My First Flight To Chicago

The flight from Abu Dhabi to Chicago, Ohare International Airport took 14 hours and 40
minutes, flying over Iran airspace, Turki, Europe, over the North Atlantic and Canada. We took off at 1010 am Abu Dhabi local time and landed at 1540 local time Chicago, same day. This is becouse Chicago is -6 hours of UTC or GMT and Abu Dhabi is +4 of UTC. So at the time we landed, at our point of departure already 0140 am the next day. We landed using runway 14R of that busiest airport in the world.

Chicago, viewed from my hotel room, which is just beside The John Hancock Tower.

The temperature was around 3/4 deg celcius, I was just wandering around the hotel, afraid of catching cold.

John Hancock Tower. I was there on Saturday, a lot of tourist lining up to buy tickets to get up to the top.

Of all the places in the world, I had Tilapia Fish n Chip for lunch in Chicago. No choice, that was the only halal food I could find in that restaurant.

On the way back, broke my record,the fastest ever in commercial planes. Doing 627 knots of groundspeed or 1160 km/hour. That was due to the jetstream we were riding on, wind speed of 148 kts directly on our tail, somewhere over Canada, near Toronto.
