12 May 2014

After spending around an hour in the Global Lounge, I went over to the departure gate a little early as I didn’t have boarding passes for the onward flights. Within a minute the agent printed them and announced I should just board as they were about to start. I was originally supposed to sit in 2A, however there was a couple travelling and they were separated so they asked me to switch and I sat down in 4A.

My pre-departure beverage consisted of a sprite. The main FA told me I look just like his nephew and told me jokingly to not be surprised if he calls me a different name. The crew was very warm and friendly.

We were given a choice of either a Shrimp salad or some sort of beef wrapped in tortilla. Both came with Chicken Tortilla soup which was delicious and served with croutons.
