If you were not aware, I am now spending my 3rd trip here in Krakow, Poland. All in all the flight was not that bad. I started in Memphis, TN to ATL where I actually met up with my parents who were on there return trip from San Diego. I sat with them for a bit and then hopped on
Alitalia Flight to Milan for a 9 hour flight. Got stuck in Milan for about 6 hours to where I finally made my way to Krakow. Milan is not a bad airport, especially when compared to Paris. But do plan on getting delayed for about 1-2 hours especially if it is a busy day so plan ahead. They had over 9 flights arrive at the same time mine arrived.
I was able to get some sleep with the help of my earplugs, neck pillow and eye mask. Of course, this is spring break time and the plane was full of high school kids that woke me up from time to time with the loud outbreaks, even with the earplugs. Next I will have to try the noise canceling headphones.
