RDU to DC. DC to Frankfurt. Frankfurt to Delhi. This is what we did on the 15th and 16th. Twenty two hours of flying and airport time take their tole. We booked our flights with Lufthansa and were mildly dissapointed when it turned out that United serviced our flight from DC to Frankfurt. The Lufthansa flight was decidedly better. Better food, seating, and entertainment...and no crying babies in the aisle next to ours!
We arrived in Delhi at 1:15AM on the 17th, found our driver and immediately departed for Agra. It definitely worked in our favor to travel from Delhi in the middle of the night. Thankfully we only had to dodge the occasional elk-like animal and tractor. We must have been a sight for sore eyes when we arrived in Agra because the staff immeidately allowed us to check in 'early' (at 6:30AM). Shower, 3 hours of sleep and then we're off to the Taj Mahal!
Our trip was similar except delays made us miss our flight from Frankfurt to Bangalore, and we had to go through Mumbai instead of direct.
