On the flip-flop OGG-SEA tonight AS served: (1) first course, olive oil poached mahi mahi on top of lettuce leaves assembled in a pinwheel pattern with bleu cheese crumbles; (2) entrees, either boneless pork chop with a gravy enhanced with Hana Bay rum and raisin flavors, with fingerling potatoes, carrots and asparagus, or a chicken breast in a pineapple sauce with a yam puree; and (3) dessert, chocolate cake with a dollop of raspberry jam on the side.
This was the single most turbulent flight I've experienced in at least ten years, as the bumps and general discomfort lasted for the first 2 hours 45 minutes of the flight, then, after 30 minutes of relative smoothness, another hour of rocking and rolling. This was all mostly clear air turbulence, as below us the sky was either clear or had small puffy clouds at a low level. Dinner service didn't get going for almost 2 hours after departure.
