Hello from Galleries First at Terminal 5 waiting for my reposition to DUB for DUB-LHR-SFO tomorrow, after finishing my first RTW segment CAI-LHR. Today I am really starting to feel completely burnt out - Cairo traffic made me very, very close to missing my flight in a situation with a driver that spoke absolutely no English; the (very turbulent) A321 experience from Cairo to London was a giant letdown compared to the QR/CX luxuries I've been having; it took 2+ hours for CX London to reissue my RTW, making me cancel my dinner plans with friends in London and now I have to freak out about the electronics ban impacting my Sunday DOH-LAX. I might need some rest but the way this trip is scheduled...

Perhaps it helped that I told the CC/CSD that it was my first trip with QR, and they were very ecstatic about trying to impress a CX FF.

Haha thanks caimaster. I ended up binging up til ep45 after my DXB flight. Shows how I fly with CX too much......it's a giant pity they are taking it away next month so I won't finish the remaining
