Back to New York again
Quiet afternoon at T-6 as there was no one in line for security, let alone PreCheck.
Bad weather in the northeast and in particular in New York was causing lots of delays and our 3:35pm was already pushed back to 5:05pm. So we had plenty of time to explore.
Our gate. Indeed, a 90 minute delay.
But right next door is the Alaska Lounge, where our Virgin First Class ticket get us access.
Nothing fancy with what appears to be way too many seats for such a small space.
Nice small bar with TVs.
Great plane spotting from our window seats.
Yikes.
Yep, looks just like three weeks ago.
The Virgin America amenity kit...
... which consists of a cheap eyeshade and even cheaper pen.
We pushed back at 5:00pm and made the long trek around to the north side of the aiport.
Ooooh, how I wish I was on that plane today.
With wheels up at 5:15pm.
Today's menu, the same as 3 weeks ago.
After take-off our First Class FA Lindsay closed the galley curtain and prepped a somewhat-challenged service process. I had overheard her telling another FA something about "my first time". Didn't think much about it until she started the comical meal service.
Drinks came out out fine although nuts took another 10 minutes, and forget about round 2.
Mrs. SFO777 went with chicken salad for dinner. She apparently was the only taker as this came out at 6:01pm.
Ten minutes later, she was the only one who had been served dinner.
Lindsay then started with row 1 which took 20 minutes. Indeed, 1C was done with dinner and dessert before she got to serve row 2, or the rest of row 2 besides Mrs. SFO777 who has long since fihinsed her dinner.
Still waiting for my refill.
And finally at 6:35p, my dinner, the beef fillet with horseradish creme fraiche.
The crudite with hummus was delicious.
The beef was good but not great like 3 weeks ago.
The lemon tart desert was excellent.
