What seat were you in? I was in 6A. I'm rather excited that after these many years, I finally (almost) run into a fellow FTer on a flight! I've yet to meet anyone from FT inflight or at the lounge.
I was also connecting to an 20:55 flight: AC759 to SFO. As you know, after waiting for a gate to open up, AC877 finally docked at 20:25. I ended up running through customs and security and got to gate F34 at 20:40, completely out of breath, only to find that boarding had yet to begin. We ended up leaving at 21:25 and arriving at 0:20 (an hour late), after doing a go-around at SFO.
It was a long travel day that began at TXL (which I saw from another thread you were also at?).
