Alps and Med Day 11: BNC to ZRH to BOS

From Boston …

A long day of flying today as we make the return trip to the United States. We check out of the hotel at 7 AM and board the bus for the airport. Our planned 9:40 AM departure from Barcelona-El Prat Airport onboard Swiss International Air Lines flight 1953 to Zurich is delayed 25 minutes. Not to worry. More time for a Starbucks in the exterior airport courtyard.

We arrive at Terminal A in Zurich, but our Boson-bound flight departs from Terminal E. It takes 30-minutes to get from the A gates to our E19 departure gate. At 1 PM we leave Zurich Airport enroute to Boston Logan on Swiss International Air Lines flight 54.

We’re back in Boston about 20 minutes before the scheduled 3 PM arrival time. Then it’s through customs and baggage claim to bring the international portion of this trip to a close. Time to say our goodbyes until the next trip. Most of the group leaves Logan by express bus back to New Hampshire. When planning my flights to Boston and back I decided not to try and make a connection flight to DC today. Instead Sophie, Greg, and I share an Uber to North Station. I check in at the Courtyard Boston Downtown. Sophie and Greg drop their bags at Sophie’s a few blocks away. We grab a quick bite at A&B before I reset for tomorrow’s return to DC.
