Thank you so much.
Many people comment that I have
come to visit India.
But in reality, I have come to my home.
I'm going back to visit the US.
Emotionally. I know physically it seems the opposite. I do get it.
But emotionally my home will always be India.
We have come to Parti Kisan Union Virsa.
So I think this is a farmer's car.
They first checked the car's trunk. Indian malls are much safer.
The US doesn't have security that's why shootings happen.
But here no gun shootings have happened ever.
There is a sale here.
I don't want to take black because it is very common.
I can take the green or the red one.
This looks good. It's very lightweight oh my god.
It is very high quality.
Shit. 19000 Rupees.
So expensive.
Let's check out VIP Lounge.
So this is 50% off. It'll cost 14,730 rupees.
But it's light so it should be cheaper. How much is it?
This has single wheels and that has double. So the chances of breaking are higher in this.
There are many pockets.
So the next step before
is the covid test.
The requirement when I came was of 72 hours.
Now the US has made it 24 hours. My flight is at 3 at the night.
Because I could only test after 3 AM today, I'm doing it today morning.
And I have to go at night to the US.
So this is the Guru Ramdas Hospital.
Payment Center. So the Covid test is done. I sneezed a lot honestly.
In Amritsar, it costs 900 rupees but in the Delhi airport, it costs 300 rupees.
This is the difference. Also, they don't give it online so you have to take the hard copy with the doctor's stamp.
So I'll come here to collect it at 5 PM.
I have more luggage and less space.
So now it's 10:30 PM in the evening. My flight is at 3:20.
It leaves from Amritsar without stopping at Delhi.
Luckily I got the chance. This flight started in April only.
Before you always had to go through Delhi.
But it has been a little expensive.
This is the first time when I saw that if I go to Amritsar it'll be cheaper.
Everybody wants to go via Delhi so they assume it'll be cheaper.
And this route has just started. So I'm going from Amritsar to Doha and then Doha to Atlanta.
Without stopping anywhere in the middle.
I found this to be a big thing and it's going to be my fastest route.
Now before going. One final game of sweep with grandma.
Why did you wear a shawl? Are you feeling cold?
No, I wore it just like that.
And sweep is a very popular game from the villages of Punjab
They know it in every village and every person knows about it.
Grandma, you used to play it in your place also, right?
Everybody knows it.
So basically you should have more points in spade.
You to max them by picking cards one by one.
Now, nine in.
So far going pretty well. I'm winning and grandma doesn't have a single point.
She doesn't have a single spade.
Five.
I don't want to play.
Now it's around 12:10 PM. Actually AM.
I slept for one hour after winning the game 2 times.
I wanted to play more but I'm feeling very sleepy.
And my flight is within 3 hours and 10 minutes. So it's the right time to go.
I don't want to be late.
And the big news that I want to tell is that
I got a free upgrade to business class.
I told grandma that she deserves it first.
Grandma has shown me Baghban so many times that I know our parents deserve it first.
So let me tell you the three steps needed to get your business class flight
Number one is that because I have the Chase Credit card so
in that, I have as you can see hundred & seventy thousand points.
I transferred them to British Airways because British Airways
is the partner of Qatar Airways.
So in British Airways, like the 1000 points
Avios points that I have already transferred.
Now, because British Airways is the partner of Qatar Airways
and because Chase is not directly a partner of Qatar
So I had to transfer them via the British.
Then I went to Qatar Airways and saw that the business class flight is for 5 lakh rupees.
Then I went to the points.
And I did half of the flight in economy and half in business.
So this way I got the 5 lakh rupee flight for 60000 rupees.
So I offered it but she doesn't want to come to the US
So that's why I upgraded it for myself.
Bye grandma.
Bye son. Stay happy.
Thank you. Bye.
So I don't have the business class flight from Amritsar but
I'll go to the business side boarding. Let's see what the difference is.
I have never experienced it in life but I'll get to do it today.
This is mandatory for Amritsar airport.
The longest queue here is for Spicejet. Wow.
I have to go to the business class. I can't believe that business class will have the smallest line.
So Qatar Airways said that baggage screening is important.
I'm still in the queue for SpiceJet.
The baggage screening tag from Qatar Airways will go here.
At the Spicejet screening gate.
I'll only get a boarding pass after that.
So this is screening number two.
So this has the security tag of Spicejet because
security is of Spicejet and the flight is of Qatar Airways.
The line as you see is very long.
The weight of my suitcase is 25 and I know in the economy only 23 is allowed.
Let's see how much is allowed in business.
The first flight is economy and the second is business.
So done with security check and immigration.
I had seen all these photos in the Partition museum as well.
We are going to Montreal.
Montreal. And you?
We are going to Toronto.
Toronto, nice. What was your experience of immigration?
In Delhi, all the lines cross within 5 to 10 minutes.
I came to the airport at 12 AM.
And by the time I came in it was 2 AM. 2 hours I spent standing.
How much time did it take you?
We came at 11 and we came in at around 1:30.
At 1:30. For 2 and a half hours.
After crossing four lines.
Oh my god. There are a lot of mosquitoes here.
I think we are late. We had to take off at 3:20
It's 3:30 right now.
Headphones. Pillow.
These are very comfortable. They help a lot in sleeping.
But I sleep like this.
This is our breakfast. I had slept and they didn't wake me up.
I had to tell them I had fallen asleep and will you get it for me.
But luckily they gave me.
So this Hamad Airport has expanded a lot.
Its capacity used to be around 20-30 million people.
Now it's at 40 million and it's so amazing.
So this is my transfer.
So they took my perfume at the security check.
They told me that the quantity is less but the bottle is big.
The airport is overall so modern and beautiful.
Here I figured out that I have to go to lounge gate A.
With a lamp on his head. It's very cool.
I didn't luck out at the lounge even though I had a business class flight.
They told me that because I had booked half the flight by cash and half by points
If I had booked the whole with Avios points then they would have given it to me.
It was very expensive for 6 hours. So let's skip it and my boarding is in 10 minutes so I wouldn't get a lot of time.
Wow. I get boarding priority.
So security check is done. I can't believe I met a friend here as well.
Coincidentally. I didn't message anyone.
I just posted one Instagram story and can't believe it.
No, but the Qatar airport is very common so when I saw your story
I knew I think I'm gonna see you in Doha.
I thought you were going to Seattle because the Seattle flight is also at 7:55 AM.
I thought I'll meet you at some other gate
All the US flights from Doha are at the same time. Around 7:55
Coincidence. I brought my grandma last year and he is bringing his this year.
It's a big coincidence.
Yeah, got inspired.
My turn has come.
I can't control my excitement. Another discrimination here.
Wow. This is sweet.
So this is my seat. Window seat.
We can make two people sit here.
I got some privacy and now I can remove my mask.
They wouldn't have allowed it in the economy.
Let's see how to control it.
I think this is the controller.
Okay. So I still need to learn.
Apart from the outlet cause, you need it to charge your laptop.
110 volts is of the US so it will work.
You also get HDMI.
So thanks to that,
I can actually project my laptop on this big 32
inch screen because of which I can do my office work better.
I'll be more productive and I found the controls.
So these are the controls to bend the seat.
Let's try pushing this button.
First I'll have to make some space.
Now, I can change it.
Wow.
It's just like a car's setting.
I think this is the massage.
Now, let's see their entertainment system.
For entertainment, we'll go to the movies. Let's see it here on the big screen.
Entertainment. Let's see what movies they have.
Oh, Spiderman-No way home is here I think.
So these are the options for Bollywood.
There are a lot of options in new releases.
I have not seen any movie amongst these. Except... Actually, I haven't seen any.
All-time hits. Maybe I have seen a movie in this.
No movie not even Chhichhore.
I have been to IIT Bombay so I must see this.
I have not seen Super 30. I must watch it.
Watch.
There is secret storage here. If you click this.
I think this. Yeah. Here you'll get a water bottle,
a vomiting bag and also
ORYX headphones. These are going to be noise-canceling headphones.
My Sony might be better but I'll try this as well.
I actually underestimated them.
The noise cancellation quality of these headphones is very nice.
I'm feeling weird cause I always go in this direction but today I'm going like this.
For the office which is at 3, I have
So I have 6 hours left.
Yeah, more nuts and this is a mimosa.
So it's an alcoholic drink. I wanted to taste it.
I won't drink much just to taste it.
So this is the business class bathroom. First time.
There is plenty of lights here and it's so much different than the economic one.
We have lotion and face water. Facial water,
It's a new thing that I hadn't heard.
So this is awesome. Also, there are mirrors in all directions.
And the cool thing that I got to know is that they put a paper on the seat.
Once I leave they'll keep a paper on the seat to keep it hygienic.
It's so cool.
Thank you so much.
I'll have to use some force. Okay, let's go.
So this is I think toiletry. I can't figure out what it is.
This is the toothpaste I believe.
Let's see what else is there. This is the brand from Paris.
So this is lotion, lip balm, earplugs, and socks.
Wow. These are very very high quality and soft.
So these are my tracksuit, shirt, and pants.
And this is the lemon mint drink which is their flagship drink.
Can I have greek yogurt, passion fruit, and this whole thing?
