “airport” views. I Uber’d it into Connaught Place (35min $5.30) and spent about 4 hours wandering around then joined a paid food tour of Old Delhi - it was great, and again exclusive

After the Tour I uber’d back to the Pullman, showed and packed up and headed to the airport for my 0.2.30 flight

I was given an invite to the Enclam Prive lounge, nice enough but I was tired. I tried an Indian sparkling wine- not worth taking a picture to remember it.

I had a PDB - C. H. Mumm champagne - meh. I declined the meal service and slept

The Business / Cloud 9 lounge in Addis Ababa is the biggest lounge I have ever been in. Food was ok but after being spoiled over the previous few days I didn’t feel like much

Then the last leg to my destination. Business class were called first, we went down in the lift to our own bus, we (5 of us) waited about 30 minutes, then we were driven to the remote stand to find a long line of Y passengers lined up and boarding. We joined the end of the line and upon boarding found another 5 J passengers already seated? Then more Y and a couple more J pax arrived. It was bazaar. This flight was a B737 with 5-6 rows of 4 J seats, landing was delayed 40 minutes as the prime minister was at the airport

I had to give the Mumm a second chance as it looked like a freshly opened bottle with condensation suggesting it might be cold with bubbles this time- it was much more acceptable

On the second leg I sampled the ET meal offerings, and to ensure I could say I told you so (to myself) selected the beef for main - everything else was good

I didn’t spill the coffee -that was how it was served, I just had to not drip it down my shirt
