Flew LGA-CLT-LAS on 7/3 and back LAS-PIT-LGA on 7/7 in First Class
LGA-CLT. Flight was delayed inbound, but the ground crew was fabulous turning the plane around in less than 15 minutes allowing us to leave on time. Due to the quick turnarround and wanting to leave ontime, the FA informed us they would not be providing pre-departure beverage service. Once airborne, beverage service and snack basket.
CLT-LAS. Predeparture drinks. Since it was a 9:45PM departure, no meal service, but inflight cafe given free for First. Had the sandwich. nothing to brag about. Snack basket came around and then we didn't see the FA for the rest of the flight, which had about 2 hours left (she was reading her book). Nothing special, especially for First class.
LAS-PIT on 7/7. Morning flight. Had predeparture drinks. Then the FA came around and introduced himself to us. Surprisingly we had a hot breakfast in F. First course was fruit and a warm blueberry muffin. Second course was a choice of Omlette, French Toast or cereal. Smaller portions than in the past, but much better than what people were paying $7 in coach for. Came by about 3 or 4 more times refilling drinks and passing out the snakc basket. Certificate given to this outstanding FA. Plasticware has to go in F though.
PIT-LGA. Pilot announced the flight was going to be very bumpy (which it was) and that he was instructing the crew to remain seated during the flight. Had the predeparture drink though, and the FA passed the snack basket around prior to departure as she would not be able to get up during the flight. Can't complain, as safety comes first.
Overall, better experience on the return than the outbound.
BTW, all flights 100% full.
