point fu

This last flight had nearly all of them, I think I'm going to actually make this into a Bingo card! Ooh, or maybe a pack of Tarot cards! the drinker - she loves herself a pour-it-yourself lounge bar and she keeps ‘em coming once the plane is airborne. She’s also often: the talker - the one who talks loudly and incessantly even after the lights have gone out and everyone else is trying to sleep. the eater - not only do they eat all of the food they’re served, they order the entire in-flight snack menu as well. i once watched a guy on ANA consume approximately 9000 calories on a 12 hour flight – and this was after hitting the pre-flight buffet in the lounge. Impressive. He also often becomes: the farter – that guy who somehow thought that having kimchi and hefeweizen and beans before boarding the flight was a smart idea. his antithesis is the monk – the person who brings a single brown rice ball for a 16 hour flight and refuses any and all food offered to them

A quiet, 15 hour late-night flight with a spacious-but-hard bed. Great service, decent food. PROS new A350 plane with higher cabin pressure and humidity friendly and helpful staff seat design allows for a flat bed with lots of leg mobility and possible sleeping positions EWR is deserted at that time of night so it feels extremely calm and private good in-flight entertainment options good award availability flight is fairly well timed for anti-jetlag fasting, NYC traffic, and first HK airport train decent lounge with snacks and pour-your-own liquor   NEUTRAL food was decent but unremarkable   CONS no pajamas no air vents very hot cabin seat is quite hard, despite its nice design   TIPS avoid row 11 (first row of Business), especially the center seats there’s a second, smaller business class cabin that seems like it’d have less flight attendant foot traffic beautiful view of Montreal not long after takeoff HOW I DID IT 75,000 Amex miles tran
