Cheese plate served with the Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling. Really didn't need this last dish but who can say no to a plate of cheese? Served with a nice sweet dessert wine and really there was no choice but to make an already full stomach even more full.
Like a big fat guy I ended up falling asleep in the chair thoroughly satisfied and woke up about half an hour later to a cleared table. With that I decided to have a proper sleep and asked for the bed to be made up. While the bed itself was very comfortable and there was obviously plenty of room, I was only able to sleep for 3-4hrs. I found the cabin to be quite warm (even with the fans on me) and just couldn't get myself comfortable. Perhaps it was the anticipation of the trip?
Woke up and watched a couple of movies before deciding to make a play for the green and gold olympics PJs that were on offer upstairs. The FA was loverly enough to go and have a look to see whether there were any spare and to my joy she came back with the precious bounty a few minutes later. Score!
Another couple of TV shows and it was breakfast time. Menu was as follows:
I had the coconut & banana energiser, fruit salad, mulberry danish and scrambled eggs et al, all of which where very good. About as good an airline breakfast as I have had anyway. The breakfast service also saw me get reacquainted with the La Grande Dame as I polished off another couple of glasses for good measure.
Soon after we began the decent to LAX and the experience was over. I'm not as experienced as many here when it comes to F but I really had very few complaints. The temperature of the cabin and the lack of cutlery for the steak were the only criticisms I would have. Overall I was pleased with the service and the seat and bed were both very comfortable. I will definitely be back.
