Thanks Fraser. TheBOSman beat me to it..

Thanks very much TheBOSman. I agree on the OZ caviar service. I can't recall any airline that does it better. My only problem was opening the sealed caviar container. I didn't have any western utensils so I had to pry it open with a chopstick.

Thanks seat38a. The TBIT secret security is awesome. Just hope that not too many people start using before main TBIT security gets a dedicated PreCheck lane.

That would be correct.

Thanks Madone59.

Thank you very much roadwarrier.

Thanks so much glasman19. Nope, still the 60D and iPhone 5S.

Your experience with LH in F looks much better this time than your last report. Looking forward to the rest!

Thank you Matthew. I'm glad to see OS now serving LAX-VIE. LO is also starting LAX-WAW service this spring. So lots of great new LAX service.

Thanks so much apodo77. LOL on Emma Stone winning and for that matter the whole movie winning so many awards. I guess its not surprising considering it was one of those inside, made for Hollywood things.
