Cathay Pacific First Class YVR-JFK

I headed out to the gate at around T-35.

Only to find the gate locked.  Transit pax from the inbound HKG-YVR flight had not yet boarded so YVR pax had to chill in outside.

After about a 20 minute wait, we were finally allowed and boarded immediately.

Even though it's been around for a while, I still love the 1-1-1 cabin.

One of our two wonderful FA's tonight, Jutha will one of many glasses.   

Meh,

Tonight's menu.

Showtime.

The salmon and scallop starter was delicious.

And the sweet personalized note.

Mushroom soup... yummy.

Oh yeah...

The tenderloin was outstanding and perfectly prepared.

And with bearnaise.  OMG.

What an amazing but all too short flight.  Hands down, the best North American transcon flight.   And now the letdown, the trek to Terminal 8 and American.
