Overflying some stunning terrain


Over Iranian airspace

I've complained about airline desserts that lack inspiration, though I've no complaints when there's ice cream!


Cheese and pralines to wrap up a satisfying meal.



Green Tea


Bottled water


Cabin view after lunch

My favorite legroom shot


A stunning sunset had me glued to the window. This would be the last rays of sunlight we'd be seeing on today's flight.


I planned to have a nap and wake up after two hours to "maximise" the experience, and reclined the seat into the fully flat position.


The Spacebed is far from flat, but it was comfortable enough to knock me out for about six whole hours. Excellent for an angled flat product IMO. Unfortunately, my original plan went up in smoke. But hey, maybe part of the experience was to get a decent amount of sleep

Shan was right next to me as I opened my eyes. "Good morning, Mr SilverChris. Hot towel for you?"
