Thanks very much
csidler. In a couple of weeks, we're off for a week in China, to Beijing and Shanghai. And our first experience with Air China and JAL.

AA's MD-80s are all 3-side on the right so I'm confused when I see those DL MDs that are reversed.

Happy to see you watched a cricket match. For those of us who have grown up with it, cricket is life, religion and more. Even the test matches are exciting. Hopefully you will be lucky to try it out someday.
I noticed that the name of lounge in MLE is now Leeli lounge. Used to be the Plaza Premium lounge when I was there in February but the interior looks exactly the same. Wonder why the name change.
Thank you for the TR.
Indeed, cricket does seem to be :life, religion and more" in some parts of the world. Call me a heathen, but I just don't understand it.
Good catch on the MLE lounge. Indeed, it used to be called the Plaza Premium Lounge. The "Leeli Lounge" is a nicer name and does seem a little more regionally apropos. Thank you
injian.

Very impressive indeed. Sad to say, I didn't even have a glass. I'd already had enough to drink. And I actually felt bad about sampling too many bottles as I wan't sure whether they had to toss the remainder of the bottle at the end of each flight.

One of the best in flight wine list I've ever seen.
