Another European boarding scrum as the masses prevented any priority boarding. We just joined the queue for the self-boarding scanners. Good thing we didn't wait until the end to board as overhead space was already hard to find by the time we finally got to our seats. Push was delayed 10 minutes while some Russian refused to take his Y seat until he could be seated with his wife. FA had to request help from a pax that could speak English and Russian and translate.

Snack on a 40 minute flight. Took one for the team and photo op, but what's the point of offering anything with garbage like this??

On time arrival at 7:30P. With a gate A32 arrival and gate A26 departure, the old FCL would have been perfect. But with the new FCL at A13, that was a long hike. Despite Mrs. SFO's protestation, it was well worth the trek to this gleaming new facility.

And time for dinner between flights...

I had a sampler including Classic Beef Wok (filet, asian veggies, steamed rice), Chicken Koy Soy (chicken breast with chili coconut sauce), Ravioli al funghi and grilled salmon. Everything was great especially with the Veuve Clicquot Brut Rose.

And the Viennese apple strudel.

At T-30, we headed out for the long trek back to A-26.
