After finishing 5 epic Olympic days and finishing at in style at P&G, a quick round of goodbyes later I found myself on a plane to America. Going for the cheaper option (one is a student), the two-stage flight meant a significant layover on our flight westward.
The plan was to fly from Copenhagen to Raleigh / Durham as cheaply as possible, but also accounting for time and convenience. After discarding all the flights which had two layovers (simply horrible) and ones over 20 hours, a fair few flights remained. Cheapest option was around 5900 DKR, but that was flying out at 4 AM, so a couple of friends of mine and I settled on a 6300 DKR deal via Toronto. Only catch was a 6 hour layover in the airport, but we had company and limited funds.
Turns out, trying to kill time in an airport after 10 hours of flying is painful. You don't want to sleep (your body thinks it is 1 AM, but it is only 7 PM local time) in order to minimize the jetlag, but you cannot really do anything else. Toronto Pearson airport has an extremely limited selection of entertainment, as well as some extremely uncomfortable seats - not really helping. A 1-hour flight delay meant we landed at midnight local time, and a 20 minute drive gave me my first impression of Chapel Hill. Second leg of international studying has begun!
