9/19/00 AA465 DFW-LGB Seat 12D

The return was totally opposite of the outbound flight. Totally full flight; surly and inattentive FA's, a middle seatmate that was a 'space hog', etc.

Only redeeming feature was the meal, believe it or not. Choice of Chicken & veggies or pasta, I chose the pasta. Adequate salad with creamy peppercorn dressing, tube pasta in a tomato/cheese sauce and roll & butter. Small, but very moist & tasty brownie for dessert. Drink cart followed at then end of the meal.

The meal trays sat for almost an hour after the meal was served. The FA's still had a cart in the aisle towards the back. Finally I got up & took my tray to FC (also full) and gave it to the FA there. She was nice about it & said she was sorry they hadn't picked up trays yet. Apparently there was a problem with the F galley oven that took some time to deal with.

Into LGB on time, my bag come out almost last. Rating on this leg - D

Unfortunately, I may be flying more of this flight due to the 'no Sat. stay' requirement. It sure makes it a lot cheaper to do a midweek 2-3 day turnaround.
