Off to Santorini

Today, Mrs. SFO777 and I are off to Santorini, to celebrate our 20th anniversary.  Our first stop is London as we're using the return portion of our January Athens-LAX outbound.  Although it's a single connection, LAX-LHR flights misconnect to the one daily morning London-Santorini BA nonstop.   Surprising light traffic on the 405, 105 and Sepulveda on a gloomy Friday in SoCal.

I dropped Mrs. SFO777 off at the Flagship First entrance and then went to park.   Not sure what the deal was today but there was no porter outside and no one inside seemed to care.  #GoingForGreat indeed.

Door was closed, had no sensor or handle.

Ten minutes later, I was back to pick up Mrs. SFO777 and head to Pre-Check and the Flagship Lounge.

We headed for the Admirals Club/Flagship Lounge...

... and directly to Flagship First Dining which is reserved only for international First, transcon First and Concierge Key.

The coolest thing about the new lounge is the vintage photos of celebrities flying AA years ago.

This is second visit to the LAX Flagship Lounge and it continues to be an attractive oasis with excellent staff.

Breakfast on my previous visit was inedible, so I was interested to see if All Day Dining would be any better.  Hint: It wasn't.

We both had a glass or two of the lovely Bollinger, and then the Lobster Pad Thai which our server Jocelyn said was one of their most popular dishes.   

Ugh.  More inedible food.  The pasta was bone dry while the lobster was just plain gross and disgusting.  We had a couple of bites and another glass of Bollinger, while we lingered a while at our table until we headed down to our gate.

Yuck.
