12 hours in Washington, DC

So the bright spark in me thought it would be efficient to spend the day at work and take an overnight flight from SD to DC for a meeting the next day.. This is a 5 hour flight, 35 minutes shorter than a flight from London to Kuwait, so one would assume that a first class seat would at least be partially flat… How wrong was I.. will the Open Skies Agreement allow British Airways to operate locally in the US?

I arrived into DC at around 6am, enough time for 3 hours of sleep before my meetings could start.. never again, I tell you.. and this comes from a person who would do this often heading to Kuwait and returning back to London on the overnight flight back..

One redeeming aspect was that I got to see a bit of the Autumn (Fall) leaves. What a pretty sight.. even if it was from my hotel window..
