The San Francisco to Paris on Air France leaves every day at 3.45 pm – the same time that I depart on Alaska Airlines for Seattle. ‘Embarquement’ said the sign at the gate as the large group of passengers were boarding. They fly 11 hrs and cross 8 time zones; I fly 2 and don’t have to adjust my watch. (But hey, I would absolutely not mind flying to Paris again some time).
