Two stunning crews in the last week, both of which prompted me to write in with compliments.
One on LAX-SYD - they were brilliant in every respect, right down to the one bloke who had a great time using his dry wit on my kids (who later asserted that these were the best flight attendants in the world).
Then another fabulous crew on NRT-SFO today - a flight that was also notable for going out with 18 empty seats in J on the 77W.
Having flown QF, SQ, and NH all in business as well on this trip, there is no question that while SQ really nailed it on the food (thanks to a couple of good BTC orders), UA won hands down on service and soft product in general. None of the others were bad, but UA was fantastic.
