One of the many Lavatories on board
Door were closed by 8:59pm, a full 15 minutes ahead of STD.
Not very surprising seeing I only counted 52 pax out of 100 Seats on tonight’s load, no wonder it’s a goner on a gas guzzler like the 345.
Hot Towel and Pre-Departure Beverage were handed out just after door closed
I hope so too, otherwise I’m in for a REAL LONG one
With apron traffic between TBIT and T4, we sat around 10 Minutes prior to Pushback
Captain came on the PA and gave his hello with the estimated 16 Hours 45 Minutes flying time for tonight.
This is definitely not a flight for one with a short attention span.
Bye Bye LA, miss ya American Airlines
Airborne around 9:25pm was via Runway 25R then flying out due West straight out the Pacific in the direction of Tokyo.
This places the flight landing 2 days later in Singapore at 5:10am.
