I took a connector flight from BOM to DEL on Kingfisher as a part of Delta's AMS to BOM flight. For a one hour and 50 minute flight, the airline served tea, and full breakfast. The find of breakfast that I remember begin served by PanAm in the heydays. Kingfisher is one of the six 5-star airlines based on SKYTRAX rating system. I'll take another flight next week with them which is going to be a lunch flight ;)

Bad news, Darryl: I'm at JFK now, where they put me through the only TSA line that didn't have one of the new Xray machines. I have failed my readers.

Charles, I just tried the PC-version of the app you recommended. It works. Thank you and I'll email her.

I haven't used it yet, but TSA has an app that according to them tells you wait times at airports. http://apps.usa.gov/tsa-app/
