So we were late leaving, but having the (rare for this trip) luxury of a long connection time I was totally unfazed.

A mobile media player was handed out. This plugs into the in-seat power supply and has half a dozen movies and tv shows loaded. Not a particularly good selection, which bodes poorly for me as I have some more flights coming up in the same aircraft type I think. I caught up on some reading instead.

A slow meal service. The flight passed quickly and reminded me just how much I am used to long flights.

When we arrived in Frankfurt we had a very fast taxi. It was as if the captain was running late for a hot date. We got a very close gate, so only a few metres to get to the transfer desk, and a passport check at the top of the airbridge.
